A Deutsche Welle article states, “In 1994 Rwanda was the site of one of the worst genocides in history. More than 800,000 people – mostly Tutsi – were killed over three months by the army and Hutu militias. Today, there’s peace in Rwanda but on the other side of the mountain range, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, many of the Hutu militiamen continue their fight. Organized as the FDLR, they bring havoc over the eastern Congo – turning 1.5 million people into refugees.”
