April 7 is designated by the United Nations as the International Day of Reflection on the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda to remember the last genocide of the 20th century against the Tutsi minority by the Hutu extremist-led government. Within some 100 days, more than 1 million Tutsis were murdered.
