PYGMY

• The Twa, a subgroup of the African Pygmies, are
  slightly larger than most pygmies. Adult males
  average 5 ft and 100 lb. The Twa, the earliest
  settlers of this area, originally lived off the
  land as hunters and gatherers in the once
  extensive forests around the Virunga Mountains.

  her baby cradled on her back. Mbuti and Baka
  Pygmies live in the rainforests of Central
  America.  Traditionally they live by hunting and
  gathering food.

Death of Tutsi

• In 1994 the Rwandan Hutu government launched a
  systematic genocide of their minority Tutsi
  citizens. In four months, government forces and
  militia likely murdered 750,000, possibly even
  1,000,000, Tutsi and Hutu reluctant to join in
  the slaughter.

Death of Tutsi

• Partial remains and personal belongings still
  litter the floor of Ntarama Church, south of
  Kigali. Around 5,000 Tutsis were killed at the
  spot in April of 1994

17
Hutu Woman

• A Hutu woman, 40, pulls aside her clothing to
  reveal the scars left after she was raped and
  stabbed by Tutsi soldiers. Her husband was
  abducted and killed and their home set on fire
  with their six children inside. Five died.

Fleeing of HUTU

• In July of 1994, the Rwandan Patriotic Front
  captured the capital city, Kigali. The government
  collapsed and a ceasefire was declared. Around
  two million Hutus fled the country to the Congo
  (then called Zaire) when it was evident that the
  RPF was victorious

19
Hutu Prisoners

• Ethnic Hutu prisoners look out from behind the
  bars. The Rwandan government went ahead on April
  24 with the execution of 22 prisoners, the first
  convicts found guilty in the killing of 800,000
  Tutsis and moderate Hutus in a three-month period
  in 1994.

• Hutu had tried to flee further away from Rwanda,
  into Tanzania, but had been turned back by
  Tanzanian soldiers. Several of the refugees said
  they would walk all the way to Kenya or Malawi
  just so they could avoid returning to Rwanda

21
Kibumba Camp

• Thousands of Rwandan refugees die daily of
  cholera, dysentery, and starvation. French Army
  tractors pile the bodies up against mounds of
  volcanic lava and then cover them with earth.
  Death has become a management problem.

In 100 days an estimated 500,000 to 800,000 died
in a brutal struggle for political power.
