Genocide Commemoration Week Begins in Rwanda

Over a million people were killed within a hundred days in what has been termed the worst genocide in human history.

Thousands of mostly Hutu refugees fled across the border to Congo (then Zaire) in the face of the advancing Rwanda Patriotic Front, in the last days of the genocide. Among them were Rwandan soldiers and militamen who had taken part in the genocide.
