Rwanda

Most of the killing was done with machettes, and an estimated 800,000 victims were slaughtered in 3 months. This means that the view that killing on the scale and speed of the Holocaust was only possible in an industrial society, using industrial means, needs rethinking carefully.

Don Cheadle played the character of manager Paul Rusesabagina in the film Hotel Rwanda. The plot revolves around the genocide in Rwanda and he received an Oscar nomination for this role.

For a short while after the Rwandan Genocide people were:

Homeless

Starving

Orphaned

The government (though it took longer to fix) was":

infested with corrupt leaders

or basically in ruins (there was no longer a government

The economy shattered

I read this in a religious magazine of 2003-- "Some have been or still are refugees. Adding to these problems was the sudden eruption of Mount Nyiragongo, a volcano situated not far from the town of Goma. During the morning of January

There are a variety of famous people from Rwanda. These include Mathias Ntawulikura, Charles Ingabire, Yuhi III of Rwanda , as well as Kayumba Nyamwasa.

"The Holocaust" was the name given to the Jewish genocide after the fact. The Rwandan genocide does not have a specific name, but they are both genocides.

One of the major impacts on society because of the Rwandan genocide was the displacement of large populations. Many of the people that left Rwanda never returned.

The very North of the country is around 70 miles from the equator. Rwanda is south of the equator, you would have to travel 70 miles north to reach it, from the northern most point of the country.

He was killed because ha had just betrayed those with whom they had taken the country with....they had decided to make Rwanda a country lead by hutu only, and this is not what Rwandans who had exiled wanted( they wanted to share the power. When Habyarimana agreed to sign the treat his "allies", if i may say, got mad at him and that's when he was killed before he reach the Kigali airport.

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.

In Burundi, I know that they export a bunch of coffee and tea. That's what they make their money on so they can pay for their imports.

The Rwandan Genocide did not stem from a long-established cultural distinction -- actually the two main cultural groups, the Hutus and the Tutsis have very similar cultures including language -- but from European imperialism. From 1922 to 1962 Belgium ruled over Rwanda, claiming the Tutsis as superior and even issuing distinctive identity cards. When Rwanda gained its independence, the ethnic divide didn't go away, and the Hutus felt the need to seek vengeance on being oppressed all those years, forming a dictatorship over the country.

While tension and violence was present -- at this point much of the Tutsi population had been forced out -- the 1994 Rwandan Genocide itself was sparked by the murder of President Juvénal Habyarimana, a Hutu, as his plane was shot down. To do this day it is still not clear who did it; however, the extremist Hutu government blamed the Tutsis and began ordering the killing of every single Tutsi, man, woman and child. Even civilian Hutus were to kill their Tutsi neighbors, or face death themselves. The numbers were horrific: 800,000 killed in just 100 days, mostly Tutsis by Hutus.

Today Rwanda is a primarily peaceful country, although this is because the government is so strict it barely allows any opposing parties or political freedom to exist, a source of contention for many.

Neighboring Burundi had a similar history regarding imperialism and the Belgians, and experienced a Hutu-led genocide in 1972, also killing Hutus who wouldn't side with their rebellion. When Tutsi President Michel Micombero declared martial law and the Tutsis began fighting back, the situation went from killing political officials to any Hutu in sight. In 1993, another mass Tutsi genocide occurred, after the assassination of Hutu President Ndadaye.

As Rwanda and Burundi are neighboring countries, their conflicts affect and influence each other.
