Explanation

President Clinton apologized because the United States and other nations had failed to act to stop the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. During his 1998 visit, he acknowledged that the international community had not responded adequately as Tutsi people were being killed. The apology was not for U.S. troops killing people or withdrawing from a mission.
