The document discusses the Rwandan genocide of 1994, where over 800,000 Tutsi people were brutally killed by the Hutu majority group over the span of 100 days. Discrimination and colonial influence had caused tensions between the Hutu and Tutsi to escalate, resulting in the Hutu blaming the Tutsi for their problems. Victims were tortured with acid and slaughtered with machetes or beaten to death. An estimated 150,000-250,000 women were also raped during this genocide. The violence was widespread, with friends and family sometimes turning against each other. Only some of the perpetrators faced punishment for their crimes.
