I was raised in a Burundian refugee camp in Tanzania because there was a civil war in my native country Burundi, between the Hutus and Tutsis. As a child living in the camp, history of what happened during the civil war in Burundi was not something that was talked about in the open. The conflict between the Hutu and Tutsi people is a sensitive major issue in Burundi and Rwanda. Within those two most talked about ethnic groups, there is also the Twa population which are pygmy people that are…

The ethnic cases of the genocide in Rwanda and the war in Bosnia will dwell “on the background and buildup to conflict, particularly how the groups employed their cultures to establish identities and to define claims and grievances” (Eller, Violence and Culture, 237). The war in Bosnia was based on culture and history in Bosnia. It was a war against multicultural ideal against the Muslims. Mosques were destroyed as an ethnic cleansing was occurring. Cemeteries, schools, and much more were…

This paper explores how the Conflict of values, international systems, national interest, realism, and humanitarianism played a role in the Rwandan genocide. Although the Jewish genocide seems to be the worlds most remembered massacre of a people, the Rwandan genocide will go down in history as the fastest, If not the utmost vicious, massacre in the history of all humanity. For thousands of Tutsis, a catholic church is all that protects them, “No one gets killed in a church” this…

arouse. Ethnical identities imposed on the Rwandan citizens by German and Belgian rule created an ethnic divide in the country. This tension carries on today, and manifests itself in various ways.

confessed. Similarly in 1994, the UN peacekeeping forces also failed to resolve the conflict that resulted in the genocide between the Tutsi and Hutus. Regardless of the fact that there was a small peacekeeping force in Rwanda at the commencement of the genocide, it was incompatible…

Security Council U.N. should have come together and push forward to stop the atrocities. They knew what was happening, and it’s sad to say, but what was said in the in the video if they were European whites the U.N. would have acted more quickly to the genocide. Any one of the NATO countries could have come forward and said, hey let’s get involved and stop what’s going on, so to just solely thinking the U.S. should have taken the lead to me is doesn’t work well. Everyone had an obligation to…

April of 1994 the Rwandan Genocide began which ended with the death of nearly 800,000 men, women and children. The genocide occurred in Central Africa between the Hutu and Tutsi people. The most devastated were from the Tutsi population.

there are doing just trying to be safe.I could barely see because of the fog I just lost everybody I was with, the fog starts clearing out and all i can see is a hutu soldier killing an innocent men with a machete.It just appears to be the biggest genocide in Rwanda. What happen before it got worse? Tutsi and hutu were living a great life,especially Tutsi because one person from the there came up with an idea,and for that all tutsi got rewarded.Tutsi got rewarded by getting better jobs, a…

The Rwandan Genocide Background- In an article by Zack Beauchamp, he explains the cause of the tension between Tutsis and Hutus. When an economic split between two religious groups occurred conflict quickly arose. Hutus farmed crops however, Tutsis tended livestock. Cattle were more valuable than crops, therefore, the Tutsi population became a “local elite.” When Belgium took over land from Germany in 1917 a Tutsi group had been ruling the monarchy for some time. A German and Belgium rule…
