→Bosnia, Rwanda, and Cambodia
In Rwanda, over 800,000 Tutsis were killed over a 3 month period by the dominant Hutu government. [http://www.hrw.org/reports/1999/rwanda/ This] site gives a complete analysis of events from start to finish. There's also an excellent book called "Left to Tell" by Immaculee Illibagiza who describes how she survived the genocide partially by hiding in a bathroom with 6 other women for weeks. I'm putting these three back on the page with these links as references. [[User:SSchultz|SSchultz]] 20:34, 11 December 2007 (EST)

:I've got to remove the Bosnian reference as genocide. The definition given in the article versus that of the World Court aren't the same, and, as I'm sure you know, we have a tendency to be a bit skeptical of those bodies (I.E. -- Their verdict alone does not make it true genocide). The key is government sponsored, whereas in the link that you provided it specifically says the government was not to blame. Quite honestly that is an atrocity, not a genocide. Genocide is a large scale systematic effort to eliminate another group. The definition of genocide has been watered down, but it appears Andy wishes to uphold a higher standard -- and personally I am in agreement.
