Many States in Africa have the issues of ethnic and class cleavages escalating that resulted in very harsh warfare. Not many governments of African states that had these events in history that lead to mass deaths and population and/or citizen rate decrease influenced the violence. Two ethnic groups made a large mark in African history in this outcry‚ the Hutu’s and the Tusti’s. The two native tribes were some of the first inhibitors of the areas they were utmost popular in and had history that led

The Rwandan people‚ which consist of the Twa‚ the Tutsi and the Hutu‚ all speak the same language and had been living together with only minor conflict between the groups until 1959 (“Rwanda genocide of 1994”). In 1959‚ tensions flared when the Hutu people attacked the Tutsi in retaliation for the Tutsi supposedly killing a Hutu leader (“Rwanda genocide of 1994”). Over the next thirty-five years‚ the Hutu abolished the Tutsi monarchy and rose to power (“Rwanda genocide of 1994”). The

The reason why I say it made me feel sick was because the way the Tutsis were being killed and how no one ever stepped into help them out. In fact‚ the way that the Clinton administration did nothing to help them out because he had lost a lot of American soldiers in Somalia and they were in fear of losing so men more men

the Rwanda genocide occurred. The history behind this was the resentment of being inferior. When Belgium claimed Rwanda and surrounding areas for German East Africa in about 1924‚ there became tension between two tribes. The Belgiums favored the Tutsi (which were 12% of the population) and the Hutu (85% of population) grew angry for being considered inferior.

They planned to kill the minority‚ Tutsi‚ or anyone who opposed their genocidal intentions.
