In this episode of That 90s Pod podcast, we delve into the tragic events of the Rwandan Genocide that took place in 1994. We discuss the historical background, the causes of the genocide, the international response, and the lasting impact it has had on Rwanda and the world.

Key Points:
1. Historical Background: The Rwandan Genocide was a systematic and brutal campaign of violence that targeted the Tutsi ethnic group in Rwanda. It was sparked by longstanding tensions between the Tutsis and Hutus, exacerbated by colonial rule and political manipulation.
2. Causes of the Genocide: The genocide was fueled by ethnic hatred, political power struggles, and propaganda that dehumanized the Tutsi population. The assassination of Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana in 1994 served as a catalyst for the violence.
3. International Response: The international community largely failed to intervene and stop the genocide, despite mounting evidence of the atrocities taking place. The United Nations peacekeeping mission in Rwanda was ill-equipped and unable to prevent the widespread slaughter.
4. Legacy: The Rwandan Genocide left an indelible mark on Rwanda and its people, with over 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus killed in just 100 days. The country has since made remarkable progress in reconciliation and rebuilding, but the trauma of the genocide still lingers.

In this episode of That 90s Pod podcast, we delve into the tragic events that marked the beginning of the Rwandan Civil War in the 1990s. We explore the political, social, and historical factors that led to the conflict, as well as its devastating impact on the people of Rwanda.

Key Points:
1. Historical Background: The Rwandan Civil War was a conflict that took place in Rwanda from 1990 to 1994, between the Hutu-led government and the Tutsi rebels of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF). The roots of the conflict can be traced back to the colonial era, where the Belgian colonizers favored the Tutsi minority over the Hutu majority, leading to deep-seated ethnic tensions.
2. Assassination of President Habyarimana: The spark that ignited the civil war was the assassination of Rwandan President Juvénal Habyarimana in April 1994. His death, in a plane crash that also killed the President of Burundi, set off a wave of violence and ethnic cleansing that would result in the genocide of thousands of Tutsis and moderate Hutus.
3. International Response: The international community's response to the Rwandan Civil War was widely criticized for its inaction and failure to intervene to prevent the genocide. The United Nations peacekeeping mission in Rwanda, known as UNAMIR, was ill-equipped and unable to stop the violence, leading to widespread condemnation of the international community's role in the conflict.
