The Rwanda Genocide occurred in 1994, lasting approximately 100 days, during which an estimated 800,000 people were killed. The violence primarily targeted the Tutsi ethnic group by the Hutu majority, fueled by longstanding ethnic tensions and political conflict. The genocide was marked by extreme brutality, including mass killings and sexual violence. The international community largely failed to intervene, despite warnings and evidence of the escalating violence. In the aftermath, Rwanda has made significant efforts toward reconciliation and rebuilding, focusing on unity and economic development.
