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 over Kigali. Extremist Hutu groups immediately blamed Tutsi rebels, using this event as a pretext to launch organized mass violence against Tutsis and moderate Hutus. The other options are incorrect: a new democratic government was not the trigger, the civil war preceded the genocide and was not started by Tutsis, and there was no peace agreement refused by Tutsis that sparked the genocide.
