Abstract
Genocide committed against the Tutsis in 1994 is a reality of the XXe century that is the specificity of Africa, since it was the first genocide that has been committed in this continent. In this manner Rwanda became unfortunately famous. The régime of Habyarimana had planned seriously and had executed genocide against the Tutsis. All the Institutions have been mobilized as well as a part of the population extremist Hutu to kill more possible Tutsi. The perpetrators had for mission to eliminate the Tutsis methodically using the lists of the names and the identification cards which mention the ethnicity. Thus, the Tutsis have been exterminated because the barriers were set up everywhere to stop the Tutsis from fleeing toward the neighboring countries. Before this genocide, the idleness of the International Community appeared a lot when some Tutsis have been killed without intervening. The following day of the beginning of slaughters in April 07 1994, the troops of RPF decided to leave their position in order to go to save the Tutsis that were again in life. The militias and the Presidential Guard killed the Tutsis while escaping the advanced of RPF toward the neighboring countries, but the big number of these perpetrators took refuge to the former Zaire, the current DRC. Finally, July 4, 1994, the RPF stopped genocide and liberated the country.
