Who  was affected by the genocide in Rwanda?

In 1994 the native ethnic group called Hutu armed with machetes started killing people who were the Tutsi. 10,00 people were estimated to be killed everyday, the final death toll was about 800,000. Violence increased when the new Hutu president was elected and violent outbursts occurred. The U.N tried to stop the violence, but angered the Hutu became more violent. This of course led to the Rwandan Genocide.
