Early Warnings of Genocide

At the Nyamata memorial as well was the grave of a nun who had been killed by a Hutu militant group in 1992. With the first signs of genocide, a large number of Tutsis took refuge in the church and the Hutu group chasing them decided to starve the Tutsi refugees out. When the nun publicized the siege and called for the international community to intervene and help the refugees, the Hutus killed the nun and let the starving Tutsis go.
