The mass killings in Rwanda and Burundi during the mid-1990s were primarily driven by ethnic tensions between the Hutu and Tutsi populations. The assassination of Rwandan President Juvénal Habyarimana in April 1994 served as a catalyst for the genocide, as extremist Hutu factions incited violence against Tutsis, leading to widespread massacres. Longstanding historical grievances, political power struggles, and Propaganda further exacerbated the conflict, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 800,000 people in just a few months.
