The Rwandan experience, particularl

The Rwandan experience, particularly between April 6 and July 10, 1994, is undeniably genocide as it boasted of all the internationally recognized characteristics of genocide. The carnage it recorded in one hundred days against the Tutsi was unprecedented. It was systematically planned over four decades, waiting for the right trigger for its execution. At slight opportunities during those 40 years murders were committed against the Tutsi, but not at genocidal magnitude. Indeed, to deny the Rwandan genocide is to deny that the almost one million people who perished in the 1994 Rwanda genocide ever existed. This would be a clear distortion of history.
