Hutus would be given terrible land to farm, while Tutsis were given good land for grazing cattle. From Hutus’ perspective, they felt discriminated against from Tutsis due to their ethnic counterpart receiving many rewards from the village leaders.

When the German soldiers arrived in Rwanda, the soldiers left Tutsi’ Chieftains in charge of the country while they proceeded to take of advantage

Warnings play a very important role in the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare and the Rwandan Genocide in 1994. The omens and nightmares in the play foreshadow the death of Julius Caesar that later resulted to chaos in Rome. The events that lead to the assassination of Julius Caesar are predicted by omens from characters such as his wife Calphurnia, the Soothsayer, Artemidorus and from the environment. Similarly, many warnings in the Rwanda history triggered the genocidal slaughter, the Rwandan

800,000 people. Those targeted were primarily of the Tutsi ethnic group, but Hutu moderates were also slaughtered en masse. The Rwandan Genocide, as well as the historical causes of it and the ongoing reparations that follow, are perfect examples of conflict and compromise in history. In order to better explain why this deadly event took place, it is vital to understand the history of Rwanda and of the Hutu and Tutsi peoples. The Hutu and Tutsi people occupy what are now Rwanda and Burundi. The

The Rwandan Genocide: 100 Days of Mass Slaughter “Seldom in history has a once-dominant group suffered so terrible a reversal of fortune as the Tutsi of Rwanda”- Robin Hallet. The event that Robin Hallet is referring to is the Rwandan Genocide, the “genocidal mass slaughter” of the Tutsi (the minority group in Rwanda) and a few Hutu (the dominant group in Rwanda) by “members of the Hutu majority,” which resulted in at least 1 million Rwandan deaths. The Rwandan Genocide was indirectly caused by

Even though the movie mostly covers one of the major causes of the massacre, which is the ethnic tension between the Tutsis and Hutus, there is still room for error. Despite some preconceived misconceptions about Rwandan history, the residents of Rwanda as well as the countries surrounding it have a past that is intricate as well as delicate, so undoubtedly the movie seems to include some simplified interpretations of the real life massacre. For example, communication between a Rwandan civilian and

One side of the divide indicates an “ethnic” diversity based partially on occupational status – a patron/client relationship and also the ancestral lineage of Hutu and Tutsi.
