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.

First, the BBC World Service has many different ways to get in touch or to listen to it. It broadcasts in 28 languages, online, on the shortwaves, and on the radio.

Most Tutsi's weren't able to escape the country, but there were probably 200,000-300,000 Tutsi refugees, however after the resurgence of the Tutsi rebels over 2 million Hutus (the group doing the killing) fled into the Democratic Republic of the Congo fearing retaliation.

The Tutsi had some power in Rwanda when in 1963, a Tutsi prime minister was chosen by the monarch. However, in later years, there was a Rwandan civil war which resulted in the death of many of the Tutsi people.

Yes, there is a very good film about the Rwandan genocide, called Hotel Rwanda.
