In 1994, Rwanda experienced a genocide where approximately 1 million Tutsi people were killed by Hutu extremists over the course of 100 days. The genocide resulted in widespread trauma, with many children becoming orphans and survivors struggling with homelessness, poverty, and HIV/AIDS. However, Rwanda has made progress in recovering through community justice programs, economic development, and national reconciliation efforts that have helped reunite the country despite its tragic past. While challenges remain, such as lack of infrastructure, the resilience of the Rwandan people is remarkable.
