In fact, very few of those murdered were shot. This was a situation where low-tech methods of killing were used; the most common weapon was the machete. They purchased thousands of machetes very cheaply from China. Another common weapon was a club studded with spikes/nails. Regardless of the "low-tech" nature of the genocide, it was incredibly lethal with a daily average of 10,000 dead.

∙ 9y agoThe 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.
What did the world do for rwandan genocide?

What is the Interhamwey in Rwanda?
The interhamwey was a group of Hutus. After the Hutu's got power back after almost a century of oppression under the Tutsi minority, The Interhamwey formed and acted to eliminate all Tutsis. The Interhamwey was responsible for most of the deaths that occurred during the Rwandan Genocide.
Who won the rwandan genocide?
The Rwandan genocide was not really a war, since the aim of this genocide and any genocide is to exterminate a certain group of people. In the Rwandan genocide the aim was to kill all the Tutsis. Fortunately not all the Tutsis were killed in this genocide, but hundreds of thousands were and Rwanda still has to bear the scar of what happened during that horrible time to this day, so nobody won the genocide, everybody just lost.
Who was involved in genocide Rwanda?
Belgium colonists in 1916 identified Tutsis the minority of the region, them being richer in general, having cattle, thus being superior, and had it better under Belgium rule, Hutus resented this. France supported the Hutus during the genocide and when things got bad they evacuated only the white people. China provided the Hutus with machetes. The US really was apathetic. The UN backed out, they wanted to evacuate all the peacekeepers and evacuated many, they promised to send in troops but that didn't happen until after the genocide.
Why did the world ignore the Armenian genocide?
not all of the world ignored the Armenian genocide, infact there are many countries who believe the Armenian genocide happened (which is great) only some of the major countries (like U.S.A) stilll don't believe that the genocide happened, because Turkey is one of the major countries of the world and America is friends with them, so i guess that's why they ignored the Armenian genocide, plus, people are saying " It happened already! Why do we have to care about something that happened in 1915?!" Well, I'll tell you why, this genocide led to many genocides that were influenced by the Ottoman Empire, Like the Jewish Genocide, and Darfur, And Rwanda. It's all about power, and Turkey is powerful.
What countries have been accused of genocide?
he only country or region in Africa where genocide is still going on is Darfur, Sudan. Rwanda had there's in 1994 and has since stopped, so I don't know where you are getting your sources from. No other African country is going through genocide except Sudan, particularly Dar-Fur but if you mean civil war then you can include Sudan, and add countries like Somalia, democratic republic of Congo, Burundi, but that's it. When it comes to genocide though only one country fits into that, so there is no wide spread genocide going on in all countries in Africa.
How did the aggressors of the Armenian Genocide feel about their roles?
The Turkish have mixed emotions about the Armenian Genocide and will never admit to it being a genocide because in their view, it was not. They see the term genocide meaning "an active and intentional extermination of another people" similar to the situation in the Holocaust and in Rwanda. The Armenian Genocide was a forced exodus with all of the brutality of the Trail of Tears in the United States or the Attack of Smyrna and Thrace and the Greco-Turkish Wars of the Early 1900s. Most Turks feel badly over the Armenian deaths, but this is often-times covered over by the anger and resentment over Armenia defining its foreign policy by making other nations accept only its idea of what happened to them and not dealing with a "balanced inquiry". (Whether such an inquiry is warranted objectively, is questionable.)
How has Roman Catholicism affected Rwanda?
Although the genocide of 1994, in which an estimated 800,000 people were killed, was the result of ethnic rather than religious tensions, it did have a religious component. The Roman Catholic authorities in Rwanda certainly failed to condemn the genocide at the time, and some in the Church's hierarchy have been tried and convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, as a result of their participation. Kevin Ward (''A World History of Christianity'', Africa) says, "The Church's witness in Africa, in common with all places and times, is rarely unambiguous." From a lay point of view, the arrival of Christianity did not help prevent the massacre: Ward points out that most of the perpetrators must have been baptised and have had a Christian upbringing.
