Hutu nationalists spread their messages of hate and violence primarily through Propaganda, including radio broadcasts, pamphlets, and public speeches that dehumanized the Tutsi population and incited fear among the Hutu majority. The infamous Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM) played a crucial role in disseminating inflammatory rhetoric and encouraging violence during the Rwandan Genocide. Additionally, grassroots mobilization and community meetings helped reinforce these messages, creating a pervasive atmosphere of hostility and division.
The Hutus
The violence in April 1994 was part of the Rwandan Genocide, where extremist Hutus targeted Tutsis and moderate Hutus. It resulted in the deaths of an estimated 800,000 people within a period of 100 days. The international community was widely criticized for its failure to intervene and prevent the genocide.
Tutsis & Hutus
The conflict between Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda has historical roots, stemming from colonial divisions that favored Tutsis over Hutus, leading to social and economic disparities. This tension escalated after Rwanda gained independence in 1962, resulting in violence and discrimination against Tutsis by Hutu-led governments. The situation culminated in the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, where extremist Hutu factions targeted Tutsis, leading to the deaths of an estimated 800,000 people in a span of just 100 days. This legacy of hatred and violence continues to affect the dynamics between the two groups today.
Hutus had a radio (RTLM) that broadcasted how the Hutus should kill the Tutsis
Countries such as USA, Europe and China all supplied the Hutus with their weapons
the hutus chopped the tutsis' achiles tendon (at the back of the heel) and left them there. the tutsis couldn't move so the hutus came back later to finish them off.
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.

The tutsis were the victims, so if I understand the question they were the protagonists and the Hutus were the antagonists.
