Rwanda: One genocide among many vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Derived from the Greek “genos”, for “people”, and “cide” from the Latin for “to kill”, genocide is defined under a 1948 UN convention as an “act committed with intent to destroy in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.”Viciously planned and executed, the Rwandan genocide began in early April 1994 shortly after the ethnic Hutu president was killed when his plane was shot down.
The verdict came nearly 40 years after the Khmer Rouge were expelled from Cambodia following a four-year reign of terror that left about a quarter of the population dead from starvation, mass executions and overwork. Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic was convicted for genocide and war crimes in 2016. In March 2019 his 40-year sentence was increased to life.Armenia says Ottoman security forces massacred up to 1.5 million Armenians between 1915 and 1917, after the Ottoman Empire entered World War I.
