The "Genocide Against the Tutsi" refers to the mass slaughter of the Tutsi ethnic group in Rwanda during a 100-day period from April to July 1994. This tragic event was fueled by longstanding ethnic tensions between the Hutu and Tutsi populations. An estimated 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu were killed by extremist Hutu militias and government forces. The genocide was marked by extreme violence, including mass killings, sexual violence, and the use of machetes. The international community largely failed to intervene, despite warnings and evidence of the atrocities. The aftermath led to significant political and social changes in Rwanda, as well as ongoing discussions about justice and reconciliation.
