In Chapter 6, Philpot discusses the April 6th 1994 assassinations of two African presidents, Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda and Cyprien Ntaryamira of Burundi, looking at how these assassinations were addressed as well as how the international community refused to conduct an investigation into them. Philpot scrutinizes the treatments of these assassinations, drawing comparisons to how political assassinations have been handled in the West. He also looks at the consequences that this lack of action had on the region; this region fell into crisis.
