What is the real cause of the Rwanda incident?

Because the then Rwandan military and political leaders and some media exaggerated the so-called racial differences between the Tuxi and Hutu ethnic groups in the country, which aggravated the tension between the two ethnic groups and eventually led to bad results.

Pillay, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, issued a statement calling on the international community to remember the Rwandan massacre, learn from it and avoid the recurrence of similar atrocities. Pillay stressed that people should not only remember the terrible massacre, but also think about the causes of the tragedy. It was precisely because the then Rwandan military and political leaders and some media exaggerated the so-called racial differences between Tuxi and Hutu in the country, which aggravated the tension between the two ethnic groups and eventually led to bad results.

Pillay said that Rwandans who experienced the Holocaust realized that judicial justice and accountability were the guarantee for maintaining the long-term stability of the country, and the Rwandan government established after the Holocaust also made judicial justice and accountability a priority goal. The international community should make efforts to bring the perpetrators of the Holocaust who fled outside Rwanda to justice, support the Rwandan government in promoting and safeguarding human rights, and support Rwanda in further achieving national reconciliation.

Cause of the incident:

1On April 6, 1994, the plane carrying Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana and Burundian President cyprien ntaryamira was shot down near Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, and the two presidents were killed. This incident immediately triggered the bloody revenge of Hutu people in Rwanda against Tutsi people. On the 7th, the Presidential Guard, composed of Hutu soldiers, killed Tutsi Uweilingji Imzana, a Rwandan female prime minister, and three ministers.

Incited by local media and radio stations, in the following three months, about 800,000 to 1 10,000 people died tragically under the guns, machetes and sharpened sticks of Hutu soldiers, militia and civilians. Most of the victims were Tutsis, including some Hutus who sympathized with Tutsis, and 654.38+0/8 of Rwanda's population was missing.
