Rwanda genocide: Ex-army chief Augustin Bizimungu given 30-year sentence

Over 100 days in 1994, after the assassination of President Juvenal Habyarimana the 6th April 1994, Rwanda's Hutu majority led by the government carried out the organized slaughter of the country's Tutsi minority and any Hutus who sympathized with them, killing an estimated 800 000 people in the space of three months. In July of the same year, the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) finally managed to gain hold of the country and the killings started to decrease.
