Introduction If we picture Rwanda as team shooting for championship placement in the Premier League of economic development, it would no doubt be considered an underdog team by most speculators. But, like many of the best comebacks in history, Rwanda has progressed from the devastating background of genocide and proved to be a Cinderella story in the making. Rwanda is in the midst of the ultimate turnaround. In less than 20 years, it has forged ahead from the devastation of genocide and is entering
example of the Rwanda Genocide my argument is that representation is constitutive of the ways in which we understand the world and of the hierarchy that currently exists within mainstream media.

Through the media coverage on the Rwanda Genocide I investigate
genocide in Rwanda. The civil war in Sierra Leone began in March 1991, while the genocide began in 1994. Combined these two wars killed upward of 1,050,000 people, and affected the lives of all the people that lived there.

Politics and Ethnicity were the two main conflicts, but despite the different moments rebellions and the murder of innocent people occurred in both places. Politics was
Between April and June 1994 is when the genocide started in Rwanda. Where about 800,000 Rwandan have been killed in the span of 100 days little over, three months in Rwanda and the minority of them were Tutsi. Politics, Power, and Ethnic are the cause of the genocide. Politics was one of the causes of the genocide. “Despite the opposition forces reaching a peace agreement in 1992, political negotiations continued in attempt to achieve harmony between the Tutsis and Hutu.” (Endgenocide) The government
illustrates this answer. Accordingly, the books main thesis is that humanitarianism is about the struggle to create space to be fully human. However, he illustrates how this struggle is becoming increasingly difficult with the imperfect offering of politics, which has resulted in the blurring of boundaries between humanitarian assistance and the political objectives of military intervention.

Adriana Ramirez Dr. Inrig POL 151 31 March 2015 Response Essay “Rwanda in Retrospect” -Kuperman, Alan J. In the article “Rwanda in Retrospect,” Alan J. Kuperman argues that any kind of intervention would not have been able to save even half of the total victims that lost their lives in the Rwandan genocide of 1994.
