Former US President Bill Clinton spoke at a commemoration event in Rwanda to pay respect to the victims of the Rwandan Genocide. Clinton acknowledged the intentional and systematic nature of the violence, with the killers being armed mostly with machetes and clubs and the airwaves being poisoned with hate to make it easy for otherwise reluctant people to participate in the slaughter. He emphasized the importance of the world knowing the truth about what happened and that it was not the result of ancient tribal struggles. The speech provided is a powerful and moving statement about the tragedy of the genocide in Rwanda and the need for the international community to take responsibility and act to prevent such atrocities from happening again. It acknowledges the failures of the past, but also points to a way forward in terms of identifying and spotlighting nations in danger of genocidal violence, building coalitions to prevent genocide, and working to remedy the consequences of genocide. The speech emphasizes that genocide is not an African phenomenon, but rather a crime against humanity that can occur anywhere. It also highlights the importance of grassroots efforts and development projects in bridging divisions and promoting reconciliation and inclusion. Overall, the speech is a call to action for the international community to work together to prevent genocide and support survivors and their communities in rebuilding their lives and societies. In the last paragraph, President Clinton emphasizes the importance of establishing a common humanity and rejecting divisions between different groups of people. He believes that the only line that really counts is the one between those who embrace respect and cooperation and those who reject it. He expresses his hope that, despite the difficulties ahead, the people of Rwanda can overcome their burden and create a better future for themselves and future generations. He concludes by thanking the audience and wishing them well.
