Question
which event sparked extremist hutus to incite genocide against the tutsis in rwanda?
○ a new democratic government
○ civil war started by the tutsis
○ the death of the rwandan president
○ a peace agreement that the tutsis refused to sign
The 1994 Rwandan genocide was triggered when the plane carrying Rwandan President Juvénal Habyarimana (a Hutu) was shot down. Extremist Hutu groups immediately blamed Tutsis, using this event as a pretext to launch organized mass killings of Tutsis and moderate Hutus. The other options are incorrect: there was no new democratic government sparking the genocide, the civil war was initiated by Hutu-led forces against Tutsi exiles, and Tutsis did sign the Arusha Accords peace agreement.
