James Tang Yes but we'll need to see how it turns out many years later, trust me, many new political leaders seem nice at first but it's too early to predict what will happen in the future. Kagame has done an immensely great job for the past almost 2 decades for Rwanda, I'll give him that. It's not easy to keep the country from tearing each other apart after what just happened, let alone helping perpetrators and survivors to effectively reconcile. Yet he still hasn't revert some policies on cracking down on his political opponents. Robert Mugabe was once also a promising politician too, he promoted reconciliation between blacks and whites in Zimbabwe after their independence but as the years went by he became an ignorant, senile old man who violently confiscated white farmer's lands and running his country's economy to the ground. He refused to step down until forced to do so by his former allies who paint themselves as liberators but are also corrupt and power hungry politicians themselves. I just hope Paul Kagame could keep up the good work, it's never easy to run a country especially a war torn one like Rwanda, maybe he would become one of the best African presidents we ever know, still hard to tell though.

Now Kigali is the cleanest city in Africa, and the nation is growing fast. Rwanda still has a long way to go, but they are well on their way.

Broheim Rwanda is still an authoritarian dictatorship under kagame, the country has thousands of political prisoners imprisoned on flimsy charges, even the international community that was so sympathetic to Kagame after the genocide is calling him out for this repression. The parliament which has such a high proportion of women is basically a rubber stamp. And even though the economy is doing well much of the post-genocide growth is just from the repatriation of Tutsi refugees and the use of illegally seized Congolese diamond mines to bolster state income.

I learned about this in my International Human Rights class in university, and I read a book called "We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our families" by Philip Gourevitch. The book is an interesting read in that it inserts you directly into a first-person experience of the turmoil and terror of the Rwandan Genocide, but it is expresses by a journalist who traveled to Rwanda. I find the motivation for the genocide to be very interesting to think about. The two races, from an outsider's perspective, seemed to be fully integrated into each other, yet they still saw differences between each other. There is more to it than that. but that aspect stands out to me. Anyway, thank you for reading this if you did, and i appreciate this video a lot.

Some divisions can be dangerous even when there seems to be no consensus on their nature. For example, here’s some of the court testimony from a genocide convict during an appeals hearing in France on 5/4/18: Prosecutor: What is the meaning of Hutu and Tutsi? Defendant: I don’t know. It's ethnicity, but it has little meaning to me. I only learned about it in high school. No one had ever said anything to me about it before that. Now the man was born in 1950, he was a young teenager at the time of Rwanda’s independence, but until high school he had never heard of this Hutu-Tutsi business.

Mostly the complication comes from the presentation, not the reality itself. The reality is that in the 1960s the colonial administration forcibly put local criminals into power. These never stopped doing what came to them naturally, until they exterminated 80% of their targeted population in 1994. Not much complication there.

Today is the 56th anniversary of one of the most horrifying episodes of the genocide against the Tutsi population in Rwanda. Here’s a contemporaneous account of what a French missionary priest, Henri Bazot, witnessed in the province where he officiated: “On the 25th of December 1963, in the afternoon, there was a plan of repression, which was to exterminate purely and simply the entire Tutsi population of a whole prefecture [i.e. a province], that of Gikongoro. All Hutus, Christians and pagans, catechists and catechumens, attacked the unfortunate Tutsis; they operated in groups of about a hundred people, led by "propagandists" of the ruling party [named Parmehutu], with the blessing of the authorities. This time, the goal was not to loot but to kill, to exterminate everything that was called Tutsi.” What is being described here is genocide, not war, because there’s no fighting - just the wholesale extermination of a natural human population.

The difference between Hutu and Tutsi is more than just class. They do, indeed, descend from groups from different parts of Africa (Hutus more West African and Tutsis more East African). They have since become greatly mixed but anyone who is has seen enough people from each group can tell that they have some obvious differences in ancestry. I compare it to East Asians and Southeast Asians. You can tell they're strongly related but there is more South Asian ancestry in the SE Asian groups. In Rwanda, like with everywhere else in the world, race/ethnicity is a gradient. The class distinctions between Hutu and Tutsi emerged from the power differential that happened to exist when the two groups met. This history was exploited by the German and, later, Belgian colonizers to conquer the Rwandan/Burundian kingdom. They first reinforced Tutsi dominance when the Tutsis were cooperating and then later intentionally flipped the dynamic when the Tutsi population started espousing anti-colonial views. Naturally, this resulted in a great deal of cultural/societal stress that culminated in the 1994 genocide (with many smaller clashes preceding).

@@sorcererberoll4641 South Africa fought against the ANC and SWAPO in what is now Namibia. SWAPO, or the South West Africa People's Organization, was a group that fought for the independence of Namibia and now a modern day political party. The rebels had the support of Angola, Cuba, and of course the Soviet Union, while Portugal supported SA. Ultimately, SWAPO achieved its political goals and Namibia gained independence by 1990.
