president Cyprien Ntaryamira was shot down over Kigali, leaving no survivors. (It has never been conclusively determined who the culprits were. Some have blamed Hutu extremists, while others blamed leaders of the RPF.)

November 2016 Rwandan Genocide The Rwandan genocide was a mass slaughter of the Tutsi population in Rwanda. It was carried out by the Hutu majority government. The roots to this genocide leads back to the colonial era. During the colonial era, Belgium had control over Rwanda during World War I. During this time, Belgium issued identity cards for the Hutu and Tutsi community. This help create barriers between the two communities and socio-economic boundaries. In the late 1950’s, during the…

did not do anything to stop the genocide from happening, even other people from all around the world who were watching that happen in the news, did not do anything. In the end approximately nearly 1,000,000 Tutsis were killed in the massacre, and the Hutu leaders that caused the massacre, are still being searched…

The Tutsi and Hutu of Rwanda Two groups who have lived together for thousands of years, were torn apart. The Tutsi and Hutu tribes of Rwanda became “enemies” in 1885, when Germany attained rule of the nation. Germany had given power to the Tutsi who were 14% of Rwanda population. The Tutsi gained education, jobs, & wealth from Germany’s colonization. After World War I, Germany lost its rule of Rwanda and Belgium took control. Under Belgian rule, not much changed as far as either tribe's power.…

intelligent Hutu that went to western schools, wrote a published paper called the Bahutu Manifesto, and called for the end of Tutsi rule. The Tutsi replied by emphasizing the shebuja (lord) and garagu (serfs) relationship between the Tutsi and the Hutu, and demanded independence from Belgium in Rwanda. The Belgian government switched and supported the Hutu because the Hutus did not want the end of the Belgian government. So on November of 1959 the Rwandan Civil War began this allowed the Hutu to…

traceable roots, three main indigenous ethnic groups inhabited Rwanda: Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa. These three groups shared the same religion and language and mythologized themselves to all share a common divine ancestor who had three sons: Gahutu, Batutsi, and Batwa. The three sons were the mythic ancestors of the Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa tribes (Semujanga 15). Rwanda’s population prior to the 1994 genocide was approximately 85 percent Hutu, 14 percent Tutsi, and 1 percent Twa (Klinghoffer 6). The…

happened in Rwanda in the 1990s? The Rwandan Genocide was a 100-day long mass murder of the Tutsi people committed by the Hutu people in Rwanda, from 7 April to 15 July 1994.

The colonial rulers (Germany until 1919, Belgium thereafter) favoured the Tutsi over the Hutu, and gave Tutsi people additional benefits like education and positions of power. The Belgian government…

of the Rwanda civil war with the Hutu government and the RPF or Rwanda Patriotic Front. With the tensions being very high with the civil war it was very easy for something to happen to set things off. When a plane was shot down containing Habyarimana and Burundi’s president Cyprien Ntaryamira this was the last straw and the peace talks ended. Hutu military took control and started to hunt down people from Tutsi decent. They used radio stations to tell fellow Hutu too take up arms and kill Tutsi…
