On this day in 1994, civil war erupted in the east African nation of Rwanda.  For the next 100 days, the Hutu extremists who controlled the country brutally murdered an estimated 500,000 to 1 million civilian Tutsis and moderate Hutus in what has been labeled as the worst episode of ethnic genocide since World War II.

To learn more about the Rwandan Genocide, try the following resources:
  • Ghosts of Rwanda (PBS)
  • Hutu - Tutsi Conflict (CNN)
  • Rwanda: How the Genocide Happened (BBC)
  • Rwanda: The Wake of Genocide
  • The Triumph of Evil (PBS)
  • Voices of Rwanda
