Genocide
Where: Rwanda
When: From
April to July
1994What: Members of the Hutu ethnic majority in the east-central African nation of Rwanda murdered 800,000 people, mostly Tutsi
minority. The genocide spread throughout the country with staggering speed and brutality, as ordinary citizens were incited by local officials and the Hutu Power government to take up arms against their neighbors.
By
the time the Tutsi-led Rwandese Patriotic Front gained control of the country through a military offensive in early July, hundreds of thousands of Rwandans were dead and many more displaced from their homes.
The
RPF victory created 2 million more refugees (mainly Hutus) from Rwanda, exacerbating what had already become a full-blown humanitarian crisis.Slide14
