- In just 100 days in 1994, about 800,000 people were slaughtered in Rwanda by ethnic Hutu extremists.
They were targeting members of the minority Tutsi community, as well as their political opponents.
But how did the genocide start, and what is it like in Rwanda now?
BBC Africa's Victoria Uwonkunda explains.

I'm Cambodian and i feel the pain, i was born on the killing fields during the Cambodian genocide . Quarter of our population slaughtered and died from malnutrition and hunger
about 1 slaugtered every 10 - 15 seconds, continously for 100 days.
Not even animals are so ruthless and harmful to the extent humans have become.
I just watched Hotel Rwanda and It made me angry because shit like that is still happening today
Kigali has been turned into a clean and well ordered city when I visited, but vestiges of genocide could still be felt, such as detention camps, and people lacking their some body parts.
I traveled to Rwanda in 2016. I visited Kigali, Rwesero and Gisenyi. It's a beautiful country!! The pain is still palpable and prevalent. Prayers up for more open dialogue in the country about the horror that took place Spring '94 and how the seeds truly were planted for tribe vs tribe. Europeans in Africa have historically been poison; it would have been nice if this video touched on the influence Belguims in Rwanda as it relates to the genocide.
My mom has no parents because of this they slaughtered them when she was 2 and she don’t even remember what they look like
Why couldn’t people see through the lies??? Killing people did nothing. So sad that people are idiots. The most horrible thing ...the children that died
Absolutely tragic. God rest the souls of the victims. I don't know how the country was able to recover.
Read "Left to Tell" by Immaculee Ilibagiza, a Tutsi survivor of the genocide, in which most of her family was killed. Very powerful book. I got to hear her speak, met her and talked with her. Her story is very inspiring.
Very informative, thank you for the video Leyla.
I watched a movie about it, it was horrible, I couldn't stop crying, so much deaths, children, adolescents, grow-ups, babies, they were killing everybody.
Its chilling knowing that who ever launched that missile is still out there. They're responsible for the death of thousands.
The world should be ashamed of it self,for not stopping this
Wow thanks for the clarity 🙏🏾
One of the sad moment in Africa.
I cried watch this video. How come i never know about this after all this time.
Thank you very much Victoria!!! Great video
it's happening in Ethiopia now people are being arrested and in some places killed just because they are different groups.sad
