Answer 1

The correct response to compare the Rwandan genocide and the Darfur genocide is:

Both genocides were perpetrated in part by the government in power, but only the Rwandan genocide ended with that same government overthrown.

In Rwanda, the genocide against the Tutsi population occurred in 1994, and it led to the overthrow of the Hutu-led government by the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF). In contrast, while the genocide in Darfur (which began in 2003) involved the Sudanese government and Janjaweed militias targeting non-Arab ethnic groups, the government led by Omar al-Bashir remained in power for many years after the genocide began.
