- 7th April, 1994 - Over N800, 000 death in 100 days, Rwandan genocide begins with the Massacres of Tutsis in Kigali, Rwanda.
The Rwandan genocide, also known as the genocide against the Tutsi, occurred between 7th April and 15th July, 1994, During this period of around 100 days, members of the Tutsi minority ethnic group, as well as some moderate Hutu and Twa, were killed by armed Hutu militias.
The Rwandan Civil War began in 1990 when the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), a rebel group composed mostly of Tutsi refugees, invaded Rwanda from Uganda. The RPF sought to overthrow the government, which was dominated by the Hutu ethnic group, and to end discrimination against the Tutsi minority for the next three years, neither side was able to gain a decisive advantage.
On 4th August 1993, the Rwandan government led by Hutu president, Juvénal Habyarimana signed the Arusha Accords, a peace accord with the Rwandan Patriotic Front which doused the war but on the, 6th April, 1994 the assassination of the Rwandan President, Juvénal Habyarimana, a hutu set in motion the Rwandan genocide.
Although the Constitution of Rwanda states that more than 1 million people perished in the genocide, the actual number of fatalities is unclear, and some estimates suggest that the real number killed was likely lower. The most widely accepted scholarly estimates are around 500,000 to 800,000 Tutsi, Hutus and Twas deaths.
It is one of the bloodiest events of the late 20th century.
