Former President Clinton will lead a U.S. delegation to Rwanda this weekend to mark 30 years since a genocide ravaged the country, the White House announced Thursday.
An ethnic conflict between Hutu and Tutsi people in the country escalated to genocide in early 1994, eventually resulting in the deaths of between 500,000 and 800,000 Tutsi Rwandans over the course of about four months.
The U.S. government did little to address the conflict, working to evacuate Americans from the country and pledging $500 million for humanitarian aid. Since-revealed White House documents from the time showed the reluctance was caused by the failed U.S. mission in Somalia in 1993, which resulted in the infamous “Black Hawk Down” scandal and the deaths of 18 U.S. soldiers.

Rwanda lock up your women!
Didn’t Willie have a girlfriend named Rwanda?
Slick Willie doesn’t want to be left out,,,,his death count is only around 80.
Clinton? The guy who let that genocide happen is leading the US delegation?
Probably trying to find a new Island!
This is, arguably, the one US military intervention which could have possibly had an immediately positive humanitarian result, but Clinton didn’t consider it.
Probably no money in it for him or his cronies
Somali victory / US-allied defeat
CIA manipulated the outcome of the 1967 elections (as they did for Biden in 2020)...financed ascension Prime Minister Muhammad Haji Ibrahim Egal and Youth League party.

After Black Hawk Down? No thanks.
Still Unsolved: the Great Crime that Triggered the 1994 Rwandan Genocide
Jeremy Kuzmarov 07 Apr 2021
Excerpts:
In April 2010, when Kagame was slapped with a $350 million wrongful death lawsuit by the widows of Habyarimana and Cyprien Ntarimana while visiting Oklahoma to give a commencement address, the Obama administration filed a Suggestion of Immunity on Kagame’s behalf, making it difficult to prosecute him.[27]
And:
In the 2014 BBC documentary “Rwanda’s Untold Story,” Nyamwasa referred to Kagame—whom Bill Clinton once praised as “one of the greatest leaders of our time”— as a “serial killer,” while a former development worker characterized Kagame as the “devil,” and his regime as “pure evil.”
And:
French army Captain Paul Barril, who served as an adviser to Habyarimana, claimed that the SA-16s had Iraqi numerical markings and that after Operation Desert Storm, the CIA transferred the missiles to the RPF from seized Iraqi arms caches. The warehouse where they were stored, and then re-assembled in Kigali, was rented by a Swiss front company tied to the CIA , according to a whistleblower’s report published on the website intabaza.com .
“According to the Russian military prosecutor’s office, the launchers had been sold to Uganda by the USSR in 1987.”
French Foreign Minister Alain Juppé and Defense Minister François Leotard also claimed that members of the RPF received specialized missile training near Phoenix Arizona, which would indicate direct American complicity.[11]
Jean-Louise Bruguière told Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the UN Secretary-General at the time, that the CIA “was involved in the shootdown,” adding strength to Boutros-Ghali’s earlier statement that the Americans were “100% responsible for the Rwandan genocide.”

Its a shame he couldn’t have ridden on one of Epstein’s airplanes for old time sake.
“”Also is the vodka soaked hag of a wife going with?””
Probably not - no incoming to cause her to duck and run!!!
“”Clinton? The guy who let that genocide happen is leading the US delegation?””
Amazing, isn’t it? The UN was also useless - but why spoil their record?
Is Haiti next on his tour?
Will Chelsea join him, in her tres wedding dress?
Locking up business deals with the Rwandan government for him and the missus, no doubt. Has he registered as a foreign agent with the State Department yet?
He’s taking notes on how Rawanda was so successful genociding the Tutsis to bring home…
There is now, he has a new book coming out.
