On the night of April 6th, after extremists downed the plane carrying the Hutu President of Rwanda who was participating in the peace talks, the Army and the militias began indiscriminate massacres of Tutsi civilians across the country. This small battalion held out for several days against surrounding army forces. The soldiers of the RPA, while under fire from larger forces, still had to deal with the barbarity of the Genocide, discovering mass killings, raped women, and sometimes their own relatives who had been killed by the perpetrators of the Genocide against the Tutsi. Nevertheless, many continued to fought on. They performed daring rescues of thousands of civilians around Kigali that were trapped in churches, the stadium, and their homes as they faced certain death. These young, well disciplined, politically-educated army were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to save Rwanda from one of the worst events in human history
