The Rwandan Genocide was a point in history that from the presentation that our class was given makes me think history would like to forget. The Rwandan Genocide began when the president of Rwanda’s plane was shot down and the government believed that it was an attack done by Tutsi rebels which prompted the trained Hutus to go around the country and try to kill all of the Tutsis who they believe were traitors. When you here about all of the massacres that this countries own people were doing to each other, it makes me happy that I live in Canada where this kind of thing doesn’t happen or at least not to this scale. It also makes me happy that we live in a united country that doesn’t have two physical sides just a political one however, both of those political sides are able to come together on certain issues instead of just fighting it out like the Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda.
