Why is there genocide in Rwanda?
In February of 1994, the president of rwanda, who was a hutu, named habyrimana (spelling?) was in a plane when it was shot down, and the hutu extremists, who did not like the tutsi, used this as an excuse to start mass killing on the tutsis, because they blamed them for the killing. this, however, was not the probable case. it is more likely that the plane was shot down by hutus who did not like the fact that habyrimana was working on a peace treaty with the tutsis. this is not the only proof of this; before the plane was shot down, radio stations would call tutsis cockroaches, and talk about killing them. it is more likely that the whole thing was planned, and they wanted to have ethnic cleansing agaist the tutsis, and this gave them the excuse. of course, before this happened, you have the british who controlled the area before, and allowed the tutsis, who were the minority, to rule the government, so most of this was started when they put them in power and eventually left, and the government went to the majority hutus, who wanted revenge.
