[HIGHLIGHTS] Rwanda commemorates the 30th anniversary of the genocide against the Tutsis that left 800,000 dead in 100 days

Rwanda commemorates the 30th anniversary of the genocide against the Tutsis that left 800,000 dead in 100 days. Like every year, on April 7, the day the Hutu militias began the massacres, a flame was lit at the Gisozi Memorial in the capital Kigali.

The massacres began the day after the attack that killed President Juvénal Habyarimana, of Hutu ethnicity. For three months, the army, the Interahamwe militias, but also ordinary citizens massacred - with guns, machetes or clubs.
