Dig into the history of the Rwandan Genocide of 1994, during which over one-tenth of the country’s population was killed.--For one hundred days in 1994, the African country of Rwanda suffered a horrific campaign of mass murder. Neighbor turned against neighbor as violence engulfed the region, resulting in the deaths of over one-tenth of the country’s population. How did this happen? And why didn't international organizations intervene?
