Ethnic cleansing of
Rohingya in Myanmar has strong parallels with the genocide of ethnic
Tutsis in Rwanda, one of the worst atrocities of modern times.
From April-July 1994,
Hutu militias backed by the Hutu-majority government and military, massacred up
to one million minority Tutsis.
The genocide was the
culmination of long-time ethnic conflict in Rwanda, a small equatorial republic
straddling central and eastern Africa.
