Rwanda genocide toll put at 937,000
KIGALI (Reuters) - The 1994 Rwandan genocide claimed 937,000 victims
according to a census the Rwandan government conducted in 2001.

The figure emerged as the country prepared to mark 10 years since the
massacres began with a memorial on Wednesday for the ethnic Tutsis and
politically moderate Hutus killed in 100 days of slaughter that the outside world
did little to prevent.

snip..

U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, who was head of peacekeeping at the world
body during 1994, accepted institutional and personal blame last month for not
doing more to prevent the Rwandan slaughter.

Annan should resign forthwith..
