Answer 1

The Rwandan genocide and the Darfur genocide both involved widespread violence and mass killings of ethnic groups by the government in power. However, while the Rwandan genocide resulted in the overthrow of the government responsible for the genocide, the government in power during the Darfur genocide remained in power. This key difference highlights the varying outcomes and consequences of the two genocides.
