 Rwanda marks 30 years since genocide


Around 800,000 people were killed during the 1994 Rwandan genocide


Rwandans mark 30 years on Sunday since a genocide orchestrate tore apart their country, as neighbours turned on each other in one of the bloodiest massacres of the 20th century.


The killing spree, which lasted 100 days before the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) rebels took Kigali in July 1994, claimed the lives of around 800,000 people, largely Tutsis but also moderate Hutus.


The nation has since found its footing under the rule of President Paul Kagame, who led the RPF.


In keeping with tradition, April 7 -- the day militias unleashed the carnage in 1994 -- will be marked by Kagame lighting a remembrance flame at the Kigali Genocide Memorial, where more than 250,000 victims are believed to be buried.
