"In 1994 civilian violence in the East African nation of Rwanda claimed the lives of an estimated 800,000 people. Known as the Rwandan genocide, this event resulted from decades of internal strife between Rwanda's two main ethnic groups, the Hutus and the Tutsis. Though the bloodshed followed the assassination of Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana on April 6, 1994, the nation's internal conflict was rooted in its colonial and early postcolonial history." - Gale Student Resources in Context, 2012 |
