    1. Rwandan Genocide

    3. Life in Rwanda Rwanda had a law that forced people to register as a Hutu or Tutsi. The Hutu’s began to create Tutsi hatred but the two ethnic groups had long been interacting together. (ex. They went to school together, married, worked together, etc)

    4. Leading up to the Genocide The Hutu led government planned the Genocide for several years prior to 1994. The government did fear that the army was too integrated to Hutu and Tutsi and so they created a “civilian self-defense force.” This was a group of Hutu’s that carried out the Genocide.

    5. Beginning of horror On April 6, the plane carrying President Habyarimana was shot down. The cause was never determined. (some say it was a set-up by Hutu’s to justify the Genocide others say that the Tutsi’s did it in order stand up to the government) The Genocide begin soon after this.

    6. "If the pictures of tens of thousands of human bodies being gnawed on by dogs do not wake us out of our apathy, I do not know what will." Undersecretary-General of the United Nations Kofi Annan in 1994
