Genocide in Rwanda



Preserved corpses of some of the tens of thousands of ethnic Tutsis massacred at the Murambi school compound in southwestern Rwanda during the 1994 genocide, photographed June 17, 2002.

Hutu extremists killed an estimated 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus in Rwanda in the 100 days from April to June 1994. More than 100,000 suspected killers are currently behind bars awaiting trial, and Rwanda this week relaunches a traditional court system to try and deal with the backlog of unheard cases.

In 'Gacaca' courts, ordinary Rwandans will judge their neighbors, in an experiment in mass justice that the government hopes will also aid national reconciliation. (Antony Njuguna/Reuters)
