Many Tutsi and those Hutu associated with them fought to save their lives. We know of their heroic resistance, usually armed only with sticks and stones, at such places as the hills of Bisesero, the swamps of Bugesera, and the church at Cyahinda, but we have no way of knowing about the countless small encounters where targeted people struggled to defend themselves and their families in their homes, on dusty paths, and in the fields of sorghum.
Some tens of thousands fled to neighboring countries and others hid within Rwanda, in the ceilings of houses, in holes in the ground, in the forest, in the swamps. Some bought their lives once, others paid repeatedly for their safety over a period of weeks, either with money or with sexual services.
Many Tutsi who are alive survived because of the action of Hutu, whether a single act of courage from a stranger or the delivery of food and protection over many weeks by friends or family members.

Did the Czech Republic respond to the Rwandan genocide?
Hi there! Yes, the Czech Republic did respond. The Czech Republic responded to the Rwandan genocide by being one of the first countries to call it an actual genocide. Many other countries were cautious to call it a genocide because that implied that they had to punish Rwanda (these countries being: the UK, US, etc). The Czech Republic suggested that Rwanda should split in half (the Hutu in one side and the Tutsi in the other). They suggested this because they had done this themselves earlier in 1993 when they "divorced" Slovakia (used to be Czechoslovakia, remember? :) ). The Czech Republic was furious that the countries in the Security Council were not responding quickly to the issue and were dilly-dallying there time. It was unacceptable to the new country. Hope this helps! This is based on my Model UN experience! :D
