Rwanda+Genocide

The result of building tensions and a failure to fix racial issues the Rwandan Genocide occured in 1994 and lasted six months. The trigger was the death of thet current president Habryamana. During that time the government was in disaray and chaos reigned. A reported number of 800,000 has been reported but in truth it is estimated to have killed roughly one million people, a tenth of the population. Those who escaped fled to neighbooring countries for safety from the genocide.

Each day mass murders were conducted. The hutus were driven through orders on the radio but were not actually organized. Hutu rebells had neighbors kill each others and left the dead bodies through the streets. Due to the chaos many tutsis hid in churches or hospitals however often their hiding place was revealed over the radio resulting in some of the worst massacres to occur in the safest places. Day after day more tutsis and moderate hutus were killed.

Finally the other countries interviened stopping the genocide. Along with the RPF order was restored. However the thousands of refugees who wanted to return were homeless and many lost any and all possessions. Currently the economy has been restored and a tutsi leader reigns but there are still hutu militants in neighboring countries ready to start again.
