New page

The [[Rwanda genocide]] was genocide that occurred in Rwanda in 1994. It is generally considered to have lasted from 7 April to 15 July 1994.

The exact scale of the genocide is not known. Rwanda officially estimates the death toll at one million while Western academics claim a figure of 500,000-600,000. What is clear though is that the overwhelming majority of deaths were of men and boys.

It is well documented that large numbers of women were active participants in the genocide, in which they killed men, woman and children. Many commentators claim this was unusual but a review of history demonstrates that it was infact entirely typical.
