What are pauls initial expectations of a western response to rwandas crisis?
Paul Kagame initially expected a stronger and more immediate Western response to the crisis in Rwanda. He had reached out to the international community for help, including sending a message to the Clinton administration in July 1994, but the response was slow and inadequate in his view. Kagame felt that the West, particularly the United States, had the capability to intervene and stop the genocide but chose not to do so. He was critical of the failure of the international community to take stronger action, which he believed could have saved many lives.
