Question

What directly resulted from the death of rwanda's president habyarimana in 1994?

Answer 1

Following the death of Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana, a genocidal campaign agaisnt the ethnicity known as the Tutsi was sparked by the hands of the Hutu, another African ethnicity with a long history of stigma against the Tutsi. The campaign claimed the lives of around 800,000 Rwandans in the space of 100 days, where most of the victims were of Tutsi origin.

The Hutu started their attack on the pretext that the Tutsi were responsible for the death of President Habyarimana, given he is a Hutu.

Answer 2

The brutal genocide of almost a million Tutsis directly resulted from the death of Rwanda's president Habyarimana in 1994. To add, the Rwandan genocide, also known as the genocide against the Tutsi,was a genocidal mass slaughter of Tutsi in Rwanda by members of the Hutu majority government. An estimated more than 800,000 Rwandans were killed during the 100-day period from April 7 to mid-July 1994, constituting as many as 70% of the Tutsi population.
