The Rwandan genocide, which occurred in 1994, involved the systematic mass killing of Tutsi people by Hutu extremists. While not all Hutus participated in or supported the genocide, the violence was largely driven by extremist factions within the Hutu population, promoting hatred and inciting violence against Tutsis. This tragic event highlighted the devastating consequences of ethnic hatred and conflict. It's essential to recognize the complexity of individual actions within the broader context of societal dynamics during that time.
The Hutus.
During the Rwandan Genocide, over 900,00 tutsis were killed by the hutus with machetes.
The Hutus and Tutsis.
Ethnic conflicts caused the genocide in that the hutus scapegoated the minority of tutsis with all the issues of the Rwandan state.
In the Rwandan genocide it was mainly the Hutus who did most of the killings.
The 2 groups involved in it were the Hutus and Tutsis.

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.

They were not involved in the Rwandan genocide.
The Rwandan genocide occured because the Hutus, the most dominant ethnic group in Rwanda at the time, began persecuting Tutsis, blaming political & economic hardship on them; it was basically because of racism.
