Genocide in Rwanda
The Rwandan Genocide lasted only 100 days, but an estimated 800,000 people were killed during that short amount of time. The Hutu had grown tired of Tutsi rule and overthrew them from power. The Hutu then decided that to exterminate the Tutsi people all together was the best thing to do for society. Identity then plays an important role for people like the pygmy, who are glad to say that they want nothing to do with the Civil War in Rwanda. It leads people to believe that not only they but their race is inferior and effects the mindset and attitudes of generations to come. The following video shows pictures of the terrors of war and genocide that occurred in Rwanda. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC6LAUu33DI
