The Rwanda Genocide occurred in the 1990s in the country of Rwanda located in central East Africa. Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation. This genocide involved three ethnic groups, the Hutu who represented approximately 85% of the population, the Tutsi who represented approximately 14% of the population, and the Twa who represented approximately 1% of the population. The total population of Rwanda in 1994 was ¬¬¬¬¬________people. In the 1990s, Habyarimana was the president at the time and belonged to the Hutu ethnic group. This group increased the division between the Hutu and Tutsi groups. At this time, Hutus blamed the entire Tutsi minority population for the country's social, economic, and political problems. Responsibility for the genocide in Rwanda cannot be attributed to anyone without looking at the history between these two tribes; it is arguably the most unique genocide of the 20th century, purely because the UN and neighboring countries could have saved and helped many people. During the genocide, Hutu feared the minority remembering the past years of unjust rule by the government. Tutsis. On April 6, 1994, Habyarimana's plane was shot down. The violence then began immediately afterwards. The Hutus sent planes to kill the Tutsis. Many political leaders and other prominent opponents of the Tutsi were killed instantly. The Tutsis tried to flee but roadblocks were set up across the country. Many families were killed at the same time. Women were beaten and raped. Around 200,000 people took part in these attacks. Just a few weeks after the start of the genocide, 800,000 men, women and children were killed in the middle of the newspaper......50,000 deaths were expected and General Dallaire was surprised at the poor judgment of the UN. The media during the genocide in Rwanda was very beneficial to the Hutu group, and not so much to the Tutsi group. Before the genocide, the Hutus used many forms of radio and newspapers to dehumanize the Tutsi group to ensure that the killings were successful. The Rwandan genocide caused the deaths of more than 800,000 innocent people. If the UN and neighboring countries had stepped up and helped, many people's lives could have been saved. Even by cutting off the radio network with hateful messages, many murders could have been avoided. It was a great learning lesson not only for Rwanda, but also for many countries as well as the UN, who do not underestimate the situations. This is why the genocide in Rwanda was a very unique genocide in the 19th century..
