Rwanda

What if the country you lived in was colonized? What does colonialism even mean? It means that other countries are trying to take over your country. In the film hotel Rwanda, Paul Rusesabagina didn’t take that so he tried to stop it and he eventually stopped it. Did you know that Paul Rusesabagina risked his life just to save 1,268 people from dying. And its not cool how nearly a million Tutsi died by their heritage by the rivals Hutus. But that’s not the important stuff, the important stuff…

The genocide of the Tutsi minority of Rwanda only spanned for one-hundred days, yet the death toll amassed almost 1,000,000 people; where the vast majority were massacred with machetes. Consequently, to achieve this atrocity, much of the Hutu population were “implicated for this to succeed”…

were the minorities between the two groups. They shared the same religion and race, the only difference was their social and economic classes. The Genocide of Rwanda was an effort to rid Africa of all the Tutsis by killing not only all the adults, but their children as well. The main character who goes by the name of Paul owns the Hotel Rwanda and from the beginning of the film demonstrates his ability to turn a seemingly unpleasant situation into a good one. Once the killings of the Tutsis have…

genocide the US avoided naming it a Genocide as that would mean it was obligated to act under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention of Genocide. The delayed/inactive response in Rwanda and of other genocides cannot however be blamed entirely on the failure of the international community.

As I have observed in Rwanda, assuming that non-patrilineal kinship systems encourage gender equality is simplistic. An array of sociological factors regulate ndividuals’ position in a given community and lineage is only one.

religious group, as such: (a) killing member of the group, etc. although is a crime against humanity, however we have seen the act in different countries around the world.
