How was the conflict in Rwanda similar to the conflict in Darfur?

The conflicts in Rwanda and Darfur both involved ethnic tensions leading to mass violence and genocide. In Rwanda, the Hutu-led government targeted the Tutsi minority, resulting in the 1994 genocide where an estimated 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed. Similarly, in Darfur, the Sudanese government and allied militia targeted non-Arab ethnic groups, leading to widespread atrocities and displacement since 2003. Both conflicts were marked by international inaction and highlighted the devastating consequences of ethnic hatred and politicized violence.
