WHAT SODOMITE EUROPE GOT TO DO WITH IT?

In this episode of Minutes With sat down with Antoinette Mutabazi, who survived the Rwandan genocide in 1994. She told us about the horror she witnessed during the 100 days of genocide, what happened to her family and the one thing that helped her to move on... The war arose from the long-running dispute between the Hutu and Tutsi groups within the Rwandan population. A 1959–1962 revolution had replaced the Tutsi monarchy with a Hutu-led republic, forcing more than 336,000 Tutsi to seek refuge in neighbouring countries. 

Ethnic conflict has been a major problem that has plagued contemporary Central Africa, spreading across the continent. Often various tribes and ethnic groups have long standing histories of conflict amongst themselves that may perhaps explain these outbreaks of violence; however, far too often ethnic conflict has spawned from politics and socio-economic biases, rather than simply cultural issues. The colonization and seemingly nonsensical division of Africa by European powers in the late nineteenth century did nothing to prevent or stave ethnic conflict in the coming decades—indeed the politically motivated creation of new borders on the continent at least moderately contributed to later ethnic conflict. But did the festering wounds left by the European colonizers directly cause later ethnic violence? Rather than asking such a specific question, it is better to examine these conflicts as having both ultimate and more immediate causes. And this is how we must examine the case of Rwanda, and even its closely related sister, Burundi: indeed, their Belgian colonizers bred problems that ultimately led to the countries’ ethnic problems, culminating in a number of genocides in the latter half of the twentieth century; but it was their own people and political make-up that was directly at the root of the problem.
