During April and June 1994, the Rwandan genocide took place over a period of 100 days. Mostly Tutsis were killed, although a Hutu who refused to kill a Tutsi (that could be part of his own family, like in Hotel Rwanda) was usually killed on the spot. The number of people massacred is generally accepted to be 800,000, although every organization has its own estimate.

The genocide was planned by members of the core political elite known as the akazu, many of whom occupied positions at top levels of the national government. Perpetrators came from the ranks of the Rwandan army, the National Police (gendarmerie), government-backed militias including the Interahamwe and Impuzamugambi, and the Hutu civilian population.

The genocide took place in the context of the Rwandan Civil War, an ongoing conflict beginning in 1990 between the Hutu-led government and the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), which was largely composed of Tutsi refugees whose families had fled to Uganda following earlier waves of Hutu violence against the Tutsi. Most of the dead were Tutsis and most of those who perpetrated the violence were Hutus. The genocide was sparked by the death of the Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, when his plane was shot down above Kigali airport on 6 April 1994.

Why did genocide end in Rwanda and who ended it explain?

First of all, genocide has never ended in Rwanda. For a few years after the Genocide of Rwanda, the U.N. only "tranquilized" the genocide. There is still genocide happening over in Rwanda still to this day. Anyone who has told you differently has not seen the news recently. The U.N. is to this day still trying to get rid of genocide for good. Actually this is incorrect. The genocide is not still happening in Rwanda. It started in April 1994 and ended in July 1994 and cost the lives of over 1 million people. I went to Kigali this summer which is the capital of Rwanda and experienced a very peaceful country. Anyone who believes it is still happening is lost and needs to research the genocide more clearly.
