Ethnic conflicts caused the genocide in that the hutus scapegoated the minority of tutsis with all the issues of the Rwandan state.
The Rwandan genocide teaches us that meaningless conflicts can cause unimaginable tragedy. It is therefore better to focus our attention on loving others, not forcing them conform to our customs or beliefs.
Long-standing ethnic tensions
The Rwandan Civil War took place between 1990 and 1993. Significantly, it was the major cause of the Rwandan Genocide of 1994. In both of those related conflicts, around 900,000 people died.
The Berlin Conference called for the partition of Africa. Germany took possession of Rwanda and Burundi. After World War I, the area was taken over by Belgium. The Belgians proceeded to introduce the 'divide and rule' strategy in the colonies by giving education and advance for the Tutsi only, thus creating their prosperity while taking what that of the Hutus. The Belgians then proceeded to use the Tutsi to enforce their rule. Feelings that were created as a result of these actions led to the eventual Rwandan Genocide.
Some cultural practices have been known to cause a rift between the two countries. There are also certain religious beliefs that may differ and thus cause disagreements.
