Huh? According to Wikipedia, only roughly 140,000 people died during that 10-year period:

Still a horrific number, but one or two orders of magnitude fewer than "millions". There were millions displaced though.

Edit: I'll also add that that number (140k) is far less than the number of Rwandans killed during their 1994 genocide, and in Rwanda's case that happened in just a few days IIRC, not over a multi-year period.
