When the World Looked Away
April 1994. In just one hundred days, neighbor turned against neighbor in Rwanda. Machetes swung in churches where families sought sanctuary. Bodies floated down rivers in such numbers that downstream communities had to push them away from water intake pipes. Nearly one million people were slaughtered while the international community debated terminology and troop costs. This wasn't spontaneous tribal violence-it was a meticulously planned genocide that succeeded because those with the power to stop it simply chose not to. What makes this horror even more chilling is how preventable it was. Every warning sign flashed red. Every alarm bell rang. Yet the machinery of extermination rolled forward, lubricated by international indifference and calculated political cowardice. The question that haunts us isn't whether the world knew what was happening-we knew. The question is whether we cared enough to act when action could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
