The two groups involved in the Genocide in Rwanda are the Hutu and Tutsi.

The Hutus were the perpetrators and the Tutsi were the victims. Around 500 000 - 1 000 000 people died in total.

The Tutsis were a minority in power before the genocide and this contributed to the need for "revenge" on the side of the Hutus.
