Rwanda Genocide of 1994 was the massive massacre against the Tutsi that happened between 7th April and 15 July 1994. The killings began a day after President Juvenal Habyarimana had been assassinated on 6th April 1994 in a plane crash. The acts of massive killings against the Tutsi looked like had been planned a year before the actual war happened. Thousands of Ugandans were killed totaling to over 500,000 and 800,000 people in a short time. The massacre was so intense and the world was left in shock as no country came in to help and calm the situation. The victim of this brutality were killed in their own villages and towns. The militia followed the victims where they were hiding allover in churches and school buildings. The RPF a rebel group dominated by the Tutsi soon restarted the war against the killers and the government when the genocide had started forcing them to end the killings and flee to Zaire.
Prominent politicians and security personnel were killed that night the president had been assassinated from wherever they were hiding. Wherever they hid, they were identified and killed in their homes and other hiding places. The massive killing plan was very successfully executed leaving thousands of Tutsi Rwandese massacred.
The genocide in Kigali started with the assassination of the presidential guard the elite side of the army murdered by the interahamwe soldiers. The Interahamwe set up roadblocks and would ask all the travelers for their Identity cards which clearly showed the ethnicity. The militias started searches in villages and houses of the people to find the Tutsi and all those they found in the hunt were slaughtered immediately. The worst catalyst to the search was the villagers who had killed together and knew where the all the victims were living and just gave direction to the killers or killed their own neighbors. The villagers who refused to kill their Tutsi neighbors were seen as sympathizers and were killed.
