What caused the Rwandan Genocide? – Susanne Buckley-Zistel
Dig into the history of the Rwandan Genocide of 1994, during which over one-tenth of the country’s population was killed.

For one hundred days in 1994, the African country of Rwanda suffered a horrific campaign of mass murder. Neighbor turned against neighbor as violence engulfed the region, resulting in the deaths of over one-tenth of…

To clarify, the 800,000 casualties mentioned at minute 3:19 in this video were specifically Tutsi.
This is a genocide inflicted by the european colonialism and materialism especially from germany and belgium.
Coming to the US soon.
the un never had any teeth
Why are whites behind every human war in history.. think about it
May they rest in peace. I have a feeling there’ll soon be videos on “What caused the Palestinian genocide?”
Let's not forget about Romeo Dallairr. ❤

I find it fascinating that the UN didn't acknowledge or stop the situation but was there quickly to punish
And the Gaza invasion is not considered a genocide? Hmmm….
This video has certain phrasing that is really weird. Such as ignoring the Hutu/Tutsi conflict pre colonialism (altho colonialism definitely made it much much worse), or saying the Genocide was so they "stayed in power", ignoring the Genocide was planned for months through the creation of militias and shipment and distribution of machetes with the very well timed assassination of the president (most likely by his wife and her extremist political party). Or the execution of moderates in office inmediately after, or how the government was so hyper focused on genocide the RPF literally just steamrolled through the coutry. The genocide wasnt just a political power grab, it was a singular focus of extermination resulting from racism and hatred.
And it’s for sale!
Colonialism caused this. The end.
France gave weapons to hutsis to kill tutsis and UN too
The West is like a catalysator : it plans, operates everything and remain innocent.
I was 4yrs old when this happened. I was too young to understand what was going on so as I got older I made sure to research and educate myself. I'm so heartbroken! This would have never happened if it wasn't for white colonialism. Rwanda was living in peace before the Europeans invaded and took over. I love my Rwandan brothers and sisters and may God continue to protect and watch over those lost in heaven. ❤
"Leadership refused to acknowledge the genocide taking place" history repeats itself.
Divide and Conquer. The European method of colonization.
😢😢
Unbelievable the worse…
Here’s a great Irish proverb:
“If two neighbors are fighting, there’s an Englishman that has visited one of them yesterday”.
No, they were majority Hutu,, and the FPR and Kagame used to do mass killing and put Hutu in mass graves, so they took the bones from those mass graves and pretended they were Tutsi's. even the DNA could prove them wrong, untruthful, and deceptive! If you don't believe it how Tutsi can be victims and still take power and control everything. The Hutu are more in numbers but they were exterminated and up to now they are stigmatized!
Thanks for this educational piece.
A few clarifications:
1. The correct terminology is not "Rwandan genocide", it is "Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda". Rwandan genocide is used by denialists and revisionists who push the double genocide theory. And yes, Wikipedia got it wrong too. Reference UN resolution 2150(2014).
2. Hutu, Tutsi and Twa were social classes. Hutu (peasants), Tutsi (aristocrats), and Twa (pygmies). It is the colonizers who turned them into ethnicities. Rwanda has the same language and culture. Rwanda only has clans and you find the same clans in Hutu, Tutsi and Twa.
A genocide done by machete, in close quarters is beyond what i can imagine.
Teachers, global autorities and midia promoted a narrative saying that a tribe has opressed another for many years. What could go wrong?
In short:
YT ppl 😂
poor people- everytime ive met a rwandian person they remind me of family
When you don’t want to take accountability blame the Europeans
lol Thanks them for keeping population under control
Don’t blame the division on the whites for this one. They hated each other way before colonization
Since when does ted ed report propaganda 😂
There were no ethnic tensions till colonialism? Really?
It’s colonization. Again
