    Peter Uvin’s Reading the Rwandan Genocide focuses on many aspects of the genocide and the viewpoint of a couple scholars. The journal's thesis is to analyses what led Rwanda to the mass killing of Tutsi and questions the role of the international community, through explaining the thesis, Uvin touches upon the main idea of this literature review to figure out the role of the Hutu elites and how the colonial period impacted the politics and divide within the main tribes.Uvin argues that the most acceptable theory for the Rwandan genocide is the drive from the Hutu elites to maintain the political control. After the Rwandan independence from Belgium, many events have jeopardized the hutu;s right to rule from the late 1980s economic crisis, the…

    In conclusion, it is clear that there are many contributing factors that acted as a catalyst to the Rwandan genocide. During a time where political instability was the only type of political structure, it is apparent that the rise of anti-political groups, propaganda meant to influence civilians towards taking a side, and colonial oppression causing a polarizing between the Hutus and Tutsis, all played a large role in the start of the genocide. Despite this, it is apparent that there was not one cause, but instead a melting pot of different issues that spilled over into greater…

    Kingsley Moghalu claims the Rwandan genocide was indirectly the result of European colonialism in Africa.1 The first part of this essay will attempt to show that Moghalu is right in this claim, as the ethnic rivalry between the Hutu and Tutsi peoples began during and because of the Belgian administration between 1919 and 1962. It will also provide an outline of the events that led up to the genocide, showing how mutual distrust and aggression between Tutsis and Hutus triggered the genocide. The second part will be an analysis of the social and political conditions after the genocide, to develop an understanding of how Rwandan society has coped with what happened in 1994, and to show that the impact the genocide has had on Rwanda has been both positive and negative. The third part will analyse the judicial response from the international community and the domestic justice system to show how effective each was in achieving reconciliation and a unified Rwanda.…

    I believe that people’s identity and view of the world is often shaped by the culture lived in and the history that surrounds that culture. Thus, when examining the variables involved that led to the Rwandan Genocide, it is important to consider the history and culture of Rwanda. Throughout the history of Rwanda,…

    Alice Ingabire-Schaut came to the United States in 1998 from a Tutsi tribe in Rwanda, which is in central Africa. Even though Alice is from Rwanda, she spent most of her childhood as a political refugee in Uganda. In 1994, the Hutu government that ruled Rwanda, killed thousands of Tutsis and then collapsed when the rebels attacked. Alice had joined many Tutsis that were flooding back into their homelands. When she returned, the air smelled of death and the economy was in ruins. Her mother’s family ended up in a camp in Uganda during the war, and it was a miserable place. The land was poor, there were no streets or houses. The refugees had to cut down trees to create living spaces for themselves and their families. They built and lived in mud huts with thatched roofs and there was no electricity, no water and there weren’t even outhouses. Diseases such as cholera, sleeping sickness and malaria spread rapidly and since there was no medical care, many died. Life was difficult for Alice and her family, and Alice eventually found a way out through her education. She received a scholarship to a school in Wisconsin and studied there for college. This is the way most immigrants from Rwanda found a way out of the terrible situation in their homeland. Many children received scholarships to schools in America and once there they found jobs and sent part of their money earned back to their families in Rwanda to help them survive.…
