Both the Holocaust, and Rwandan Genocide targeted a minority, which is a recurring theme among mass killings, and massacres. During the Holocaust primarily Jewish were killed, who only made up a small portion of Europe’s population. The Rwandan Genocide targeted the Tutsis, also a minority who held a small 14% of the population, compared to the Hulu’s 85% (BBC News: 100 Days of Slaughter, 2017). In both cases boundaries between differentiating parties were clearly drawn. Over time, the separation between both groups brewed into hatred for each other.…

Because of the many killings going on during the Rwandan genocide, many Tutsis have been killed by the Hutu. By May 20, 1994, the International Committee for the Red Cross estimated more than 500,000 Rwandans killed. In March of 1994, many more could have been killed if the situation in Rwanda had worsened beyond the point it already has. If there were any possibility for there to be a new generation of Tutsis, it was eliminated. In the year 1994, in only four months, the Hutu extremists had already killed approximately 700,000, which were mostly Tutsi, and roughly 50,000 politically moderate Hutus.…
The Rwandan Genocide was a mass murder of all the Tutsi people in Rwanda. It began April 6th 1994 when the president, Juvenal Habyarimana, died when his plane was shot down by a Tutsi rebel group. The genocide took out nearly 1 million Tutsi people, which is about 3/4 of the Tutsi population. Before Rwanda gained independence they were ruled by the Belgians. The Belgians believes that Tutsis were superior to Hutus which is why when they were in charge, the Tutsis were put in power.…

The armies of Hutu captured and killed innocent Tutsi civilians (White). “Schools, hospitals, and places of business were shuttered. Thousands of doctors, teachers, business leaders, and other educated Rwandans were either killed, committed murder themselves, or fled (Marshall).” The violence and fear was so great that it made people want to commit suicide. Even though the deaths were numbered close to those from the Holocaust the way the people died was not even close.…
Rwanda Genocide is the act of killing people of a particular ethnic group, or nation, attempting to wipe them out completely. “Killing members of the group or causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group,” (How do you define genocide?) are few of the many things that the Hutus did to the Tutsi people. Preventing all genocide should be a duty and a need for a global response.…

The government of Rwanda was haunted by the years of colonization by the Belgians. Through this time, the Belgians named two groups, which were known as Hutus and Tutsis. However, due to different treatment between each group, the Hutus and the Tutsis would endure the ghastliest war that Africa could have ever faced. As a result, of revenge and a longing to kill, these conflicts would arise through personal racialized and ethnicized history that was taught to them. Through the grievance of history, these groups were driven to the breaking point, which eventually ended in the extermination of millions of people during and after the Rwandan genocide.…
