GENOCIDE

What is Genocide? Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or an ethnic,racial, religious, or national group. Rwanda was one of the country that went through this destructive discrimination among the tutsis and hutus. Between April and June in 1994 an estimated 800,000 Tutsis were killed by Hutus in just 100 days. The genocide was caused by the death of Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana a Hutu, when his plane was crush on April 6, 1994. The Hutus was convinced that it was the Tutsis that killed the president. Within hours, the Hutus were dispatched all over the country to carry out a wave of slaughter. Armed forces and law enforcement encouraged ordinary citizens to take part in this devastation murder. In some cases, the Hutu civilians were forced to murder their Tutsi neighbors by military personnel.Contributors were often given inducement, such as wealth or food, and some were even told they could appropriate the land of the Tutsis they killed. During the triadic war, 10 UN troops were murder and ask to withdrew.The day after Habyarimana's death, the RPF changed their attack on government forces, and several attempts by the UN to negotiate a ceasefire came to nothing. When the war ended About 500 Hutu who were contributed in the mass murder have been sentenced to death, and another 100,000 are still in prison. But some of the agitators have managed to avoid capture, and many who lost their loved ones are still waiting for justice.
