Who were the victims and aggressors of Rwanda?

It was and remains far more then two rival groups, the Hutu and the Tutsi trying for control in a vacumn left by Belgian withdrawal. The Tutsi were the first to suffer actual genocide. The Hutu had suffered for years under Tutsi domination and Belgium was slow to respond and may have shown a degree of favoritism to the Tutsi who had been their figurehead leadership in the Colonial era. The Catholic Church must also assume some responsibility for failing to provide leadership. The United Naions is equally to blame for its slow response. The aggressors appeared on both sides of the fray as did the victims. Rwanda was unprepared for the responsibility of genuine self government which they wanted and deserved.

It is difficult to say which of the 2 events between the Rwandan genocide or the Holocaust was worst. Both events were atrocious and in both events innocent people died and suffered. In the Holocaust a lot more people died than in the Rwandan genocide, 6 million as opposed to about 1 million, but the Rwandan genocide was a lot shorter than the Holocaust. In events like this you can't say which event was worse than the other one, both were equally bad and nothing like either of these events should ever happen again.
