Rwanda

There is a very long history of conflict in Rwanda which was first settled by Hutu people from the tenth century, but from the fourteenth century they became dominated by the Tutsu people migrating to the area. They established a monarchy in the fifteenth century and then a unified state in the late nineteenth century. So this very prolonged historic dominance of the majority Hutus by the minority Tutus is the root cause of the bitterness between these two ethnic groups in Rwanda which has dominated Rwanda's whole history.

Bitterness intensified in 1959 when the Belgian Mandate was in control when the Hutu population rebelled against Tutsu domination resulting in the King and 150,000 Tutus fleeing Rwanda. Rwanda then became a Republic in 1961 and achieved independence in July 1962 under a Hutu President. But he was overthrown in 1973 in a military coup led by Major General Juvenai Habyarimana who took over as President.

After armed Tutsu exiles repeatedly attempted to invade Rwanda in the 1960s and 70s but were repulsed by the Hutu army, continued conflict left thousands dead over a period of ten years. Then in October 1990 they again invaded the country taking control of parts of north Rwanda. The Rwanda government reneged on a 1992 peace agreement and the Tutsu led Rwanda Patriotic Front or FPR advanced on Kigali and forced government to recommence negotiations.

Then after President Habyarimana died in a plane crash, this sparked off the most terrible massacre of both the Tutsu minority and moderate Hutus by the army and militia. 800,000 were massacred in 3 months, millions fleeing to neighbouring countries. A government report in 2002 stated 1,074,017 people, of whom 93% were Tutsus were killed between 1990 and 1994. the country has since achieved relative stability under the FPR but bitterness between the two peoples remains below the surface.

After the Rwandan President's plane was shot down in 1994 it caused the the Hutu's to rebel, 6,000 strong in the violent executions of the Tutsis. It wasn't until 1996 that the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) seized control of the country and the killings stops. 1994-1996

They need a strong leader who can unite the Rawandan people.

The Tutsis lost 800,000 to 1 million people, massacred by the Hutus. More Tutsis lived in a country near Rwanda and their rebel group(the Rwandan Patriotic Front) attacked and gained control of Rwanda. The Hutus fled to Congo and the surrounding areas to live in refuge camps. At first they boasted about their killing but later found that it was risky business. Tutsi survivors in Rwanda wanted to bring the guilty to court but the Hutu aids wouldn't and couldn't separate killers and the non-killers. In Arusha, Tanzania, International War Crimes Tribunal has set up a system to try the genocide leaders, at this point there has been many leaders found guilty, but without death penalty and 40 more to be tried. At the end of 2001 around 125,000 prisoners, crammed into overcrowded jails, still remained to be tried.

They realized they could do nothing to stop it and wanted to bring their own people to safety.

I think it's because the Tutsis and Hutus were evacuated by the Americans. But the genocide hasn't actually stoped. People are still being killed.That might be the answer.

The genocide took place in the context of the Rwandan Civil War, an ongoing conflict beginning in 1990 between the Hutu-led government and the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), which was largely composed of Tutsi refugees whose families had fled to Uganda following earlier waves of Hutu violence against the Tutsi. Most of the dead were Tutsis and most of those who perpetrated the violence were Hutus. The genocide was sparked by the death of the Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, when his plane was shot down above Kigali airport on 6 April 1994.

He saved more than a thousand people during the Rwandan genocide, the precise number people saved being 1 268 people.

The Rwandan Genocide began in April of 1994 between the two main ethnic groups in Rwanda: the Hutus and the Tutsis. Its estimated that 800,000 of the minority Tutsis were killed by the Hutu militia during the 100 days that the genocide lasted.

The tribe that was targeted were the Tutsis. They were targeted by the Hutus. The Hutus hated the Tutsis and the Tutsis hated the Hutus. After the president was shot down in a plane the whole government fell apart and the Hutus took over the goverment and tragically started taking out Tutsis.

During April and June 1994, the Rwandan genocide took place over a period of 100 days. Mostly Tutsis were killed, although a Hutu who refused to kill a Tutsi (that could be part of his own family, like in Hotel Rwanda) was usually killed on the spot. The number of people massacred is generally accepted to be 800,000, although every organization has its own estimate.

Firstly, keeping the minority from ruling without the support of the whole public. Also, Britain could have kept it as a colony, and send troops when it looks like a massacre is to happen. Or, splitting Rwanda into two states, one with a Hutu majority and another with a Tutsi majority.
