It has been 30 years since the Rwandan genocide – the campaign of extermination where the Hutu-led state killed an estimated 800,000, mostly Tutsi civilians, in just 100 days.

Didn’t mass media also play a role in dehumanization and incitement to genocide?
Mankind is a joke
Very wrong starting point in cause of Tutsi genocide!
The cause of Tutsi genocide is not because of death of habyarimana read the cause first!!🤔
What is the cause?
😂😂😂which tutsi
It was a catalyst
@@user-je7zl5lr5qyes, or a trigger but it was no the cause because the plan had been long hatched. The list of those to be killed had been made, matches and guns had been long purchased and distributed to Extremist Hutu militiamen called Interahamwe, call to mass killings had been made my local radios, meetings to organize the genocide frequently happened before April 6, and even the story that the president was to die had been written in the local newspaper (they were Hutus who opposed his peace deal with the RPF and stated that if he will have to move out of the way for them to fulfill their mission).
So, the plan being shot down can not be the cause if the plan existed before that. It was certainly a trigger.
A tragedy the world will never forget. No social media at the time with the youth in the west busy with studies and work. Forgive us, we were not aware until after the horror. I so hope you have resolved the ridiculous division imposed in you by the west. You are all beautiful children of god regardless of your appearance. ❤
What I ever you would have done ”if you knew then” you and your people are doing it right now. Because there is genocide in Gaza and in Congo!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thnks🙏🏽
Murakoze
France is extremely dangerous wicked cowards corrupt country, causing turmoil and massacre genocide in Rwanda, the world has never forgotten this atrocities committed by France.
Paul Kagame saved his people and country.
Evil coward France is guilty and should be punished by..,,,,,
horrendous. mans inhumanity to man.
Shame on Google. Google has reached the greatest low. YouTube are like the last dictators in the world.
this was too devastating to imagine until I watched hotel Rwanda and realised it was absolutely horrifying.
One of the worst genocide in history, talking about almost 1 million dead in 100 days.
We all know who down that plane. This genocide has been planned by Kagame sacrificing his own people so he could get in power
Doesn’t excuse what Kagame is doing though.
@@africaine4889genocide was planned even before, a hint: Grégoire kayibanda
@@africaine4889pause your propaganda atleast for a week, let people grieve their own.
@@africaine4889so Kagame had bought machetes and other weapons which were ready to be used the next day to kill Tutsis?, was Kagame the one teaching people on radio for years that Tutsis are cockroaches and not humans?, you sound deceptive or super ignorant.
We are the things God created and regretted he created.African leader are so FOOLISH and power hungry so much that they can do anything to have it. Every FOOLISH person wants to be president’s at all cost.The only real president we have in Africa are the current ones, Niger, Mali and Burkina. The rest are just Junkies and puppets
It amazing Rwanda have been quite on Gaza Genocide
“quite”?
True. I’m sure your average citizen of Rwanda is aganst it. But I would have hoped their government would have made a strong effort to denounce what’s going on. At least they’re not aiding lsraheII though.
Please delete this comment i think it’s a bit idiotic “Rwanda has sent humanitarian support to Palestinians in the Gaza amid the ongoing Israel bombing campaign. The supplies, delivered by Rwanda’s national carrier, Rwandair, via a cargo plane were received by the Jordanian Hashemite Charitable Organisation (JHCO).”
Because it’s not
They’ve been quiet because they support Israel. They also believe they’re superior to their neighbours like Israel believes that they’re superior to the Palestinians. The opressed have become the oppressors
The evil and greed of man knows no bounds. I honestly wonder if any humans will be walking the Earth in 1,000 years.
Role of francr?
This is a short research the issue dates back before colonialism when the Tutsi made Hutu their servants or second class citizens
Don’t try to justify a genocide. No single reason whatsoever is valid allowing any government to cleansing it’s citizens. There are numerous ways to manage tribal or ethnic differences. And I think in pre-colonial Rwanda, not all Tutsis were masters as you claim. Afterall what did genocidaires gained from their evil plans?
They did not. As a group, Hutus were never servants of the Tutsis. Hutus were agriculturalists and Tutsis were cattle herders. What you’re attempting to say is that the Loyal family were from the Tutsi as the kings always came from the same lineage. But since the first republic in 1960 and the independence in 1962. The Hutus were in power. That’s 32 years of Hutu domination. So, based on that I reject your validation of this idea that it was because of that.
And let me add on that before 1929. Rwandans were much more divided by clans rather than tribes, therefore they lived harmoniously together. There was no tribal wars then, the wars that existed were Rwanda fighting other kingdoms in the region.
The tribal divisions were instigated by the Belgians because they couldn’t control the king and the chiefs. So they sowed the seeds of division and even introduced the first identity cards which had tribes as one identifier. All these are problems that never existed during the Germany colonial rule.
Shame on you Devil
Colonialism is at the root of all evil
Lies lies lies. All this while kagame is killing in the DRC and has 15 million people killed in the past 30 years !
Looking at your comments you’re just a Tutsi hater, explains everything 🤡
Very true those that have been killed after the genocide over x 60% of those that have since been killed.
It’s not Rwandan’ s genocide but genocide against Tutsi
😂😂😂😂 which tutsi
@@michellekabanga3612 It’s Rwanda Genocide Against Tutsi; & you know it better.
@@qubitalpha976 you can lie to foolish Africans from other countries not kongolese who knows ubwenge very well
0:25 😂 No one knows ???
RWANDA IS NOT BACKING M23 🗣️🗣️🗣️
M23 are Congolese who are fighting for their rights to live on their land just like RPF back in 1991. Stop misleading the world please!
There are like 350,000 Tutsis living in Rwanda; the rest of them are in eastern Congo killing Africans on the behave of Europeans and Americans
The Tutsis are now killing the people of Congo; it’s like Jews killing Palestinians
As usual you share propaganda to add salt to the Genocide Survivors shame on you Aljazeera
It’s so heartbreaking. Indescribable. 800,000 people were killed. Perpetrators must be prosecuted.
This is the best ever explanation of the conflict in the Eastern Drc.
won’t be shocked to find out it’s the western nation with hidden interest killed the president,
Just ask yourself who keeps ka game in power
Not Rwandan Genocide but Genocide against tutsi
Can the genocide happen again should be the question.
Kagame shot down the plane, killed the then president, which triggered the genocide. Paul Kagame is also responsible
How do you know? Why would he do that when he knew that such action wouldn’t benefit him?
That action was only in advantage of a group of people who wanted the genocide to happen and were opposed the Arusha peace process. By the point that the plane was shot down the plan to carry out the genocide was well in full motion. The machetes and guns had been long purchased and distributed to Extremists Hutus militants named “Interahamwe”, the lists of those to be killed had been drawn, the Tutsis had already been dehumanized by being called cockroaches, tall trees and other dehumanizing names.
Now, assume you’re Kagame and you know all this ( this was known to the whole population ), would you still go ahead and carry out an action that gives your enemy justification to implement his plan? I think not.
And also the French, who were in support of the administration of Rwanda at the time, have never released the information of the black box even after being accused of being complicit in the genocide by Kagame. If it was Kagame who did it, wouldn’t the French want to get back to him by releasing the information that implicates him?
I would like the black box to be released one day. We need to know the truth about the Habyarimana plane but I doubt that it would reveal that Kagame was behind it because if that was the case I think the French would have revealed what’s on the black box a long time ago.
Be logical!
@@yasuke4593 Leading RPF members now in exile, who were close to Kagame have already spoken up and confirmed that Kagame gave the order for the plane to be shot down. Its no longer up for debate when key witnesses have confirmed the conspiracy.
U are out of your mind
@@kantengwajenny2460 and you’re allergic to truth.
And now kagame is arming M23 Tutsis in Congo to help them take power in Congo like he took power in Rwanda. This guy never learns
Pathetic journalism
Rwanda started tutsi militia group how did you know ??
Stop covering things which you don’t know.
Kindly also do a piece on the October 7th genocide
That’s just half of the story. I think the RPF and his Tutsi extremists killed more than what the hutus did . History has been distorted. I wonder how kagame and his generals have gotten away with this 😅😅
That’s just what you think. But it doesn’t mean it is the truth. And the truth is not hard to find anyway.
The government and the national army was dominated by the Hutus. The government had support of France and Zaire.
RPF (APR as it was called at the time) only had 600 soldiers in the country at the time of the genocide.
There was hundreds thousands of extremists Hutu militias who had been given machetes and guns by the government.
Hutus were over 80% of the population at the time. And Tutsis were under 20% of the population at the time.
Now consider all these facts, The odds of what you say happening are close to 0.
@@yasuke4593 , According to the art war , the Victor’s Narrative is what is written in the books of History 😄. Of course, since kagame and the RPF were the victors, they ended up being on the good side of history ~being the heroes while the hutus were demonized…
@@yasuke4593 , The RPF , had the full back up of the NRA , which by then were the seating power in Uganda ( led by m7 , who os as well believed to be Tutsi) And the government of the US
@@yasuke4593well a 20% tutsi Government in Burundi managed to wipe out the 80% hutus in 1993 your reply is irrelevant…that’s the same tutsi army helped kagame taking Rwanda in 1994…..,
@@mikhail4527yeah plus Burundi was under Buyoya the tutsi president….they sent an army to help kagame,I remember some of my schoolmates going there to fight
According to independent investigations, the RPF , mainly Tutsi, successfully infiltrated the hutu led extremist group ( interlahamwe) , to further incite the violence. It in fact further participated in the genocide of the Tutsis before it overthrew habyarimana Government. History has been tested because the US were involved ( Offered support to the NRA and RPF rebel Groups) . They cannot hide away from this
Says a girl from Mali 😂😂😂😂😂
Who shot down of the plane was long been established. Just do research into this. You touched a bit on it by saying faction within the president who did not want the Arusha peace agreement, which the present just agreed on to share power with Tutsi rebels. Something the powerful extremists within his government wanted to squash by any means possible.
You also have to say hutu wives denounced their tutsi husbands and children………
