Hutu refugees

Bukavu, Zaire, 1994 Tens of thousands of Hutu refugees wait on the Rwandan side of the border, desperate to cross to Zaire. After the Rwandan genocide in which ethnic Hutus killed hundreds of thousands of Tutsi, Hutus where chased from Rwanda and took refuge by the hundreds of thousands in neighboring Zaire. (today Democratic Republic of Congo) Tens of thousands of those Hutu refugees later died of disease and malnutrition in refugee camps set up in Zaire.
