death in a fight between two tribes, the Tutsis and Hutus. On April 7th 1994 in Rwanda one of the top ten genocides took place over the span of 3 months. The genocide was started by the death of the Rwandan president Junenal Habyarimana, a Hutu. When his plane was shot down at kigali airport. Over the course of 100 days from April 7th to July 16th 1994, an estimated 800,000 to 1 million Tutsis and some Hutus were murdered in the Rwandan genocide. The male Tutsi population almost got wiped out, males

During the Rwandan genocide more than 6 men, women and children were murdered every minute of every hour, and up to half a million women were raped or sexually mutilated. The event of genocide in Rwanda was a horrific event between the Hutus and Tutsis. There are many different representations of what happened in Rwanda during that time but two of the most powerful are the Ghosts of Rwanda documentary which shows a true version of what really happened in Rwanda and the effects it had on the country

Plan of Investigation This investigation will seek to answer the question “How Did the Rwandan Genocide of 1994 Effect the Hutu and Tutsi?” I chose this question because last year I read the book Left to Tell and I wanted to know more about the two different types of groups, the Hutus and the Tutsis. This was and still is an important topic because many died that day just for belonging to a specific group. This topic shows how much our world has changed since 1994. In order to answer my historical

There was a dispute in the government between the Hutus and the Tutsis for many years. In 1994, the genocide had begun and millions of people were slaughtered. During the Rwandan genocide, the Hutu government killed the Tutsis until Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) and United Nations (UN) stopped the Hutus; the survivors are still haunted by the horrifying memories. II. Why did the Hutus target the Tutsis? The Hutus targeted the Tutsis to gain more power

Rwandan Genocide: Tutsis vs. Hutus The many tears that stream down my face cry for the generations of my kids to come. I sit here as an innocent victimized Tutsi woman, to tell you my story of the Rwandan genocide and how it impacted my people. Through many years of pain and suffering I sit here before you to relieve my anger and install my knowledge of why the Belgium through colonization only installed more love in me toward my people and hatred towards me for not being able to help my people

between the Hutu and Tutsi to continue, while also becoming an important economic factor to the wealth of other nations. The colonization, genocide, and conflicts in the Congo all contributed to the major issue of racial segregation faced by the modern Hutus. The early colonization of Rwanda by the Germans and Belgians created the major internal conflict between the Hutu and the Tutsi. At the time of the Europeans arrival, Rwanda was made up of 85% Hutu, who were farmers, 14% Tutsi, who were cattle herders

The Hutu and the Tutsi are two different racial groups in Rwanda. The group that owned most of the cattle in Rwanda was called the Tutsi and everyone else was the Hutu. Now if an individual wanted to become a Tutsi they just had to marry into this group or acquire cattle. First the Belgians gave the Tutsi who were only 10 percent of the population all the leadership roles in the government. This upset the Hutus since they were 90 percent of the population in Rwanda. Eventually the Belgians

ethnic groups in Rwanda but most of them are mainly sub-tribes of either Hutu or Tutsi populations. Approximately 85% of the population in Rwanda were Hutus and almost the rest were Tutsis. As things were regularly happening in the country, the Belgium started to lean on and favor more for the Tutsi minority over the majority who were Hutus. Therefore, as I would argue, the arrival and the act of Belgium supporting Tutsis over Hutus was the start of the abhorrence between the two ethnic groups and the

Rivalries between neighboring areas have historically led to violent altercations. This is especially the case in Rwanda, between the Hutu and Tutsi tribes that founded the nation. Their relationship was not like that at first- the tensions seemed to increase when European powers intervened with the tribes. When Rwanda became independent, the malicious competition continued because the tribes had become accustomed to it and adopted it on their own. It is so implanted in their culture that even the

You know the severity of a problem with the black on black crimes of the Hutu and Tutsi society, when the opposite race has the authority to condemn the destruction of a civilization of similar African Americans. Take for instance in the movie Hotel Rwanda, the white character Pat Archer who is a health care worker. She is portrayed as a caring white woman who believes in equality and not division among people. In the film there is a scene where Paul asks her to go check on some refugee. She goes
