How Rwanda Is Becoming the Fastest Growing Economy in Africa

How Rwanda Is Becoming the Fastest Growing Economy in Africa The Rwandan genocide, often known as the genocide against the Tutsi, happened during the Rwandan Civil War between April 7th and July 15th, 1994. During this roughly 100-day period, members of the Tutsi minority ethnic group, as well as some moderate Hutu and Twa, were murdered by armed militias. The Rwandan Patriotic Front (or RPF), a rebel organization formed mostly of Tutsi exiles, launched the Rwandan Civil War in 1990 by invading northern Rwanda from their headquarters in Uganda. In the three years that followed, neither side was able to achieve a decisive victory. On August 4, 1993, the Rwandan government headed by Hutu president Juvénal Habyarimana signed the Arusha Accords with the RPF in an attempt to end the conflict peacefully. While many historians argue that the Tutsi genocide had been planned for some years, the killing of Habyarimana on April 6, 1994, created a leadership vacuum and ended peace agreements. The next day, Hutu troops, police, and militia killed prominent Tutsi and moderate Hutu military and political figures, marking the beginning of the genocide. ___ RECOMMENDED VIDEOS: Why Is Russia Buying Up All the GOLD    • Why Is Russia Buying Up All the GOLD   Why Are Global Companies Leaving China and Going to Vietnam    • Why Are Global Companies Leaving China and...   10 Tips to Save Money as the Cost of Living Rises    • 10 Tips to Save Money as the Cost of Livin...   ___ #fixeconomix #Rwanda # Growth
