Also, they brought machetes and slashed and stabbed them. If they were women, they were often raped and had their genitals cut out. From what I am reading now, is that they were often killed with bamboo sticks in graphically violent ways and removed the fetuses from pregnant women and forced them to eat it. Not sure if its doing the Rwanda situation but if you want information have a look at the work of Liisa Malkki 1995
The Hutus
Hutus and Tutsis
The Hutus were told to kill the Tutsi population by the Hutus controlling Rwanadan radio,and the Hutus take up 84% of the Rwanda Pop., and the Tutsis only 14%. So the Tutsis didn't really stand a chance
The author of "Conflict in Rwanda" asserts the root of the civil war was a result of ethnic hatred. During the colonial times, the Tutsi's were considered superior to the Hutus, creating jealousy and hatred. Also, the Tutsi traditionally grew cattle, much more lucrative than the simple farming of the Hutus.

RWANDA
The tribe that was targeted were the Tutsis. They were targeted by the Hutus. The Hutus hated the Tutsis and the Tutsis hated the Hutus. After the president was shot down in a plane the whole government fell apart and the Hutus took over the goverment and tragically started taking out Tutsis.
death
The Belgians put the Tutsi monarchy in charge of Rwanda during their colonial rule, which began after World War I. They favored the Tutsi minority over the Hutu majority, granting the Tutsi political and social privileges. This decision sowed the seeds of ethnic division and tension between the Hutus and Tutsis, which would later contribute to significant conflict in the region, including the Rwandan Genocide in 1994.
Yes, historically, the Hutu population has been larger than the Tutsi population in Rwanda. Before the 1994 genocide, estimates suggested that Hutus made up about 85% of the population, while Tutsis accounted for around 14%. However, the exact numbers can vary due to factors such as migration, demographic changes, and the impact of the genocide, which significantly affected the Tutsi population.
The conflict between the Tutsi and the Hutus was conducted mainly with machetes.
the war was started when a plane was shot down.the president of rwanda and the president of burundi were in that plane.....the president of rwanda was the guy who kept order there.rwanda is the state the hutus and tutsis occupy. so when there was no one in control the tutsis took over and ran the state for awhile.and the hutus didnt like it.so it is basically a war for control over the state.
