Rwanda is an African country, and in 1997 ~800,000 people were killed in over 100 days, starting when Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana and Burundian president Cyprien Ntaryamira were in a plane that was shot down. A Hutu power group started this with propaganda about the Tutsi people.
The flag:
The Belgians made the division between the Tutsi and Hutu even worse by making ID cards. They favored the Tutsi, and most Hutu normally did forced labor.
When it all started, 1 person out of every 10 families was picked to be in the militia, totaling around 30,000.
UN:
The UN cannot interfere with the politics of a country unless genocide is happening so they didn't help much because "acts of genocide" was happening, but also the UN thought it was too risky to try and help. They admitted that they had failed the situation.
This is a Tutsi Id
