The Rwandan Genocide was a major and bloody conflict between the Hutu and the Tutsi in Rwanda. In my original poem “What Took the People of Rwanda?” the Hutu are referred mainly to as “the mighty‚” for they were the majority in Rwanda. The Tutsi are referred to as “the weak” because they were the minority. The poem begins with “two boys‚” or two ethnic groups‚ “stand[ing] against each other… because of times long ago not yet forgotten.” This is in reference to the past when the Tutsi ruled Rwanda

The Rwandan Genocide History has a funny way of repeating itself. After World War II‚ the United States and the rest of the international community promised to do all they could to prevent future genocides. However this was a promise they were unable to keep. In 1994 when Rwanda went through genocide the United States and U.N were absent‚ leaving the Tutsis to be brutally murdered by the Hutus.
