In 1994, more than 800,000 Rwandans, mostly ethnic Tutsi, were massacred by Hutu militia and government forces over a period of just 100 days. Stored year 1994 and diaspora note '100 days; ~800,000 killed' are confirmed by the UN Outreach Programme backgrounder (the same page also notes up to one million perished in its summary framing; the backgrounder's case section figure of more than 800,000 over 100 days is what is stamped).
