The Tutsi Tribe Is an East-Central Africa Tribe Located In Rwanda and Burundi. The Hutu's are basically Tutsi slaves and do all of there work while the Tutsi get paid for it. 690,000 people in the tribe.

The conflict between the Tutsi and the Hutus was conducted mainly with machetes.

The Tutsi had some power in Rwanda when in 1963, a Tutsi prime minister was chosen by the monarch. However, in later years, there was a Rwandan civil war which resulted in the death of many of the Tutsi people.

The Tutsi people have traditionally practiced a mix of Christianity, Islam, and indigenous beliefs. Many Tutsi converted to Christianity during colonization, while some retain elements of their indigenous beliefs. There is no single, uniform religion followed by all Tutsi individuals.

The Hutu and the Tutsi, who were in fact the same race, were separated based on their appearances by their foreign, Belgian rulers prior to the genocide. The Hutu were the majority; they where more bulky in build and had darker skin. The Tutsi were taller, with lighter skin, and they made more money. For this reason hate for the Tutsi was common among the Hutu. Prejudiced radio stations were geared toward spreading hate for the Tutsi. The Tutsi were a scapegoat, targeted by the Hutu during difficult times in Rwanda. "Poverty breeds extremism"; for this reason the Hutu were willing to believe that the Tutsi were the root of their problems.
