Topic outline

  • Introduction

    From 1959-1994 Rwanda’s former leadership institutionalized a virulent policy of divisionism as a system of governance devoted to separating Rwandans along ethnic lines, which led to the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis one of the most indescribable turmoil/tragedy in the history of mankind.  The system in place invested in harassment of one group of Rwandans labeled as Tutsis which culminated in torture, exclusion, nepotism, and repression that contributed to massive refugees scattered in all countries of the great lakes region for 30 years. Both 1st and 2nd Republics acted as twins that were briefed to behave in the same way of denying refugees peaceful repatriation and embarked on negotiating with host countries to give them(refugees) nationality depicting that the country is like a glass full of water that if you add extra the water can diminish. for more details see the link below
