1. What factors led to the genocide in Rwanda in 1994?

2. What was the time frame of the 1994 genocide and how many people died?

3. What were some of the after effects of the genocide?


The genocide sparked cause their president died. The people died was the Tutsis and they was killed by the Hutus. A lot of people was killed and slaughter. Most of the people that died was in Rwanda.


The year when genocide happened was April 6 1994. About 800,000 people died in Rwanda. And many people Fled to the same state Zaire. So they wouldn't go to jail or be imprisoned by the police.


The aftermath, the government collapsed and Kigali was captured.''As soon as it became apparent that the RPF was victorious, an estimated two million Hutus fled to Zaire''. Some years later the same thing happened again in Zaire. I think that was the most dangerous war in Africa.
