Summary of an United Nations Article

The African country of Rwanda is currently in a state of genocide, and has been for many years. The Rwandan government developed a plan for the Socio-Economic Development Policy and Plan for Rwanda, which is being called the National Information and Communication Infrastructure 2001-2005 plan. Back in 1994, Col Theoneste Bagosora was basically the architect for the genocides in Rwanda, a genocide that claimed the lives of some 937,000 Tutsis and politically moderate Hutus. Despite the horrific 1994 genocide, the mindset in many Rwanda citizens still reflect racist and sexist views, often times leading to violence. The current system of government is not necessarily experimental, but is somewhat still being established, as upcoming elections determine the condition and future of the country. Furthermore, the United Nations has worked to make a positive impact on the development of Rwanda, and reforms were introduced in 1997 to improve the social, economic, and human rights conditions of the country. Although reforms have been proposed, the United Nations needs to rally to get all its members to agree to support this effort, thus determining the outcome of the country and its future state.
