Most Tutsi's weren't able to escape the country, but there were probably 200,000-300,000 Tutsi refugees, however after the resurgence of the Tutsi rebels over 2 million Hutus (the group doing the killing) fled into the Democratic Republic of the Congo fearing retaliation.
The Tutsi's in the Rwandan Genocide They didn't harm the Hutu's even though the Hutu's were killing their people
The Tutsi Tribe Is an East-Central Africa Tribe Located In Rwanda and Burundi. The Hutu's are basically Tutsi slaves and do all of there work while the Tutsi get paid for it. 690,000 people in the tribe.
The conflict between the Tutsi and the Hutus was conducted mainly with machetes.
The Tutsi had some power in Rwanda when in 1963, a Tutsi prime minister was chosen by the monarch. However, in later years, there was a Rwandan civil war which resulted in the death of many of the Tutsi people.
...Start Killing was created on 2004-05-04.
before the genocide, the Hutu's and the Tutsi's lived together and even married each other, however, there had always been disagreements between the two tribes. traditionally, the Tutsi's ruled the country, but the Hutu's didn't really like the idea as the Tutsi's were only ruling the country because they were the much bigger tribe. the killing was sparked by the death of the Rwandan president, a Hutu. his plane was shot down on April 6 1994, and the Hut's assumed that it was the Tutsi's who killed him, therefore, it sparked the genocide, but to this day, no one is sure who shot down the plane.
The Tutsi people have traditionally practiced a mix of Christianity, Islam, and indigenous beliefs. Many Tutsi converted to Christianity during colonization, while some retain elements of their indigenous beliefs. There is no single, uniform religion followed by all Tutsi individuals.
The Hutu and the Tutsi, who were in fact the same race, were separated based on their appearances by their foreign, Belgian rulers prior to the genocide. The Hutu were the majority; they where more bulky in build and had darker skin. The Tutsi were taller, with lighter skin, and they made more money. For this reason hate for the Tutsi was common among the Hutu. Prejudiced radio stations were geared toward spreading hate for the Tutsi. The Tutsi were a scapegoat, targeted by the Hutu during difficult times in Rwanda. "Poverty breeds extremism"; for this reason the Hutu were willing to believe that the Tutsi were the root of their problems.
On the radio the hotel manager hears the announcer say the president has die he was in his plane and it was shot down. Then the Hutu's began taking over and killing Tutsi's.
