What is a summary of about rwandan genocide?

Answer 1

The Rwandan Genocide was the 1994 mass murder of an estimated 800,000 people in the small East African nation of Rwanda. It happened over the course of approximately 100 days and started with the assassination of Juvénal Habyarimana on April 6. It was the culmination of longstanding ethnic competition and tensions between the minority Tutsi, who had controlled power for centuries, and the majority Hutu peoples, who had come to power in the rebellion of 1959-1962 and overthrown the Tutsi monarchy.

Answer 2

Well, there are two tribes in Rwanda, the Hutu's and the Tutu's. Both followed the same kind of traditions and looked the same.

However, when the Belgium's came to Rwanda they favoured the Tutu's to the Hutu's and therefore caused the two tribes to resent each other. The Belgium gave I.D cards to everyone so they could identify who belonged to which tribe.

The Belgium left and the Tutsi's were left to better houses, food and quality of life. (However the tribes were not completely separate and many Hutu's were still married to Tutsis and had children.) Some Hutus wanted to kill all the Tutsis. Hutu rebelions started and the president of Rwanda agreed to sign a peace contract with rebels (The president was a Hutu) However, his plane was shot down by unidentified people when he was traveling to sign the agreement. The Hutus blamed the Tutsis and two groups called the Interahamwe and the Impuza started mass killing of Tutsis.

Almost 1million people were killed over the 100 days.
