In 1994 Rwanda's population was divided into 3 seperate groups. Hutu(85%) Tutsi(14%) and Twa(1%). the Hutu's mainly blamed the tutsi's for all of Rwanda's political, social, and econamilcal pressures. On April 6,1994 carrying Rwanda's president was shot down killing him and all passengers aboard the plane. The violence began immediately after that, Hutu extremists planed to destroy the entire Tutsi population. Many civilians in Rwanda were murdered because the refused to participate in the killings. The genocide ended when the Tutsi-dominated rebel group, the RPF, defeated the Hutu perpetrator regime, and President Paul Kagame took control.
