7. Rwanda

Rwanda ranks 7th in our list of countries involved with genocide today and the last 100 years. It is a country on the African continent which used to be a German and then a Belgian colony and which finally became an independent republic and a part of the UN after the WWII. A nation by the name of Tutsi ruled this country since most of the rich, influential people belonged to it. Some extremists who belonged to the low and middle class formed the National Party in this country and tried to reach their mutual goal of putting an end to the Tutsi regime. Consequently, a civil war broke out and genocide against the Tutsi started. The whole world witnessed one of the worst killing and torture in human history when millions of people were expelled from their country to the neighboring countries. The number of people killed reached 800,000.
