in 1959, the hutus overthrew the tutsi monarchy.tutsi exiles formed a rebel group, the rwandan patriotic front, the rpf, which invaded rwanda in 1990. fighting continued for three years until a peace deal was agreed. when the president's plane crashed, hutu extremists blamed the rpf and started an organised campaign of slaughter. and who lived or died was based on their ethnic identity. injust 100 days, about 800,000 people were killed. civilians and some of those involved in the genocide fled across the border into the democratic republic of congo, then known as zaire. others went to neighbouring tanzania and burundi. human rights groups say rpf fighters killed thousands of hutu civilians as they took back power. the rwandan government has said... distant gunfire. i remember being in a state of shock as i was forced to leave my home and search for safety. and as we rwandans feared for our lives, the world looked on in horror. this is the catholic church in nyamata, where hundreds of people were killed. i met with two people who wer

and moderate hutus as well. april 1994 and for the next 100 days were triggered by the downing of the plane of the then president habyarimana, over kigali, who was hutu. therefore, we had the hutu forces doing the rampage across rwanda, and the tutsu forces which were led by paul kagame, then went on to take over the country within100 days and ended that massacre. there has been a lot of reflection on what the international community could have done better. un peacekeepers had just been downsized in the country and they stood by and watched as this slaughter was going on. and therefore, today has been a moment to reflect on that, to reflect on what happened in 1994. the un secretary—general said that we must never forget, the world must never forget that, and it must never be repeated anywhere. and now that acknowledgement from france, a very significant step towards the recovery of rwanda as a country. earlier we spoke to linda melvern, an investigative journalist whose extensive archive of documents on the pla
