During the genocide of Rwanda, the UN and Belgium had troops stationed in Rwanda to mediate the situation, not to kill anyone. Their mediation of the situation was disastrous. While protecting Prime Minister Agathe Uwilingiyimana, 10 Belgian soldiers were captured and brutally tortured and killed by Hutu militia. The Belgian and UN forces pulled out of Rwanda and did not further attempt to intervene. The whole world knew about the genocide but no one helped. Some think that it was not an act of genocide, but a civil war because of Hutus killing Hutu moderates (Rosenberg). Furthermore, countries did not want to pay for the supplies and personnel to stop it. For example, Bill Clinton, the president of the US at the time chose not to help Rwanda
