The Rwandan genocide, which occurred in 1994, was a brutal and devastating event that resulted in the deaths of approximately 800,000 people, mostly from the Tutsi ethnic group. The genocide was sparked by the assassination of Rwandan President Juvénal Habyarimana, a Hutu, and was fueled by long-standing ethnic tensions between the Hutu and Tutsi populations. The Hutu extremist militia, known as the Interahamwe, began systematically targeting and killing Tutsis and moderate Hutus, leading to one of the worst humanitarian crises of the 20th century.
