The Rwandan massacre, also known as the Rwandan civil war, took place from April 7, 1994 to mid-June, 1994. It was the organized genocide of Tutsi and moderate Hutus by Hutus, which caused 800- 1 10,000 deaths, accounting for more than1/5,000 of the world population at that time.
The massacre was supported by the Rwandan government, army, officials and a large number of local media. In addition to the army, two Hutu militia groups were mainly responsible for the massacre: Interahamwe and Impuzamugambi, and a large number of Hutu civilians also participated in the massacre.

I. Impact of the incident
1994 Rwanda's civil war and genocide have brought great disasters to Rwanda, making the originally poor countries worse, losing a large number of labor and bringing the national economy to the brink of collapse.
The massacre also brought about great changes in the country's demographic structure. /kloc-Children under the age of 0/4 account for about 40% of the total population, many women become widows, and a large number of Hutu extremists who fled to neighboring countries infiltrated into neighboring countries, which had a negative impact on the stability of these countries.
Second, the international response.
Because of the unexpected "Black Hawk Incident" when the United States conducted military operations in Somalia, the United States did not want to get involved in the Rwandan civil war. 1During his visit to Rwanda in March 1998, US President Bill Clinton tactfully apologized to the survivors of the Holocaust at Kigali Airport.
The Belgian government withdrew all its troops in Rwanda and took away all its weapons on the grounds that 10 Belgian peacekeepers were killed in battle.
