In the vibrant tapestry of human history, there exist moments of profound darkness, where the hues of despair and cruelty stain the canvas of time. Among these somber chapters stands the Rwandan genocide, a harrowing testament to the fragility of peace and the depths of human brutality.
The roots of the Rwandan genocide stretch back through the annals of time, entwined with a colonial legacy that sowed seeds of division and resentment among its people.

However you can easily imagine a scenario where France at any point would have intervened and put an end to the massacres, but they didn't do that. They prioritized the "Francophonie" before human lives. Other examples of bad action from the French part is what is happening in Sahel right now. Personally, I don't like the Russian involvement there, but the French kind of had it coming, considering their neocolonial and disastrous currency and trade policies there.

Thank you so much for a complete and concise answer to my prayers. My prayers are with you and the continent as a whole. May Yah, our Elohim, continue to shine his face upon Rwanda 🇷🇼, send his angel of protection to your righteous leaders and bless all of your children. Amin.

Look. I understand the popularity of the neo-marxist anti-white sentimentalism in the West which is paralleled by African anticolonialist attitudes. But don't allow that confirmation bias to make you accept this rewrite if history. Before colonialism we Africans were not pacifist hippies that had peace and harmony. They were KINGDOMS! And these kingdoms usually formed through conquest of vulnerable neighbours. Look into the Maasai warriors and how they terrorised their Kikuyu and Kamba neighbours...look into the Baganda kingdom...the Zulu's atrocities, the Dahomey people.. the slave trade which was controlled by African chiefs and leaders. We are not unfortunate victims of the "whites"..... Do not let ideology bling you to the reality that violence and conquest is a human phenomenon, not exclusive to Whites.... we are tempted to be racist again white people only coz they conquered the world more recently...they're just the newest. But even with your Native American tribes, prior to the Pilgrims, were very bloody in conquering other tribes and driving them away, the Mongols, the Persians, even in Indian history, Arabia, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon ETC...ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD! European colonialism had a hand in civilising regions...they drew state borders all over the world, and with that established central government's and put an end to tribal warfare, for the most part,...coz before , we were nation tribes where the dominant tribe members were "superior" to conquered peoples.

This is an excellent compilation of the history of the Rwandan genocide. Conspicuously missing, though, is the courageous exploits of some 800 Ghanaian UN peacekeepers in Rwanda who opted to stay in the heat of the war to protect civilian lives when their colleagues, Belgian and Bangladeshi forces, had withdrawn from peacekeeping in Rwanda. Aside from this unforgivable omission, your compulation is a good piece of information. Great job, overall.

Very informative - thank you! I've just subscribed. Europe and America have an unfortunate tendency to see terrible events such as the Rwanda Genocide as happening in a vacuum, and I think that many people are too lazy to make an effort and learn about the origins of such horrors. The same is true for the Palestine-Israel conflict, for example, and many other situations which are perceived in the "west" as happening spontaneously. Lamentably, there persists in the media a strong bias against African affairs which is at the very least highly disrespectful to hundreds of millions of African citizens and, worse, has echoes of past colonial "superiority". Keep up the excellent work!

The colonists really did a number on Rwanda. There had been a relatively fluid and peaceful working social structure between the Tutsi, Hutu and Twa. People could change their social group or "tribe" by marriage, change of occupation, trade etc. But the colonists implemented a divide and rule system. They perpetuated the psuedo anthropological bs of the "Hamitic Hypothesis" that the Tutsi were Hamitic members of a dark skinned sub group of the "Caucasian race" and used them as their local proxy ruling class, giving them the best educational, employment, land and other advantages to the detriment and deprivation of the other groups, creating tension and resentment and discord that didn't exist before. The end result of that was the tragic episodes that followed

This is interesting. When you try to say that Rwanda has a single language, and maybe culture, but have distinct groups of ethnic groups, you will be told that Rwanda is one indistinguishable group. But when it comes to the genocide, it was against Tutsis, forget the moderate Hutus. When I said that the Congolese say they have a Hutu tribe but no Tutsis, it is said that the Tutsis of Congo are Bsnyamulenge. Someone said that the Congo area of Kivu was always a part of Rwanda and the proof is in the places that have Rwandese names. When I counter that by saying that Kinyarwanda is basically Kihutu and therefore the so called Rwandese names of places in Congo could be as a result of Hutu speaking Congolese, the reply is that the Rwandese are one indistinguishable people with one language. It seems like being one people, or being Hutu, or people Tutsi is conveniently used to further whatever point one wants to make. I hope they will come to a place where they will truly value and respect one another, and forgive each other. I wonder if the Twas get to escape all the disagreements. I would have like to get an idea of what the people of Rwanda say about how they interacted before the colonial era. I think some of their animosity goes back to that era. I saw one article that said that the Tutsis were the Kings and when the king died, he was buried with a Hutu. I don't know if they had to kill the Hutu first, or whether he was buried alive. Is this true?

They were a group of Maasai warriors whom the elders could not handle. They told them to choose land to move into and they went towards Uganda. Actually they were the ones that named Entebbe 'Entepes', a Maasai word for a tray-like curving of wood they watered their cows from the lake. It was fights with Ankole cattle keepers (as they have been called), that took them into Western Uganda and Rwanda since they didn't know the terrain. Over the centuries they adopted the language of the people they found, as well as much of the culture. This is from the world history encyclopedia, which says that Maasai emerged as a result of Israelite men marrying Cushitic women after wars, but later being released since they are from foreign women. Hence the name 'Maasai', who was a Levite. It continues that they migrated South, fighting with and taking more Cushitic women along the way.

We agree with your report, but what you say about President Habyarimana is not true. I was in Rwanda in 1989 where: - Tutsis abd Hutu were living in harmony. - The country was in very good economic shape. - President Habyarimana had a Hutu father and Tutsi mother. - In a Tutsi meeting the intentions of overthrowing President Habyarimana with the help of US Non Government Organizations. - Kagame and other Tutsis had the choice of retuning home peacefully, but he chose armed rebellion to take back the power. He shoot the 1st bullets to kill Hutus. Considering all these facts, we can all agree, there was a war iniated by Kagame, funded by US Presidents Bush Sr and Bill Clinton. Kagame, Musevenyi and Bill Clinton are responsible for the Rwandan massacres of 1994. Bill Clinton, Kagame, Musevenyi are also responsible for the Congo's actual killings and theft of Congolese natural resouces .

Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of DESTROYING that nation or group. According to scholars therefore , Gukurahundi was not a genocide. it was a series of sometimes indiscriminate/mass killings during a time of insurection in the matebeleland and midlands region. to add context 500k-1mil people died in approx 100 days during the Rwandan genocide whereas. over 4 years 20k people died during the gukurahundi massacres.

I really don't think you explained how scientific racism played a role in this. Weren't the Tutsi said to be preferable because they were supposedly more like Europeans? I think it's important because although this happened long after the abolition of slavery, it is the abolition of slavery using humanitarianism that lead to this. It's quite similar to how Europeans used to go to Asia and even the Americas and give away black people as slaves creating a racial hierarchy in which the African was the lowest and the non white person could feel ok to comply with white people because he was in the middle, even when archaeological evidence proves that this is not accurate in terms of cultural development. It's a divide and conquer tactic and it's why people refuse to believe that Africans were not primitive nor was Africa "discovered" when the transatlantic slave trade began.

I’m not from Rwanda, so I’m, just, a pan-Afrikan who has been doing a lot of researches and visits in that troubled area of our beloved continent so as to know the truth, and if possible, suggest solutions. From my decades long research on this issue, I can tell you that this here is the version of one side. The one’s in power = our brothers tut.. when you confront both sides narratives by considering historical facts, data, documents, and officers of both sides testimonies, the truth is that the seed of division and frustration in Rwanda are pre-colonial although the Belgian colonizers exacerbated it. 2. The signs of catastrophy were known by all involved and the UN commander specifically informed P. Kaga against doing any wrong move that could enable the disaster because negotiations were going in advantage of the RPF. Despite this, the RPF shot down the Habyarimana presidential jet killing 2 hutus president and other officials igniting the already dangerous situation. That’s why the prosecutor Carla Del Ponte was about to charge the RPF if it was not for U.S intervention and personal pressure from then U.S. president Bill Clint@ 3. Although investigating crimes committed by the side in power, currently, was so difficult, many unbiased researchers conclude that both sides committed unspeakable killings with some, even, proving through satellite data and census that many victims might have been hutus than tut$ (Christian Devenport: Rethinking Rwanda 1994) That’s why, also, the U.S calls it the Rwandan Genocide.

The failure to jam radio transmissions during the Rwandan Genocide is a stark example of the international community's negligence. Despite having the technical capability to easily disrupt the hate-filled broadcasts fueling the genocide, no action was taken. This inaction allowed the radio's role in coordinating violence to continue unchecked. The ability to interfere with these broadcasts represented a minimal-risk intervention that could have potentially saved lives. Choosing not to utilize this viable option was not only a missed opportunity but a shameful lapse in moral duty by those who had the means to make a difference yet stood by.

Very well explained. One less known fact is that Hutu, Tutsi and Twa were social classes and not ethnicities. As you know, ethnicities are characterized by different language, culture, etc. All these are shared by Hutu, Tutsi and Twa. Rwanda instead has clans: Abasinga, Abagesera, Abagesera, etc. You can find all these clans in Hutu, Tutsi and Twa. Tutsis were the aristocracy, Hutus where the peasants, Twas were pygmies. People could move up or down the social ladder like anywhere else in the world. You could lose your aristocracy status when falling out with the King (from Tutsi to Hutu), or gain the aristocracy status as a reward from the King (from Hutu to Tutsi). In rare instances, Twas could also move up. Colonizers who found it easy to divide and rule elsewhere in Africa, were confused by the Rwandan social structure and took the easy road by changing social classes into ethnicities. And boy, were they successful! That's when they reinvented the history of Rwanda by saying Twas arrived first, then Hutus and later Tutsis.

@@giselebelole4146 It's not only about killing. It's the intententional destruction of a group of people. The Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda was a government-supported nationwide project with the unique purpose of of destroying every Tutsi in Rwanda. That was the only one Genocide. Either you don't understand what is a genocide or you deny it saying it was a civil war between two group of people. Courageous Hutu people disagreeing with the project were also killed and some RPF soldiers got revenge themselves, but that is it.

This kind of thing is why I follow your channel. I'm from North America and the only African history we study is the colonial period. Hearing the story from someone who is African makes a big difference. The only book on Rwanda I've ever read that was even remotely insightful that was written by a white person is Philip Gourevitch's "We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families," which was galvanizing - but hearing the story from African people matters most.

Idk getting your sources from africans sounds good at first but you have to remember that this is a highly polarising topic and local journalists can be biased, its kinda like reading about the yugoslav wars only from locals and let me tell you from personal experience those accounts will be biased. So in this case I think unbiased outsider sources can be better but you can also try to seek out writers from both hutu and tutsi side to get the full picture.

After all the immensive divisions, there was still vacancy for a union, just imagine! Obviously, nothing is impossible, if one has the right vision! Gradually the harvest will come, and we can then eat the various fruits from our collective labour. Thanks for the insight of such a cruel and destructive past yet a confidential hope and optimism for a great, productive, happy and prosperous near future. As it had been said "War is not the answer, only love can conquer!" Harambe!!! Amandla!!!
