On April 7, 1994, one of the biggest killings of the twentieth century began on the green hills of Rwanda. Between April and July 1994, in the space of one hundred days, nearly a million Rwandans were killed.
Most of the victims belonged to the Tutsi minority, while the perpetrators of this veritable extermination enterprise were the Hutus. Several thousand moderate Hutus who did not adhere to the racist ideology of their leaders, also died in this bloodbath, the twenty-eighth anniversary of which the country of a thousand hills is commemorating this year.
