Pointed out by Medley: NYCO has begun a weblog project called "100 Days of Rwanda.

The war in Rwanda claimed over 800,000 lives in a span of 100 days. That's 8,000 people - several times the number that died on 9/11/2001 - every single day for over three months from April 6th, 1994 to July 14th, 2004. It was brutal, horrific and almost completely ignored by the western world, at least here in the U.S. This weblog project is a good opportunity for us to learn what happened back in 1994.
