THE GENOCIDE
The Airline on which Juvenal Habyarimana and Cyprien Ntaryamira, the President of Burundi travelled, has been struck and dejected while it was landing to Kigali. The event makes the fall of situation: it is the beginning of the Genocide in Rwanda.
The following day begin “the 100 longest days” of the Rwanda History: squadrons of the death with the machetes, the more used weapon, started to complete the Genocide. At the end of the Genocide the 77% of the Tutsi results killed, but some hypothesise that the killed civilians have been over a million[S1][F1][E1][I1].
April 12 th 1994 : the homicides in Rwanda stop being selective and begins the extermination of mass: the extremists begin to pursue the total elimination of Tutsi from the country and they kill them with machete, spiked cudgels, small axes, knives, brooms, hammers, guns and rifles; they sometimes cut them the tendons of Achilles so that cannot escape and then, in all calm, they kill them. All the roads are garrisoned by places of block, so everybody can be checked and identified through the identity papers, or through the somatic lines that would recognised a Tutsi man or woman.
One of the most ferocious massacres is born out in Gikongoro, near the technical institute of Murambi: over 27.000 persons are been massacred without pity, another massacre is in the church of Ntara, where more than 5.000 of Tutsi are killed.
At the end of 2001 the Rwanda government has published a relationship that fixes to 1.074.017, over the 10% of the total population, the killed people in the first five months of 1994, of which 951.018 victims have no name or last name: none of their family has survived.
Two million run away in the near countries: before the Tutsi, to escape to the Genocide, then the Hutu, for fear of repression.
