1 The Rwandan Genocide A Civil War Between the Hutus and the Tutsis
2 Rwanda is a land locked country in Central Africa, bordered by Uganda (north), Tanzania (east), Burundi (south) and DRC (west) Long ago, Rwanda and Burundi were one nation. The Hutu and Tutsi lived here.
3 Who are the Hutus & Tutsis Two groups of people that settled in present day Rwanda close to 2000 years ago. Tutsis may have migrated from Ethiopia. United: Developed a single language (Kinyarwanda) One set of religious and philosophical beliefs.
4 Working Together The Hutus and Tutsis farmed and raised livestock. Fertile soil and regular rain There are 11 million people who live in Rwanda today. It is one of Africa s smallest countries in terms of territory only 9,600 square miles but one of the most densely populated.
5 A Division Begins 1700 s: Rwanda is powerful. Wealth measured in cattle. Tutsi were rich in cattle. They were the elite and ruling class. Hutu had less livestock and less power.
6 Physical Appearance Hutus and Tutsis did not usually intermarry. Each developed distinctive features. The Tutsis tall, thin, with narrow features, and fair skin. The Hutus shorter, stronger, with broader features, and darker skin.
7 Colonization Germans arrived in early 1900s Germans protected Rwanda but also exploited it.
8 Colonization Continued After WWI, Germany lost Rwanda. Belgium took control.
9 Belgium Brings Further Division In 1916 the Belgians colonized Rwanda and divided up the tribes. Belgium exploited the class system. Tutsis gained superior status enjoyed better jobs and educational opportunities (lighter skinned, thinner facial features, taller) Hutu deprived privileges of Tutsis, become laboring class (darker, wider facial features, shorter)
10 Why favor Tutsis? Tutsis appeared more European Tall, slender features. Hutus appeared less European.
11 No proof of ethnicity? Belgians would simply measure your physical features. More European = Tutsi. More African = Hutu.
12 Hutus vs. Tutsis The Hutus - majority Considered commoners. The Tutsis minority Considered the elite class Large estates, servants, and many cattle. Hutu 85% Tutsi 14%
13 PARMEHUTU 1959 The Party for the Emancipation of the Hutus. Hutus resist Belgian power and the Tutsi elite. 150,000 Tutsis flee south Burundi was still part of Rwanda.
14 1959 Riots in Rwanda many Tutsis killed or fled to Burgundi, Uganda and Tanzania In the 1960 s Belgium out of Rwanda. Hutus win elections. Hutus take their place as leaders in society & government. Belgium Leaves Rwanda and Burundi split into two different countries.
15 Identification Cards Laws gave special privileges to the Tutsi ID cards distinguish who is who.
16
17 Rwandan Independence 1962 Belgians give Rwanda independence, UN monitored referendum Gregoire Kayibanda ( ) became countries first president, corrupt and weak leader. Ousted through Coup d etat Major General Juvenal Habyarimana ( ) Habyarimana created a one party state, he was elected three times between (only candidate). In 1990 under pressure from Rwanda Civil Society and international groups he created a multiparty democracy
18 Tutsi flee in 1960s Tutsis made scapegoats for problems of Rwanda Angry at past repression, Hutus fight the Tutsis. Many Tutsis are killed. 50% of Tutsis flee.
19 Tutsi Exclusion in 70s and 80s Hutu government policy excludes Tutsi Barred from best universities Barred from many jobs
20 Rwandan Patriotic Front Many Tutsi refugees want to return home In 1986 Habyarimana declared that those who had been expelled in 1982 would not be allowed to repatriate In 1988 the Tutsi refugees declared their right to return. This led to rising militancy in the Ugandabased refugee community Tutsi Refugees and Hutu moderates form Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) RPF seizes power in Uganda 1988.
21 Rwandan Patriotic Front the RPF launched a major attack on Rwanda from Uganda with a force of 7,000 fighters. Because of the RPF attacks (which displaced thousands & a policy of gov t propaganda), all Tutsis inside the country were labeled accomplices of the RPF and Hutu members of the opposition parties were labeled as traitors.
22 Bad Economic times Coffee prices collapse in Hutu government scapegoats Tutsis
23 Igniting Violence Hutu leader, Dr. Leon Mugesera Send the Tutsis back to Ethiopia! Other radical Hutus said Clean up the filth Kill the Tutsi cockroaches.
24 RPF vs. Rwanda Habyarimana's forces successfully repelled the original RPF incursion, in 1990, but the attacks continued for the next two years. As a result Habyarimana was forced to consolidate his political base and use strong-arm tactics against his own population.
25 Negotiations Aug President Habyarimana (a Hutu President) and the RPF. sign a peace accord that calls for a return of Tutsi refugees. It also calls for a and power-sharing agreement 2,500 United Nations troops deploy to oversee the peace accord Although Habyarimana helped broker peace he encouraged churches and media to demonize Tutsi s. Propaganda went out to the masses in regards to Tutsi desire to once again enslave the Hutu
26 Will there be peace? Rwandan president stalls in creating a unified government in which the power is shared. Militias train. Violence intensifies.
27 GENOCIDE
28 GENOCIDE During the years leading up to 1994, human rights groups reported numerous human rights violations in Rwanda to the UN. Training of Militia and distribution of weapons like Machetes were done in the open. Government hate propaganda circulated throughout the country They used to say you have to shorten the Tutsi, who are supposed to be taller than the Hutu. So in Rwanda, when the radio military used to say you have to shorten the Tutsis, everyone understood that you have to kill them.
29 April 6, 1994 Plane carrying President Habyarimana and Burundi president, Cyprien Ntaryamira, is shot down. No one knows who shot down the presidents plane.
30 April 7, 1994 Extremist radio station, Radio Mille Collines: it is time for us to cut down the tall trees. 10 Belgian soldiers and the moderate Hutu PM and torured and killed This began an organized & systematic program for mass extermination
31 Genocide Between April and June of 1994, an estimated 800,000 Rwandans, from the group known as Tutsis, were killed in the span of 100 days Many were tortured or even hacked to death by machetewielding neighbors.
32 Genocide Between April and June of 1994, an estimated 800,000 Rwandans, from the group known as Tutsis, were killed in the span of 100 days Many were tortured or even hacked to death by machetewielding neighbors.
33 The Genocide The Hutu militia, 30,000 strong, slaughtered any Tutsi they could find. They encouraged Hutu civilians to do the same. Hutus were forced to kill their Tutsi neighbors. Some moderate Hutu were also slaughtered.

39 The U.N. Leaves Rwanda too dangerous for UN? The security council upon the urging of the U.S. and Belgium removed peace keeping forces
40 Westerners Out France and Belgium rescue westerners. No Rwandans evacuated Not even employees in western embassies. UN pulls all but 250 peacekeepers out
41 Where was the help? No country sent troops.
42 GENOCIDE????? U.N. Security Council condemns the killing, but omits the word "genocide. Had the term been used, the U.N. would have been legally obliged to act to "revent and punish" the perpetrators After 100 days of killings the international community recognized the extent of the genocide and the effects of their failure to act. May 1998: UN Secretary-General apologized to the Parliament of Rwanda
43 An End to the Genocide In July 1994, the RPF captured the city of Kigali. The Hutu government collapsed. RPF take power & declare a cease-fire 1½ - 2 million Hutu fled to Zaire (Rep. of Congo)
44 A New Government July 19 a new multi-ethnic government formed Promised all refugees safe return to Rwanda. A Hutu, Pasteur Bizimungu, inaugurated as pres. Majority of cabinet posts assigned to Tutsis.
45 Justice for Genocide Rwandan seeks justice for the murder of close to a million people. Many have been found guilty of war crimes. 500 have been executed for their war crimes. 100,000 are still in prison
