Best Answer

Rwanda, while under Dutch control, was an established colonial state. A minority group, the "Tutsis", were given special status and privileges over the majority ethnic group, the "Hutus", by the Dutch colonial powers in exchange for collaboration. Many Tutsis abused their position and repressed the Hutus. After Rwanda gained independence, the Hutu government began a program to oppress the Tutsis, some of whom began a rebellion against the Hutus. After the moderate vice-president of Rwanda was killed by the Rebels, radical Hutus incited a massive country-wide mob to begin the ethnic cleansing of the Tutsis. This is known as the "Rwandan Genocide", which eventually prompted UN intervention, although not until the end of the genocide.

The civil war and genocide only ended when the Tutsi-dominated rebel group, the RPF, defeated the Hutu perpetrator regime and President Paul Kagame took control.
