I visited Kigali two weeks ago, working with the stats office there on mortality analysis, as it happens. If you ever visit Rwanda, the Kigali Genocide museum is well worth visiting to put these numbers into context.
The scale of the Rwandan genocide is absolutely insane That spike in 1994 is entirely caused by one country the size of Massachusetts over a period of 3 months, mainly using machetes
