Rwanda Genocide 7.5
Address:
Zaire Angola
Category: Genocide
July 19th, after rebels finally stop the Rwandan genocide the RPF government is sworn in and 1.7 million Hutu refugees flee to neighboring Zaire and Tanzania.
In 100 days 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu had been killed. Rwandan refuges in neighboring Zaire were dying of hunger and cholera at a rate of approximately 2,000 per day. The U.S. administration authorizes $170 million for humanitarian relief.
In 2001 the Rwanda's flag was changed so as not to be associated with the genocide.
View pictures to see the new flag and the leader of the RPF, Paul Kagame.
