Researching on Rwanda I have found out that over a million people died in the Rwanda genocide. Corpses on the countryside were covered up with banana leaves to hide them from aerial photography. Most of the people that were killed were killed by hand with mallets and clubs. The U.S. was asked to send 50 armoured airplanes to bring people to safety. By the end of 1995 it was hard to find anyone who would admit there'd been a genocide. the government said yes some massacres, possibly, but no genocide at all. killers and survivors found themselves living next to each other sometimes. The president said that the people of Rwanda have been living together peacefully together for over 600 years and they sure can live peacefully together again.
