And Khaled Elgindy, a political scientist at the Middle East Institute, argues that US President Joe Biden is a big factor in the country’s stagnant policy toward Israel – supporting the war, with some alleviation of the humanitarian crisis. “Most people in the administration have probably moved on in their thinking,” Elgindy says.

It's been 30 years since a genocide in Rwanda that saw 800,000 ethnic Tutsi killed by Hutu fighters. Three decades on, mass graves are still being discovered. With shovels and garden hoes, villagers are digging where a house once stood in Rwanda to reveal a mass grave filled with bones. Skulls, teeth and other shards of bone are placed carefully into plastic bags while shoes and tattered clothing – possible clues to identify loved ones never found – are collected elsewhere. Discoveries of mass graves are remarkably frequent even three decades after the 1994 slaughter instigated by the Hutu extremist regime in Rwanda at the time.
