Summary

In 1994, the nation of Rwanda endured a brutal 100-day spasm of violence that tore families apart and claimed the lives of over one million people. Members of the ethnic minority Tutsi group were hunted down and murdered by members of the larger Hutu group. While this was the worst episode of violence between the two groups, it was not the first. What added to the tragedy was that while the horrific events unfolded, the rest of the world stood by and did nothing. Learn about the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, why it happened, and how it unfolded on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
