Apr 08, 1994 - Burundi, Rwanda - Woman drenched in blood from neck wound from machete blow as Rwandan Tutsi refugees flee across the border into Burundi in April 1994 as the Hutus commited genocide in a 100 day civil war. The Rwandan Genocide was the 1994 mass murder of an estimated 800, 000 people in the small East African nation of Rwanda. Over the course of approximately 100 days from the assassination of Habyarimana on April 6 through mid-July, over 500, 000 people were killed. It was the culmination of longstanding ethnic competition and tensions between the minority Tutsi, who had controlled power for centuries, and the majority Hutu peoples, who had come to power in the rebellion of 1959Ð1962 and overthrown the Tutsi monarchy.
