Who was fighting during the genocide in Rwanda?
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.
The long time Somalian leader, Siad Barre, was forced to leave his position in 1991. His followers were very upset and took draconian measures to right the wrong they felt had been committed. This resulted in the attempted killing of Barre's opposers, who then reacted by gathering the common masses and the riot turned into the genocide of Somalia which is now a failed state ruled tenuously by war lords.

How many people died in the Armenian genocide?
It has been estimated that anywhere from 600,000 to 1.5 million Armenians died during the 1st world war.
___
The usual figure is about 1.2-1.5 million in the Turkish genocide of the Armenians. The above answer is deliberately misleading. For some reason, successive Turkish governments, Turkish nationalists and their friends just haven't got what it takes - even now, over eighty years after the event to face up to their past. They could learn a thing or two from the Germans and Austrians and earn respect by doing so. Instead they lie, lie and lie. Shameful!
----
The correct number can not be given yet as the genocide is not finished, a lot of Armenians still have to die to get the job done!
Was Andy Murray fired at by the dunblane massacre?
No. He was heading towards the gym when Hamilton opened fire. He ran with his brother, Jamie (Jamie was 10 at the time and Andy was 8) and hid under the desk in the headmasters office. He could have easily become one of the victims.

What was the classification in the genocide for Nepal?
Nothing, actually,as it was not a genocide per say. Yes, people were killed but it was not based on their race, religion or ethnicity. It does not follow the 8 steps of a genocide either.I live in Nepal and I think it is fair to say that all kinds of people were killed impartially by all kinds of people.However, the Maoists rebels were the main killers and they killed the non rebels so maybe that is the classification
Yes. The Tasmanian aborigines were killed off in the 19th century.
What was the name of the Hutu president during the Rwandan genocide?
Jevunal Habyarimana, a Hutu, was president that been killed in the plane crash. Few hours after his death, the civil war or Rwanda genocide started. During the genocide, there was not any president. The country was in deep civil war. Later after the situation calmed down and elections was held, Paul Kagame, a Tutsi, became the president.
Why isn't the government doing anything about genocide in Sudan?
If you refer to the U.S. government, we cannot nor do we have the right to interdict in the affairs of foreign sovereign governments. The United Nations was established to intercede in affairs of genocide or other human rights violations among other established agencies for human rights. We would have to have some form of invitation from their government to act against the genocide.

What are the pros and cons of genocide?
I have seen many people answer these questions saying that there are no pro's for genocide... but if that were the case, then why would people do it? Honestly, the person or group of people commiting the act must get something out of it, whether it be money or whatever. Maybe they gain control over land. Other times it may just be pure hatrid for another group.
The con's are really rather blatently obvious, what with all the destroction and the killing and dying etc.
So conclusively:
Con's--
-Killing/Murder
-Death of Innocents
-The ethics of the group committing the act
-[I'm sure you can think or more]
Pro's--
-It may wipe out a disease that spreads from that group
-The group may be a bad influence on the rest of the world
i.e they might be very violent and intrusive
-It could possibly put the country in a better place
-It may be condoneable if this group really can't support
themselves and are slowly and painfully dying out
Pol Pot (Saloth Sar ) and his Khmer Rouge are not very well regarded ; many former members (e.g. Kang Kek Iew) of the Khmer Rouge are currently on trial for "Crimes Against Humanity" - a fate that Pol Pot would have been subjected to had he not died in 1998 .

As it is in the words of that poignant poem by that noble bard of Africa, Monglane Wally Serote - it was a dry white season. It happened on the morning of June 16, 1976. Fifteen thousand schoolchildren gathered in Soweto, South Africa, to protest the Apartheid government's ruling that half of all classes in secondary school must be taught in Afrikaans. Prior pleadings and petitions by parents and teachers had been passed over. The students had assumed the deep groans of the ages, filtered them in their tender souls, and fashioned a passionate psalm of protest. It was the clamour of a generation that had refused to learn in the language of the oppressor. Ever so determined to march ahead, ever so resolved in saying in no uncertain terms that there would be normalcy-no more, they moved in a creative orbit, imparting light and heat to distant satellites. And like an idea whose time had come, not even the marching of mighty armies could stop them.
