Answer 1

Yes, you are correct. The conflicts between the Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda and Burundi resulted in an estimated half a million deaths. The most notable and horrific episode was the Rwandan genocide in 1994, where extremist Hutus targeted the Tutsi population, leading to the deaths of approximately 800,000 people in just a span of a few months. Additionally, prior to and following the genocide, there were conflicts and violence between the two ethnic groups that further contributed to the high death toll.
