Bugesera massacres
1992 massacres in Rwanda
The Bugesera massacres were a series of attacks perpetrated by people belonging to the Hutu ethnicity, against Tutsi civilians in the Bugesera District of southeastern Rwanda. The massacres occurred in March 1992, after false information was broadcast by Radio Rwanda. Some observers saw this as a prelude to the genocide of the Tutsi in Rwanda that took place in 1994.
