Why didn't more countries intervene during the Rwandan Genocide?

by melonfarmer123

To my understanding, countries such as Canada and the Netherlands did keep forces on the ground during the genocide. However, why didn't the remainder of the UN (United States, Great Britain, etc.) do more to stop what was going on?

Hi! I wrote up an answer to this awhile back, that details the basics of the genocide at the same time, which you can find by clicking here. Hope that helps!
