Description

In this episode of Global Affairs Talk, we delve into the harrowing events of the 1994 Rwanda Genocide, where approximately 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu were brutally murdered. We explore the historical context, the role of propaganda and hate speech, and the international community's failure to intervene effectively. Through survivor testimonies and an analysis of post-genocide reconciliation efforts, we draw critical lessons on preventing future atrocities. Key takeaways include the importance of early warning systems, responsible media, international responsibility, and community-based approaches to peacebuilding. Join us as we reflect on how the world can work together to ensure such tragedies never happen again.
