Susan Rice's aversion to US intervention against 1994 Rwandan genocide draws fresh scrutiny

Bill Clinton has called Rwanda one of the greatest regrets of his presidency. Had the United States and the world intervened earlier, experts contend, some 300,000 people might have been saved from the 1994 genocide in the small central African country.

For more than 25 years, members of the Clinton administration’s foreign policy team have been asked about whether they harbor similar remorse over inaction during the Rwandan civil war, including the president’s then-special assistant and senior director for African affairs, Susan Rice, who is now under consideration by presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden as his running mate.
