Answer:

Rwanda.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speech was given during the President´s tour in Africa. He was referring to the Rwandan genocide, also known as the genocide against the Tutsi. It was a mass slaughter of the Tutsi tribe in that country between 7 April and 15 July of 1994 during the civil war.

The genocide was organized by the Hutu political elite according to some historians for at least a year before it took place. The victims estimated of the genocide are between 500,000 and 1,000,000, about 70% of the Tutsi population. The scale and brutality of the massacre caused shock worldwide.

Clinton gave that speech because he considered that as one of his main foreign policy failings.

I hope this answer helps you.
