What is a summary of about rwandan genocide?
The Rwandan Genocide was the 1994 mass murder of an estimated 800,000 people in the small East African nation of Rwanda. It happened over the course of approximately 100 days and started with the assassination of Juvénal Habyarimana on April 6. It was the culmination of longstanding ethnic competition and tensions between the minority Tutsi, who had controlled power for centuries, and the majority Hutu peoples, who had come to power in the rebellion of 1959-1962 and overthrown the Tutsi monarchy.
How was rwandan genocide resolved?
Rwanda, while under Dutch control, was an established colonial state. A minority group, the "Tutsis", were given special status and privileges over the majority ethnic group, the "Hutus", by the Dutch colonial powers in exchange for collaboration. Many Tutsis abused their position and repressed the Hutus. After Rwanda gained independence, the Hutu government began a program to oppress the Tutsis, some of whom began a rebellion against the Hutus. After the moderate vice-president of Rwanda was killed by the Rebels, radical Hutus incited a massive country-wide mob to begin the ethnic cleansing of the Tutsis. This is known as the "Rwandan Genocide", which eventually prompted UN intervention, although not until the end of the genocide.

This created conflict.
