Monbiot takes issue with our claim that the "great majority of deaths were Hutu", and calls this "as straightforward an instance of revisionism as I've ever seen". But Rwanda's 1991 census estimated the Tutsi population at 600,000, and some 300,000 Tutsi survived the violence of 1994.

This math appears to be the basis of their claim. However, the accounts of people at the time pretty much all said it was the Hutu slaughtering the Tutsi. "They're killing us!" "We're killing them!"
