This day in history:

In the hours following the assassination of Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana, mass killings of Tutsis and moderate Hutus begin within the country led by members of the Rwandan military and extremist Hutu militias, marking the first day of the Rwandan Genocide.

Over the next 100 days an estimated 800,000 people would be killed.

April 7, 1994 - 18 years ago today.
