When President Habyarimana’s plane was shot down on 6 April 1994, Rwanda descended into 100 days of orchestrated slaughter. This Historic Crisis Committee thrusts you into the heart of this tragedy: you will assume the roles of key actors—perpetrators and victims, colonial powers and regional hosts. How will you balance the demands of sovereignty, post-conflict justice, and the nascent Rwandan Patriotic Front’s bid to seize Kigali and end the bloodshed?
Delegates, prepare to react in real time to intelligence briefings, eyewitness reports and frantic appeals from field commanders. Your decisions here will shape the international community’s response to genocide.
Speed, strategy, and moral courage will determine whether Rwanda’s darkest hours become history—or repeat themselves.
