What is genocide? Think of definitions, words, ideas, questions that you have about this term.

Genocide: The deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, religious, political or cultural/ethnic group.

November 1993: the United Nations sent peacekeepers to this small African nation to support the framework of peace established following the country’s civil war.

Definitions Hutu: Majority community in Rwanda that had been second class citizens during colonialization, rose to power after independence. Tutsi: Rwanda’s largest minority who ruled, Belgian colonists favored them. Arusha Accords: Peace agreement after civil war (between Hutus & Tutsis) calling for a democratically elected government. Hutus feel marginalized ( ↓ social class).

Interahamwe: Youth militia of the Hutu extremists trained by organizers to carry out genocide. Rwandan Armed Forces (FAR): Army of the Hutu government. Joined in genocide after president’s plane was shot down. Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF): Tutsi led rebels that ended the genocide without any help from the international community.

Rwanda Genocide Timeline : Revolution - Hutu majority seizes power from the Tutsi minority (favored class under Belgians) 1990: RPF (Tutsi) starts civil war Aug: Rwandan government (Hutu) and RPF (Tutsi) sign cease-fire and Arusha Accords. Oct 3: Somalia & Blackhawk Down Oct 5: UN authorizes peacekeepers to help implement Arusha Accords

Nov (1993): 2500 UN troops deployed in Rwanda Jan 11: General Dallaire (UN in Rwanda) sends urgent message to UN headquarters outlining Hutu plans to exterminate Tutsis - he cannot move on this tip. Feb: Series of massacres/political assassinations occur in Kigali. Hutus prepare death lists, and amass machetes. April 6: Rwandan/Burundian Presidents killed. Genocide begins.

Apr 7: Hutu extremists set up roadblocks and go from house to house killing Tutsis and moderate Hutu politicians. Ten Belgian soldiers sent to guard the prime minister are tortured and killed along with the Prime Minister. Apr 8: RPF (Tutsi) reignite the civil war by trying to overthrow the Hutu government. Apr 21: UN withdraws all troops from Rwanda. Mid-May: Red Cross estimates 500,000 Rwandans are dead. Mid-July: RPF (Tutsi) capture Kigali and the genocide is over.
