Rwanda 1994
| In April 1994 began 100 days of genocide. On average 8,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutus were killed every day. |
· "Because attacks were incited or ordered by supposedly legitimate authorities, those with misgivings found it easier to commit crimes and to believe or pretend to believe they had done no wrong."
· "On April 6, the plane carrying President Habyarimana was shot down ... The Presidential Guard and other troops commanded by Colonel Bagosora, backed by militia, murdered Hutu government officials and leaders of the political opposition, creating a vacuum in which Bagosora and his supporters could take control. ... Within hours, military officers and administrators far from the capital dispatched soldiers and militia to kill Tutsi and Hutu political leaders in their local areas."
