The claim is that it was not genocide.

Genocide is the planned masaccre and annihilation of a particular group of people, tribe, religious group.

The UN termed it as more of a civil war than a genocide as the targeted people were not targetted because of affiliation to a particular tribe race or religion but for the sole reason of displacing them, not killing them.
