A young girl on the road out of Rwanda to Bukavu, Jully 1994
Rwanda Hutus fled from the French protection zone into Zaire as French troops prepared to pull out. An estimated 800,000 Rwandans, mostly Tutsis and moderate Hutus were slaughtered by their fellow Hutu countrymen during the 100 day genocide in April. By late July more than 2 million Rwandans had fled to Zaire. The refugees are mainly Hutus fleeing in fear of Tutsi reprisals after the Hutu Interahamwe massacres of Tutsis in the spring of 1994.
