Description
This collection consists of records relating to MacArthur DeShazer, who served as Director of African Affairs at the National Security Council during the Clinton Administration, and United States policy towards Rwanda from 1993-1994. Memoranda, reports, correspondence, papers, cables, and emails make it clear that DeShazer’s major worry revolved around mounting relief operations at the height of the genocide taking place in Rwanda. All of the Chief of Staff files had already been pulled for previous FOIA cases vis-à-vis the slaughter capturing the world’s attention.
