The Rwandan Genocide...Darkness in the history

The Rwandan Genocide was the 1994 mass killing of hundreds of thousands of Rwanda's Tutsis and Hutu political moderates by Hutus under the Hutu Power ideology. The genocide had its roots in the Hutu-Tutsi ethnic divide and related sporadic violence. Over the course of approximately 100 days, from the assassination of Juvénal Habyarimana on 6 April up until mid July, at least 500,000 people were killed. Most estimates indicate a death toll between 800,000 and 1,000,000. Below are a few pictures showing the consequences of this Genocide..

  1. true, very true, it was a very big injustice made to the weakest and already most helpless people in the world...we should not only relate these in justices that happen to people around the world but should try and put in our most valiant efforts into financially uplifting these poor and helpless people
