Rwandan Genocide The systematic slaughter of 800,000 Rwandans in 100 days—deemed ethnic cleansing Interahamwe and the Impuzamugambi—two extremists in the Hutu Tribe UN slow to respond

Establishing History Two Tribes: Hutus Tutsis Belgium colonized Rwanda in Africa (1916-1962) Separated Tribes—forced them to wear I.D. Cards Placed Tutsis in charge

Separation Hutus were given lower positions for jobs Tutsis praised and given high acclaim in jobs and educational opportunities Dissidence among the two tribes

Riots Broke Out Resentment among Hutus in 1959 Killing 20,000 Tutsis Refugees fled to neighboring countries Hutus gained control of country in 1962 when Belgium gave Rwanda independence; Tutsis scapegoated

Peace Offerings Declined President Juvenal Habyarimana attempted to unite all Rwandans Hutus rejected RPF mobilized refugees in neighboring countries to rebel against Hutu majority

Tearing the Fabric of Society RPF (Rwandan Patriotic Front—Tutsi rebels) began to attack—wanted to return to their homeland President Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda (a Hutu) claimed harshly of Tutsi attempt to take over the country—needed Hutu support

Formulating a Plan Rwandan Armed Forces were used by the Hutus Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM) promoted hate speech to rally reluctant Hutus

President Assassinated Plane shot down in April of 1994 Immediately, presidential guard killed leaders of opposing group (Tutsis) and any moderate Hutu

Dangerous Men Interahamwe (meaning those who attack together) was established—exterminate the Tutsis Approximately, 30,000 participated

Aftermath RPF victorious UN steps in to provide aid and help establish order Approximately, 2mill. Hutus fled to Zaire (Republic of the Congo) July 19th—multiethnic government formed
