Genocide

Between April and June 1994 for only 100 days appx. 800,000 Rwandans were killed. The two ethnic groups, the Hutus and the Tutsis were involved in the mass genocide. The Hutu extremists attempted to carry out their plan to wipe out the entire Tutsi population.Basically among the killed were : Any Hutu moderate, suspected Tutsi, and Tutsi was systematically murdered. These killings took place in homes and even while Tutsis tried to flee.

Surviving the Pol Pot genocide was next to impossible. Once a group was rounded none of them was ever released. After torture and interrogation, sometimes stretching over several months, all of these men, women and children were brutally put to death. The Khmer Rouge in retreat had some help from American relief agencies - 20,000 to 40,000 guerrillas who reached Thailand received food aid -and the West also ensured that the Khmer Rouge (rather than the Vietnam-backed communist government) held on to Cambodia's seat in the United Nations: the Cold War continued to dictate what allegiances and priorities were made.

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.

In 100 days ,an estimated 800,000 people were killed in the Rwanda genocide.

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.)

The Sharpeville Massacre, also known as the Sharpeville shootings, occurred on 21 March 1960, when South African police opened fire on a crowd of black protesters, killing 69 people. The confrontation occurred in the township of Sharpeville, in what is now Gauteng province.

He targeted basically anyone he thought who might ever be a threat to him, politically or otherwise. He didn't do the targeting himself, apart from people directly around him - which included practically everyone who had been in any way prominent at the start of the Communist revolution. Beria, chief of the Secret Police supplied him with long lists of 'unreliable' people on which Stalin simply wrote "Kill them all".

Local party leaders all over the USSR were also supposed to earmark 'enemies of the Revolution' in their provinces for liquidation. Any lack of zeal on their part would make them suspect themselves, so everyone came up with long lists of mostly innocent people, plus some personal enemies and competitors of the local Governors. In most cases it was enough to be formerly middle class or a 'kulak', a prosperous farmer to get on the lists.

There are many reasons why. First , It happened because Governor James Stirling had a colony called The Swan Settlement and Pinjarra more fertile land than the one in Swan Settlement. Also he wanted revenge of the death of Nesbitt which was killed by one of the Aborigines from the Pinjarra Tribe ( Binjareb Tribe)

It could be someone important to someone else in another part of the world.

First off, the genocide is not over, it is still going on, mainly in the region of Darfur. Ever since Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, armed the Janjaweed (Arab militias) in 2003, the violence has escalated, since the government can not control these rampaging murderers and rapists. The Janjaweed cooperates with the government in the complete and utter destruction of villages, more often than not those of African farmers. Since Sudan has often been plagued by droughts that led to famine, the country desperately needs every ounce of food it can get. The murder and destruction does nothing to help this. Also, the refugees forced to flee their homes to live in camps often collect firewood in order to make money and to survive, but due to frequent Janjaweed attacks, many of them have been raped repeatedly. The men don't dare leave the camp, for fear of being murdered or castrated. Economically speaking, the genocide is doing absolutely nothing good for the country, and it will continue to harm, it so long as countries like the USA. do nothing to help the victims.

It was the culmination, largely influenced by the Belqen colonization which favored the Tutsi minority group because of their more "European" appearance, 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.

When Dr. Marcus Whitman and Narcissa Prentiss Whitman set out to Oregon territory for a mission for the American Missionary Board, the Cayuse natives attack them and many other white settlers and missionaries. However, the settlers brought measles with them, and whenever Dr. Whitman gave medicine to the natives, they fell ill and died.

Genocide

Juvénal Habyarimana was a dictatorial leader of the Republic of Rwanda who death in 1994 sparked the genocide. Cyprien Ntaryamira, President of Burundi also died in the plane crash.

The Cambodian genocide is not a proper genocide, but rather a democide, where the government kills citizens irrespective of their race, religion, or other defining aspect. However, since the democide resulated from the creation of massive rice paddies and unrealistic quotas, the first to die en masse were usually educated people from the cities. Additionally, the political dissidents who opposed this plan were also educated. Therefore the educated, city elites were most devastatingly hit as a group, but it was not "intended" that way. hundreds of thousands of very poor Cambodians also were tortured and murdered. Also, Khmer (the dominant ethnic group in Cambodia) were just as often targeted (per capita) as ethnic minorities.

There were certainly many Rwandans who disagreed with what the Hutus did, and they wanted to oppose it, but it would have meant sacrificing their own lives in trying to stop a genocide which could not be stopped. People who think such a genocide would not be allowed in their own country should take a close look at the Rawandan massacres, and ask themselves what they would have done differently.

He was famous for killing over two million people. By starting collective farms.

Politique potentielle. He was given that nickname by the Chinese authorities.

However his real name was Saloth Sar.

Only about 900,000 Armenians survived the Armenian Genocide.

The Nazis had to reatreat in 1969. Put Nazi leaders on trial in U.S. federal court. A

Genocide comes from ancient times. To the modern persons this perception largely stems from the terrible events which took place during World War Two. The word itself was first coined in 1944 CE by the Polish writer Raphael Lemkin who constructed the word by combining 'geno-', from the Greek word for race or tribe, with '-cide', from the Latin word for killing.

well there is always the animal genocide that occurs everyday.

Well, some think that the genocide in Rwanda is still happening though down in their hearts/thoughts it is. i am saying that genocide in Rwanda is not happening... though its kind of confusing but it's not. :)
