Rwanda (Part 1): 1 million people were killed in 100 days, what is the deep hatred of the people of the same country?

On April 7, 1994, the worst genocide in human history broke out in Rwanda, a small African country that was not yet the size of Hainan Province. Millions of Hutus swarmed, led by the army and police, to slash and kill Tutsis. Poor Tutsis are like lambs thrown into a pack of wolves, hiding left and right. The Radio of Rwanda called on all fools to come out and slaughter all Tutsis day and night, turning the whole of Rwanda into a hell on earth.

Within three months, between 800,000 and 1 million people in Rwanda had been killed with machetes by Hutu soldiers, and 1/8 of the country's population was missing. Most of the victims were Tutsis, including some moderate fools who opposed the Holocaust. 1 million people were disabled in 100 days. Hutu and Tutsi have lived in Rwanda for hundreds of years. What do they think? Why do they have to fight for the outcome of your life and death?

In fact, the earliest Rwanda did not have the concept of nationality. As you can see today, Rwanda is located in the central and eastern part of East Africa, bordering congo, Burundi and Uganda, with an area of about 26,000 square kilometers and a population of about 12 million. As early as the 11th century, the country of Rwanda appeared on the map. The inhabitants of Rwanda at the time, called the Bantu, had immigrated from the Congo. Around the 12th century, another group of people migrated from Egypt to Rwanda, and they were known as the Neroes. What about Egypt since the thirteenth century? Locke has a strong influence in Rwanda and dominates the Kingdom of Rwanda. The Nilots came from the north and the Bantus came from the south. After nearly a thousand years of mixed living and marriage, there is little difference between them. It can be said that they are a race. Since it is a race, how did the ancient and Tutsi people come from? The word "zai" refers to the owner of the great ranchery, and the word "sloppy" refers to the countrymen and people who behave rudely. In general, it is the distinction between local tycoons and turtles. The Tutsis were the ruling class in Rwanda at the time.

They are generally very wealthy, and there are herds of cattle and sheep in the family. They are taller and have whiter skin. The Hutu were the ruling class in Rwanda at the time. Most of them work in agriculture. They are slightly shorter and have slightly darker skin. Because they are all black, in fact, there is not much difference in appearance, and the distinction between identity mainly depends on the situation of rich and poor. When a Hutu is rich enough, especially with enough cattle, he becomes a Tutsi. When a Tutsi lost his wealth, especially his cattle, he became a Hutu again. At this time, there was no strict ethnic distinction between Hutu and Tutsi, there were contradictions, but they were not very sharp. However, once this contradiction is exploited by foreign aggressors with ulterior motives, there is no doubt that Rwanda will become a divided country. Rwanda began to form a tribal state in the 15th century, and a unified feudal dynasty was established in the 16th century. After the Berlin Conference of West Africa in 1884, Rwanda began to be colonized by Germany. In 1890, it became a German-owned Protectorate of East Africa, ending World War I.

Germany's overseas colonies were divided among foreign powers, and Rwanda became a Belgian colony. In order to maintain its rule, Belgium treated the Tutsi and Hutu as two peoples. How exactly did they do it? Belgians were taller, darker-skinned and less numerous Tutsi spoke for them, and Tutsis were given important positions in the colonial government. There were more Tutsis, and the confused people in black shoes were classified as ruling the lower classes. In 1933, in order to form a three-tier pyramid structure of Belgians, Tutsi and Hutu in Rwanda, the Belgians conducted a national census. Because both Hutu and Tutsi are black, there is no obvious difference in appearance. For this reason, the Belgians introduced scientific measurement methods to accurately measure the height, weight, bridge of the nose, and the width of the nose and neck of Rwandans as the basis for ethnic division. What if the data is similar but still indistinguishable? It depends on their cattle. A person who has ten or more cows in his home.

There are not enough cattle in Wuxi. Sorry, you're an inferior Hutu. Between brothers, if one has ten cows and the other has nine, then the one with ten cows is the Tutsi, and the one with nine cows is classified as Hutu. If there is not much difference in wealth, tall and short people will be classified as different nationalities. After dividing ethnic groups according to appearance, height and wealth, Belgians require all Rwandans to carry an identity card with them, making it clear whether they belong to Hutus or Tutsi. Of course, nationality is only the first step, and the real tricks of the Belgians are still to come. The Belgians gave two peoples a different education. For the higher-blooded Tutsis, the Belgians provide an elite education, learning French, culture, and how to run the country from birth, while for the lower-blood hutus they provide education to build the people. Confused children learn in Swahili.

The content of learning is how to farm, how to do manual work, and how to obey the superiors. From birth, they are educated with prejudice. How can the new Tutsi core fools not hate each other? Thus, under the colonial rule of the Belgians, two peoples emerged in Rwanda. The Tuqi, as an aristocratic people, ruled over the Hutu people. Belgium is very keen to promote the cultivation of coffee and cotton in Rwanda in search of export profits. The Tutsi, as belgian horses, have been squeezing the confused people. However, the relationship between the Achi and the Hutu was not that of slave owners and slaves, but rather of being subordinate to that between landlords and sharecroppers. The Hutus offered their services in exchange for simplicity, when they could use cattle and suck up soil. The Hutu people, who have always been mainly engaged in farming, have accumulated a lot of farming experience and wealth over the years, and have changed from poor peasants to rich peasants. The wealthy Hutu elite began to seek independence, but the Tutsi elite did look down on them.

In 1962, the upstart Hutu officially gained independence from Rwanda, broke away from belgian guardianship, and became a confused leader. It's all thanks to the Belgians, who don't play their cards as they used to, but instead support the Hutu who have been relegated to the lower levels by themselves. When he came to power, he ruthlessly retaliated against the oppression he had suffered in previous decades. On the one hand, he deprived the Tutsis of their right to education and administer the government, and on the other hand, he seized power from the military. Many Tutsi elites were purged and forced to flee to neighbouring countries such as congo and Uganda. Enough is enough, of course, not to be outdone. They also launched several counterattacks, clamoring to rework Rwanda and regain power, but they were all defeated by the Hutus. In this way, the hatred between the two communities deepened. On 6 April 1994, Rwandan President Habialimana returned home after concluding negotiations and returning home on a plane with the President of Burundi, where he was attacked by surface-to-air missiles near the capital, resulting in deaths. be

Minutes after the plane crashed, Hutu extremists spread the news of the bewildered president's crash across the country. Both Tutsi and Hutu accused each other's armed forces of doing so. The next day, the Rwandan genocide officially broke out, and the tragedy of human history began. For three months, the unrest in Rwanda has not involved any Western powers. The United States, which has always been hands-on, does not know whether it is because of the defeat of the military operation in Somalia or because Rwanda has no important strategic resources and has done nothing in the face of such atrocities. Belgium, which sowed the seeds of unrest, simply withdrew its white men and turned a blind eye to the tragedy. When the violence lasted for a month and a half, the United Nations finally couldn't stand it anymore and began to intervene in rwanda's chaos. The complete end of this tragedy depends on Rwanda's own people. The Rwandan Patriotic Front, which fled to Uganda in its early years, was furious. This Patriotic Front is made up of villagers. When they heard that their compatriots had been killed, they immediately decided to take up arms and go to Rwanda to rescue their compatriots. But passion alone is not enough. Any organization needs a leader.

Who will lead Rwanda out of the woods? Kagame, A Tutsi nobleman. After the overthrow of the Tutsi regime in Rwanda in 1959, he and his family fled to unknown places and studied there.

In 1987, Kagame joined the Rwandan Patriotic Front. In early July, the Tujia army led by Kagame returned to China, took control of the capital Kigali, and continued to march throughout the country. The chaotic government was eventually overthrown, millions of disorganized people fearing reprisals fled to congo, and the Rwandan genocide finally came to an end. The Rwandan Patriotic Front soon formed a new Government, which adopted a policy of national reconciliation to appease the remaining population. Bizi Mongolia is president of the new government and Kagame is vice president. In 2000, Kagame became the fourth president of Rwanda after the inauguration of Beech Mongolia to Western Xia, and has remained in power ever since. Next time, Rwanda, once a purgatory on earth, has now become the most potential small country in Africa, and the national happiness is bursting. What makes Rwanda an African paradise? What role does China play in this?
