The nature of the conflict between these two groups is that in history the Belgium’s decided to take the Tutsi people under their guide and assisted them and not the Hutu people. The Hutu people had been oppressed and due to anger and frustration and once the Belgium’s left power the Hutu people took that as a open door to express there years of suppressed aggression.
The sources of the ethnical conflict arose from indirect separation and segregation. They believed that the Tutsi people were less than people and were worthless.
The nature of Paul’s conflict is that he is on the Hutu ethnical side but he tries to save as many Tutsi people as possible. He was given a Hutu shirt and he bought considerable amounts of supplies from the rebels themselves. Paul tried to stay as natural as possible but his family and friends were Tutsi and he could not see them killed. His wife and children Tutsi caused many issues. The Hutu rebels wanted all Tutsi people to be killed no exceptions and Paul did everything that he could to save everybody. He took money and expensive drinks from the hotels vaults to pay for as many live as possible.
Paul’s ethnical Hutu background could have been negative but he used it to his advantage as much as he could to save as many people as he could.
