The Rwandan Civil War was a large-scale civil war in Rwanda which was fought between the Rwandan Armed Forces, symbolizing the country's government, and the revolutionary Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) from 1 October 1990 to 18 July 1994.
<h3>What happened in Rwanda in the 90s?</h3>
During the 1994 Rwandan genocide, also understood as the genocide against the Tutsi, members of the Hutu ethnic majority in the east-central African country of Rwanda killed as many as 800,000 people, especially of the Tutsi minority.
The war arose from the long-running conflict between the Hutu and Tutsi groups within the Rwandan population.
The war started on 1 October 1990 when the RPF invaded north-eastern Rwanda, running 60 km (37 mi) into the country.
