Rwandan Genocide

A Genocide is an intentional action to kill or destroy a race or group like the Holocaust that happened from 1933 to 1945. On 7 April 1994, a civil war was just ending between the Tutsis and the Hutus and when there was about to be peace the president of Rwanda had his plane shot down with him in it. The Hutus blamed the Tutsis for it, so the Hutus started to kill the Tutsis with machetes to try and wipe out their race. The Genocide ended on July 1994. A way we could help stop genocide is by helping poor countries instead of letting them get more and angrier till they do a genocide. A way of helping them is by donating to them or just to help them find a way to get more money or supplies.
