context: July 1, 1962 Rwanda gained its political independence. By now more than 350,000 Tutsi have been fleeing to neighboring countries. The following year Tutsi groups from these neighboring countries tried to attack the new order. Next was the first genocide of the Tutsis; more than 100,000 were killed by Hutus.

A large number of Tutsis fled to Burundi, Uganda and Tanzania.
