Just a remark : Rwanda was very far from being a dictatorship and, furthermore, from being a Hutu dictatorship, though the Bahutu is in the majority.
Such an appalling mistake leaves very few credibility to what is said in the rest of the article. How is it possible to pretend to be serious, while so much mistaken on such an element ?
And another remark : when Rwanda became independant, in 1961, contrary to other African countries, there was no ethnic trouble and European people were not attacked ( only country where it didn't happen at all ). A part of the Batutsi left the country, because they were the support of the Belgian colonisation, but they were not threatened and those who stayed had no problem. Trouble came when the descendants of those Tustis gone to Congo, who were born there and had never ever lived in Rwanda, asked to come back, though they were more than those who had left, of course. This is why the Interhamwe extremists organised their first groups.
It does not justify the genocide at all, but it can explain a bit the situation.
