The greatest events in Rwandan History

One of the greatest events in Rwanda's history is the Rwandan Genocide, which took place in 1994. More than 800,000 people from the Tutsi minority lost their lives in this genocide. The genocide was committed by members of the Hutu ethnic group. Behind this incident is the Hutu government's hostility and discrimination against the Tutsi minority. The genocide began with the spread of hate speech against the Tutsi through the media controlled by the Hutu government. Then, Hutu militants began to attack Tutsi civilians, and these attacks continued for 100 days. The Rwandan Genocide went down in history as an event to which the international community remained unresponsive. UNAMIR, the United Nations peacekeeping force, acted inadequately during the genocide. At the end of the genocide, the Rwandan Revolutionary Front (RPF), Tutsi guerrillas, took control of the government and a new era began. The Rwandan Genocide is considered one of the most terrible and painful events in history and still affects Rwanda's past. The trauma and social division created by the genocide have been an important problem in the process of restructuring the country. Rwanda experienced a long period of recovery and peace after this incident.
