In Philip Gourevitch's book, "We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families," he discusses the stark reality of the Rwandan genocide, highlighting the international community's inadequate response. He draws a parallel between the atrocities in Rwanda and those committed by the Nazis, emphasizing that the world witnessed a clear case of genocide but failed to take substantial action to stop it.

Instead of providing meaningful assistance, the global response consisted of sending basic supplies like blankets and food to refugee camps, which were controlled by the perpetrators of violence. This approach reveals a profound misunderstanding of the situation, as it implied an unrealistic hope that those responsible for the genocide would change their behavior, thereby neglecting the urgent need for intervention and justice.
