Juvenal Habyarimma served as the president of Rwanda from 1973-1994. We was part of the ethnic group Hutu which overran the previous president which then put him into power. He was Rwanda's dictator and had pro Hutu views on everything. But in 1990, the Tutsi people started a civil war to overthrow the government. In 1993 there was a peace agreement signed to help relieve the fighting. Unfortunately, his plane was shot down in 1994 and his death is one of the wide known causes for the Rwandan genocide. (pictured below is his plane that was shot down)

Also common known as the Bahutu or Wahutu are a group of individuals consisting of roughly 9,500,000 people. Hutu life was mainly centered on agriculture and social organization. The Hutu were mainly by themselves in this area until roughly the 14-15 century. This is when the Tutsi arrived. While these two didn't always agree on things the two lived relatively peacefully. That is until there was a dispute which then started the Rwandan Civil War. (pictured below is the Hutu people and how they live)

Also commonly known as Batusi, Tussi, Watusi, or Watutsi are a group of individuals found in Rwanda and Burundi. The Tutsi people first arrived in the area in the 14-15th century seeking new rangelands. Although the Hutu were already occupying that land, the Tutsi slowly and peacefully integrated themselves into that land. But, in 1994 the Hutu people attacked a genocide on the Tutsi people because they wanted to keep Rwanda to themselves. (pictured below is the Tutsi people during the genocide)

In a plan to address the problems and talk to Rwanda over the radio Prime Minister Uwilingiyimana was planned on being sent to Rwanda. Unforunatly a guard took over the radio station and would not allow Uwilingiyimana to speak on the radio. Later soldiers surrounded where she was staying and made them surrender whatever they had. They later ended up killing Uwilingiyimana and her husband. This wasn't the only higher up they planed on killing. They had a list of individuals they went out and looked for that same night. (pictured below is Uwilingiyimana)

The arusha accords was a peace treaty signed by Juvenal Habyarimma and others in 1993 to end the civil war in Rwanda. The talk about signing this treaty was talked about in 1992 but took awhile for an agreement to be reached. The idea covered in the arusha accords was that Rwanda would have a broad-based transitional government. This meant that all different political parties would be represented instead of fighting over who has control. ( pictured below is a group of individuals signing the treaty.)

The gacaca court was the new criminal justice system since 2001 to try to find those responsible for the genocide in 1994. While Rwanda tried to serve justice to those involved it was hard to do so on such a large scale. This is when the gacaca courts come into play. These courts were designed to would help assist in arresting the people involved in this genocide. (shown below is one of the gacaca courts)
