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 worst wars that Africa could have ever encountered. Through revenge and a desire to kill, these conflicts would arise through personal racialized and ethnicized history that were taught to them. Through the grievance of history these…

In 1994, a genocide happened in Rwanda between two population, Hutu and Tutsi. The Hutus started killing over one million Tutsis within three month due to the limited resources and food.

Most Hutus were being punished with lifetime in prison, community service, fine and other special reparations are possible. The kild under the age 14 were sent to training camps. Teens at the age of 14-18…

The Hutus and the Tutsis are two groups that derive from Rwanda. The Hutus, make up a bulk of the population whereas the Tutsis were a significantly smaller group that had control of the nation (Payne 195). It is often said that there is an “ancient tribal hatred” between these two groups. However, this claim is untrue and therefore inaccurate to speak about. Contrary to popular belief, the two congregations actually share the same land, religion as well as language. “Rather than being…

Stassen tells a story about a young boy, Deogratias, experiences before, during and after the genocide, the war happened due to the division between ethnics: Hutu and Tutsi. As the story progresses, it shows something significant in life that we can take as a lesson.

controlled based on statistical law. Also in the document Tutsi and Hutu are labeled as separate races that can only co-exist in a Hutu government. The manifesto called for a double liberation of the Hutu people: from the European colonials, and also from the Tutsi “Cockroaches”. This document would be enough to send Rwanda back into a state of nature. In 1959 Hutu Chief Dominique Mbonyumutwa was attacked in the capital city of Kigali by Tutsi extremist. The Chief survived however Rwanda Hutu’s…

“Tutsi in Rwanda, much like Jews in Nazi Germany, were ‘socially dead’ people, whose murder was as acceptable as it became common” (Hintjens, 241). Starting April 1994, the country of Rwanda began to witness the mass slaughter directed towards the Tutsi minority killing around a million people. This genocide is defined as a genocide because it was planned before it actually occurred. The main purpose of this literature review is to figure out some of the main causes of the genocide through…

genocide started from April 7, 1994 to July 1994. The Hutu massacred a ton of Tutsis and politically moderate Hutu people. By the end of the genocide, it estimates that anywhere between 800,000 – 1 million killed, with another 2 million refugees held in refugee camps. The Rwandan genocide has been prepared for years. In 1959-1960 tension erupted between the Hutus and the Tutsi. The Hutu thought that killing the Tutsi would fix the situation. Rwanda made the arrangement to commit genocide was…

In just one hundred days, an approximately 800,000 Tutsis had been killed by the people of the Hutu ethnic tribe (Barnett 4). This portion accounted for about a tenth of the population of the East African nation. The Hutu also died during the genocide, but the number was far less than that of the Tutsis. The crude killing spree began after the…
