Introduction to the Rwanda Genocide

The Rwanda Genocide in 1994 has been described as the "most rapid extermination campaign of the twentieth century".

Extremist Hutu's blamed the Tutsi population for the social, economical and political pressures which affected the vast majority of the Rwandan population.

The assassination of President Habyrimana on April 6th 1994 provided the catalyst for the mass murder of 800,000 men, women and children who were predominantly Tutsi's and less strict Hutus over a period of 100 days.
