The Effects of Colonization on Rwanda

Massacre, destruction, weak infrastructure, and Rwanda are recovering and can not escape the bad reputation. Before Rwanda was colonized in Belgium, there were Hutsu and Towa, but in the late 1300s the Tsuchi emigrated. When these people meet, they create a common culture and language, and they become equal. However, the long-standing ethnic division in Belgium has devastated the world image of Rwanda. You will notice that the Belgian rule has created confusion and fear and that contemporary political problems have been formed about government power and political issues of the people.

In the beginning of the 20th century, terrible genocide occurred between two Africans in Rwanda. In the early 1900s, Rwanda was colonized by Belgium and France, but it was colonized by Belgian missionaries. At that time, Rwanda had two major African tribes, Tsutsu and Hutsu. Belgian missionaries gave power to the church. Many African traditional Africans quickly converted to Catholics. - Massacre of Burundi. Hell encountered in Rwanda on April 6, 1994. Most of the people of the Hutu began brutally killing all the inhabitants suspected to be from the Tutsi minority. All the family members were killed and people trying to escape were blocked before crossing the border. Violent genocide continues until the death toll exceeds 800,000. A spark that caused genocide in Rwanda again emerged in a small country in Africa, Republic of Burundi.

On April 6, 1994, it marked the beginning of the recent and extreme genocide in Rwanda in the Great Lakes Region of Central African Republic. Rwanda was occupied by Belgians in the 20th century where 8,139,270 people lived. In 100 days, Mutsu extremists massacred 500,000 people, 1 million tsunes and moderate Hutsu mercilessly. Their goal is "ethnic cleansing" - even if it means killing innocent women, children and men, it must completely eradicate the entire Tutsi population. Hutus killed Tutsi, they lived together, their children went to school together, talked about the same language, followed the same religion, and sent a long marriage between them.

All of these began during Rwanda during the colonial rule of Belgium. Because of the characteristics of the country, Tsuchi was more popular than Hutsu. In 1930, Belgian colonial rule began at the beginning of the century, but Tsuchi was declared "winner". Belgian authorities have given Tutsi political power and by doing so, Belgians have laid the foundation for future conflict in Rwanda. Since 1945, "registration card" was introduced. This was because some people were identified by physical characteristics, but not all, Belgians decided to register all Rwanda. The registration card shows the national background of the birth, Hutusi or Tutsi, but this only exacerbates the difference in Rwanda and only promotes discrimination and hatred among different tribes. (Kalevor) Later these cards were used to easily find out who Tutsi is by the murderer.
