Genocide in Rwanda 1994

Where is Rwanda?

1884 Berlin Conference Colonizing powers divided up Africa into 50 countries No regard to ethnicity, tribe, languages, or religion Result: conflict and fighting over boundaries in the future

After World War I Belgium gains control of Rwanda and implements system of racial classification Tutsis were more white looking and put in positions of authority (15%) Hutus were discriminated against and made second class citizens

Hutus and Tutsis

1959 Revolt Hutus overthrow Tutsi government and elect a Hutu president Mass killing of Tutsis takes place at this time- thousands killed or flee the country

Lead up to 1994 Genocide Hate messages spread on the radio (Tutsis are called “cockroaches”) Hutu radicals are meeting and distributing weapons (machetes) Hate propaganda and death lists are distributed Hutu president’s plane is shot down and Tutsis are blames (probably done by Hutu)

April 1994- The Genocide Begins The Hutu militia (Interhamwe) and civilians begin the massacre of 800,000 to 1 million Tutsis and moderate Hutus (mostly with machetes) 250,000 women raped

The Failure of the UN and US UN and US pass UNAMIR- United Nations Mission Assistance in Rwanda Sent peacekeeping troops Failed to do anything to stop or prevent the genocide

Why doesn’t the US help The United States is still thinking about Somalia- we don’t want any part of third world country nation building

The Genocide Ends Genocide lasts 100 days Tutsis take back control of the country Hutus flee to the Congo Rwandan genocide trials Why didn’t the international community help more? Why didn’t the US help more? What did we learn?
