Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the 1994 killing of Tutsi in Rwanda was a civil war rather than a genocide?

No. Multiple reference and scholarly sources describe the 1994 killing of Tutsi in Rwanda as a genocide, including UN and encyclopedia accounts, directly contradicting the claim that it was merely a civil war.
