Well, apart from these names (Hutu, Tutsi) sounding close to curse words, there were valid and interesting information in this document. It appears as if history is repeating itself. Hutu and Tutsi is have been in fighting for years now. They have been fighting for land and identity and it seems as if they are in this rubble presently. The Tutsi are considered to be the rebels. They used to be the upper class in Rwanda and they were slaughtered in 1994 by the Hutu. Almost 1 million of them died.The Tutsi were killed by Hutu who were normally agriculturalists. The Tutsi, on the other hand, were normally cattle farmers.
The Tutsi were scattered all over the world but many returned to Rwanda after the Hutu were kicked out of Rwanda in July 1994.This seems to be an everlasting conflict that has been going on for years.Normally, every ten to fifteen years gap with peace then outbreaks of breaking occur. At times the Tutsi and the Hutu are supported by outside sources, that is, Burundi and Congo respectively.
Tutsi put up a strong fight and removed the Hutu. There were also rapes committed by the Hutu on the Tutsi people. The Tutsi were also fighting for identity in Rwanda. The Hutu in Rwanda were aided by the Hutu in Burundi: Burundi has a lot of Hutu and the Hutu feared that they were going to be under Tutsi rule like the Belgians tried to have race classes and said that the Tutsi were superior to the Hutu but capitalism changed that. Actually, both Burundi and Congo are "in bed" (supporting the Hutu) with the Hutu.
