  Rwandan Genocide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rwandan Genocide was the slaughter of an estimated 800,000 [1] to 1,000,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus, mostly carried out by two extremist Hutu militia groups, the Interahamwe and the Impuzamugambi, during a period of 100 days from April 6th through mid-July 1994.
For many, the Rwandan Genocide stands out as historically significant, not only because of the sheer number of people that were murdered in such a short period of time, but also because of the way that many Western countries responded to the atrocities.
The context of the 1994 Rwandan genocide continues to be an important matter of historical debate with charges of revisionism often made [7] [8].

 Genocide:Meaning and Definition
Genocide is generally considered one of the worst moral crimes a government (meaning any ruling authority, including that of a guerrilla group, a quasi state, a Soviet, a terrorist organization, or an occupation authority) can commit against its citizens or those it controls.
Regardless of war or peace, the motive for genocide may be to deal with a perceived threat to the government or its policies, to destroy those one hates or envies, to pursue the ideological transformation of society, to purify society, or to achieve economic or material gain.
"Genocide in the generic sense is the mass killing of substantial numbers of human beings, when not in the course of military forces of an avowed enemy, under conditions of the essential defenselessness and helplessness of the victims." (Israel W. Charny).

The use of the Rwandan media in propagating hate and coordinating violence was pivotal in the orchestration of the genocide, while the western media was important in facilitating international inaction.
In both, ethnicity was used as an important tool: to indoctrinate division and polarize the Hutu and Tutsi populations in the pursuit of political goals; and, in the western media, to explain the genocide while leaving historical, political, and economic factors unaddressed.
Because ethnicity is seen to be the primary reason for the genocide, it is important to recognize the true causes and motivations.
