The Rwanda genocide was a genocide committed on more than 800,000 Tutsis and Hutus who opposed the genocide. It ran from 7 April to 15 July 1994. Those responsible for this genocide are considered to have been mainly Hutus, led by the ultra-nationalist ruling party MRND, and Hutunist militia groups supported by leading government and military personnel.
The UN and the countries of the Western world have received harsh criticism for their actions during the genocide. The UN's presence in the country was minimal from the outset and as the violence in the country escalated and despite the UN being well aware of what was going on in the country, military personnel were sent back.
