User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Rwandan Genocide was the 1994 mass murder of an estimated 800,000 people in the small East African nation of Rwanda. It happened over the course of approximately 100 days and started with the assassination of Juvénal Habyarimana on April 6. It was the culmination 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.

Who were the victims and who were the attackers in the Rwanda Genocide?

User Avatar

Asked by Santanalee15

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.

Asked by Wiki User

the war was started when a plane was shot down.the president of rwanda and the president of burundi were in that plane.....the president of rwanda was the guy who kept order there.rwanda is the state the hutus and tutsis occupy. so when there was no one in control the tutsis took over and ran the state for awhile.and the hutus didnt like it.so it is basically a war for control over the state.
