David
1994
Rwanda
In one of the worst outbreaks of ethnic violence since the Holocaust, more than 800,000 Rwandans were killed in the space of just 100 days in 1994.
David was one of the thousands of children who were slain.
Most of the killers were members of the Hutu ethnic majority; most of the victims were members of the Tutsi minority.
The international community, including the United States, failed to intervene in the genocide even after it was clear that Hutu extremists -- with the support of the Rwandan government -- were systematically hunting down and murdering their Tutsi neighbors. |
