	Rwandan Genocide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rwandan Genocide (French: Génocide au Rwanda) was the massacre of an estimated 800,000 to 1,071,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus in Rwanda, mostly carried out by two extremist Hutu militia groups, the Interahamwe and the Impuzamugambi, during a period of about 100 days from April 6th through mid-July 1994.
		The Rwandan Genocide stands out as significant, not only because of the sheer number of people massacred in such a short period of time, but also because of how inadequately the United Nations (particularly, its Western members such as the United States, France and the United Kingdom) responded.
		"Either you took part in the massacres or you were massacred yourself," said one Hutu, rationalizing an ambivalent mixture of regret, fear, and shame at being forced to kill Tutsis.

		Keane says, the West ''insured the comfort of the killers from places like Nyarubuye.'' But he offers no alternative to the effort to succor the refugees, masses of whom are seen moving in search of safety.

		These methodical massacres were only the amplification of killings at Kibirira nearly four years before, when killing had first been qualified as the public obligation of umuganda.
		Many of these massacres took place in communities where large numbers of Tutsi had been killed during the genocide, and then were carried out with the encouragement and direction of Tutsi survivors.
		None of the killers involved in these massacres have been brought to trial or condemned and several persons accused of the assassination of Ndadaye remain in high civilian and military positions in the current government.

		Although, the third tier government, that is, the local government administration that gave a semblance of psuedo- democracy in the state is still in place, observers believed that such could not be held as a weapon to defend the democratic institutions that suffered tremendously in the wake of the state of emergency.

		ARUSHA 28 January 2002 (Internews) Contrary to common belief, the "real" victims of the 1994 Rwandan tragedy were the ethnic Hutu, not the ethnic Tutsi, the first defense expert witness in the trial for genocide suspect Laurent Semanza, a former Rwandan mayor, today told the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) when the trial resumed.
		The expert witness added that "at the Nyarubuye church, it was not Tutsis who were killed by the Interahamwe militia and FAR (Rwanda Armed Forces) for ethnic reasons, they were old men, old women and children who were killed indiscriminately by those who wanted to seize power by force."
		According to Ndengejeho, the 1990 RPF invasion made some opposition parties align themselves to the RPF in the belief that the it was fighting for democracy and the return of the refugees.
