Social

When Belgian and German colonizers came to Rwanda, they managed to pit the two ethnic groups, the Hutus and the Tutsis, against each other. In 1994 when the plan of the Hutu-Rwandan president was shot down, the Hutus responded by killing the Tutsis in masses.

Mass atrocity

The Tutsi-led RPF attacked Rwanda which started the civil war. this made all tutsi seen as enemies of the state and they were brutally slaughtered thanks to it. Almost 3/4th of the Tutsi population died in this genocide
