==Planned killing of opposite or moderate Hutu== - Prime minister Agathe Uwilingiymana (moderate Hutu)

Murder of UN peacekeepers - The Belgian Soldiers(10) and Ghanaian Soldiers(5)

-> Hutu extremist gained power

==RTLM inciting the conditions for the genocide, encourage and instruct(tell who to be killed, and where to find them) Hutu to kill Tusti==

-> see [[RV prac/history/rwanda/themes/Genocide Participants|Genocide Participants]]

Genocide took place in different places, rather than in Kigali alone.

An ==estimated 200,000 Hutu participated== in the genocide; some joined in gladly and killed for pleasure and gain; some were unwilling, threatened and killed for not complying with what others were doing around them.

Killing method was brutal: - clubs, machetes(most common), spears, crude instruments - Not killed instantly (disabled first, and killed another day) - Rape -> spread of HIV

media

The UN and NGOs had warned of the central role the radio played in inciting ethnic tensions and encouraging murder. The UNAMIR commander ==Romeo Dallaire== urged for RTLM to be taken off the air but the UN itself did nothave the means to stop the radio station broadcasting either through jamming, direct air strikes or covert means.
