Rwanda Genocide

1. Describe the roles (jobs) between the Hutu and Tutsi group.

    Most of the Rwandan population belong to the Hutu ethnic group,Tutsis tended to be landowners and Hutus the people who worked the land;

2. What effect did the European colonists have on them?
     European colonial powers also introduced modern weapons and modern methods of waging war.  Missionaries, too, came from Europe, bringing a new political twist: the church taught the Hutu to see themselves as oppressed, and so helped to inspire revolution.

3. What is the RPF? What group created it?

1990 RPF rebels seized the moment and attacked: civil war began.
They were preparing soldiers to their rebellion!

4. When was the Rwandan president killed? What were Hutu civillians told to do as a result?

On April 6 1994 the plane carrying Rwanda's president was shot down, almost certainly the work of an extremist. The Tutsis were accused of killing the president, and Hutu civilians were told, by radio and word of mouth, that it was their duty to wipe the Tutsis out.

5. What method was used to communicate the plan of genocide against the Tutsis?
The State provided Hutu Power's supporting organisation; politicians, officials, intellectuals and professional soldiers deliberately incited (and where necessary bribed) the killers to do their work. they were improvising in weapons or other things.
