RadiSys Corporation Confidential1 Rwanda Genocide By Merisa, Brandon, John, David, Alexis

RadiSys Corporation Confidential2 Rwanda Background In Rwanda the Tutsis are the minority in terms of population. They held the most power and land. This was brought about by favoritism towards them when Rwanda was under Belgian Rule. The Hutus were the majority in terms of population.

In 1990 Rwanda was invaded by the Rwandan Partiotic Front(RPF). Most of these soldiers were Tutsi refugees. Many Hutus were killed. In 1993 he United Nations sent peacekeepers to maintain a peace accord. Over the next few months presidents from both countries and tribes were killed suspiciously. In April 1994 the Rwandan and Burundi presidents were killed. Hutu extremist retaliated by killing 11 United Nations Peacekeepers. After this killing the peacekeeping mission came to abrupt halt and the UN evacuated all peacekeepers. Before the Genocide

The perpetrators were Hutu When independence was gained the country divided into two. Rwanda and Burundi. Through elections in Rwanda the Hutus gained government power. The Tutsis controlled the government in Burundi. The Perpetrators and their Gain of Power

RadiSys Corporation Confidential5 Rwanda Genocide The genocide began on April 6 th, 1994 The genocide lasted for 100 days. Extremist leaders from the Hutu majority started to murder the Tutsi minority. Nearly one million Tutsis were killed. Thousands of women were raped. Hutus who hid Tutsis were killed. The Tutsis were killed because the Hutus militants made people believe that they were the enemy out to kill them first.

RadiSys Corporation Confidential 7 How was the Genocide Carried Out The Hutus militia that carried it out killed the Tutsis just by using machettes and clubs. They were trained ahead of time. The Hutu militia used constant propaganda to incite their followers They used the radio to broadcast that the tutsis were cockroaches and devils. They also used the radios and speakerphones to tell the location of fleeing Tutsis. The Tutsis also couldn’t jam the radio signals because they didn’t have the technology.

RadiSys Corporation Confidential8 Genocide Genocide- the intent to kill a specific group of people. This fits the definition of genocide because the Hutu intended to completely eliminate the Tutsis.

The Media #1. In the media the perpetrators were portrayed as cruel and wild. Rusesabagina said, "We knew there were intentions between Hutus and Tutsis," he said. "But we never believed that people can be so cruel -- can be so wild." #2. The victims were portrayed as brave and courageous by Obama. "As we mourn their senseless passing, we must also acknowledge the courageous men and women who survived the genocide and have since demonstrated remarkable strength and generosity in forgiving those who committed these heinous acts," #3. the media thought the perpetrators should be sentenced to life in prison. ''The most appropriate sentence in respect of each of the accused is imprisonment for the remainder of their lives,'' prosecutor Makwaia
