I didn't study this in my original study of massacres. I'm trying now to identify an exact starting point that will let me study it effective. Broadly, the genocide is listed as lasting April 7 to July 15, 1994 as a subset of the Rwandan Civil War. Between 500,000 and 600,000 Tutsis were killed in the genocide. No other country intervened.
I'll not repeat the horrible, brutal historic details of this - I can easily extract them later for a larger write-up, and those interested can easily explore them from the link above.
The immediate precipitating event: On April 6, 1994, just before 8:20 PM, the Rwandan president's plane was shot down by surface-to-air missile as it was preparing to land in Kigali. If I don't find another date/time, this might be good enough (and is an important event on its own).
Overnight (Apr 6-7), extremists killed several moderate politicians and journalists in their homes, slaying several important government officers. By noon 4/7, most of the national leadership was dead or in hiding. Genocidal assault began within hours.
On reviewing the above, I'm going to use the murder of the president as the "starting pistol" of the genocide. The charts below disgust me with their implications, but, based on prior strong findings from the study of massacres, they aren't too bad. -- The Libsolar's transits and quotidian are outright fantastic!

(This chart is accurate only in one sense: Mercury-Jupiter is quite common on angles for successful massacres, probably from the "successful execution" angle etc. But the overall tone is so positive, I'm rating it negatively.)

Subsequent Arisolar: A few days later, covering most of the genocide period, a new Arisolar formed with Moon square Saturn (2°23') and Mars on IC (2°03').

(I have to give this a positive score because Jupiter is one of the fundamental planets of massacres. However, the charts also should have the malefics angular, which this does not.)
