In 1994 there was a genocide in Rwanda and many were killed the Rwandan government denies these claims. The major amounts of the murder were preformed but militias who were Hutu extremists. It all started when Juvenile H. the first Hutu president was killed. The Hutus thought it was a work of the more powerful but minority Tutsis.

After the debate I had a much better understanding of what role each group played. If I didn't know about the MRND's role my group the Interahamwe would have never been able to defend ourselves. When we were able to defend ourselves we could redirect questions to other groups and get the focus off of us. This is a good way to get a better understanding on stories and situations that we are learning.
