Rwanda wednesday why did genocide begin?
Why did the genocide begin? The genocide began because the fight over land by the tutsi and the hutu. After the president of rwanda was killed in a plane crash the hutus took that as basically there time to kill all the tutsis. If the president of rwanda was not killed i think something like this would not of happened. Or if it did the president would of helped out more so 800,000 people would not have been killed or injured. The RPF made a group to take over rwanda and the hutus were part of that. I think after like 50 days everyone was in full action of literally rather trying to kill or watch out all day to be killed. I think the fact that rwanda was just a troubled country and the people there thought they could not make it worse. So when they started i think they thought it was just going to begin a quick war and the hutus would make the tutsis flee and give them all the land. But the tutsi stayed and rather were a part of defense or just hiding so they were not killed. If the hutus would not of shot down there own presidents plane, there the ones who brought on all the bad history of rwanda.
