This is an important topic because an estimated 800,000 Tutsis were killed in the three month time period. There were a lot of innocent people killed, and the whole world just turned their backs on them. When the United States hear about this issue the only thing they did was pick up our people and we didn't help anyone else. The US army's orders were to get the American's out of Africa and the soldiers were not to talk or help any of the Tutsis.There were only a few people who stayed behind and tried to help, they didn't save much, but they saved more then they would have if they left. The Hutus probably killed about three quarters of the Tutsi population. When the genocide was over many people went to Rwanda to see what happened. They felt terrible for what happened and felt they could have done more.
