The Rwanda Genocide occurred in 1994, primarily between April and July of that year. This tragic event led to the massacre of approximately 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus within a span of about 100 days. The genocide was rooted in longstanding ethnic tensions between the Hutu majority and the Tutsi minority, exacerbated by colonial legacies and political strife. It drew global attention and criticism for the lack of timely intervention from the international community, highlighting the consequences of inaction in the face of humanitarian crises. The genocide remains a painful chapter in Rwanda's history and a stark reminder of the potential consequences of ethnic hatred.
