Yugoslavia was a multinational state created after WWI. People who live there: Serbs (Orthodox Christians), Croats (Catholics) and Albanians (Muslims). After fall of communism created their own nations: Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia- Herzegovina and Macedonia.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina Serbs tried to remove non- Serbs by force. Bosnians became refugees. Many others brutalized or killed. Policy of ethnic cleansing.

Yugoslav President Milosevic (a Serb) used army to prevent non-Serbs from breaking away from Yugoslavia. Supported ethnic cleansing. Sent troops against Albanians in Kosovo who demanded self rule.

continued Rwanda granted independence. Hutus took their place. Tutsis used as a scapegoat in every crisis.

Building Up To Genocide Tutsi refugees formed Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF). RPF goal- overthrow the government and return to their homeland. April 1994 President Habyarimana’s plane was shot down. Presidential guard began a campaign of retribution. Slaughter of Tutsis began.

Aftermath July 1995 RPF captured the capital. The government collapsed and RPF declared a ceasefire. A multiethnic government has been formed and all refugees are free to return to Rwanda.
