Magnum Photographers 

April 7th, 1994 marks the start of the Rwandan Genocide, which end three months later, in July. Nearly one million ethnic Tutsi and moderate Hutu were killed as the international community and UN peacekeepers stood by. The Rwandan Genocide took place within the context of a civil war (broke out in 1990) between the government’s armed forces and the rebel Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF). The violence caused a major humanitarian crisis.
