The genocide lasted only 100 days from April 6, 1994 by dint of July 16, 1994 which moulds it one of the shortest genocides in history. 1. chairwoman Hayarimana was assassinated in the beginning of April 1994 and that was the start of the genocide. .

He couldnt move, not even look away. 2. The interahamwe (a militia group partition of the genocide) paid HIV positive men to rape Tutsi women, so the women that werent killed by a masus or another weapon would die from disease. 3. Up to 20,000 children were innate(p) due to the rapes that occurred in Rwanda.D.
