Answer 1

The correct response is:

Both genocides were perpetrated in part by the government in power and ended with those governments still in power.

In both the Rwandan genocide (1994) and the Darfur genocide (starting in 2003), the atrocities were carried out with some level of involvement or complicity from the ruling governments. In Rwanda, the Hutu-led government was responsible for orchestrating the genocide against the Tutsi population, while in Darfur, the Sudanese government and affiliated militias targeted non-Arab ethnic groups. Despite the international attention and condemnation, both governments remained in power after the genocides occurred.
