Rwanda genocide!!!!!

Genocide??????
Rwanda????

Rwanda is actually a small country in Africa,with just 7 millions of people, and is comprised of two main ethnic groups, the Hutu and the Tutsi. Although the Hutus account for 90 percent of the population, in the past, the Tutsi minority was considered the aristocracy of Rwanda and dominated Hutu peasants for decades. This was the place genocide happened in 1994 where 800,000 Tutsis were killed in just 100 days. Moreover, the Hutus used clubs and macheres to killed the Tutsis. Just a simple weapon used to killed average 10,000 lives a day. This genocide happen mainly because different power status of both ethnics.

So sad. So many lives had lost over a simple thing. Izzit worth to sacrify so many life?

Never in my life, heard about genocide! About so many people were killed! This issue really make me open my eye toward this unfamilar world outside. It make me feel i'm so tiny. There are still so many things happening now and the past which i dont even know a single dot about it. Besides, human are still not civilize!!!! And there are so many countries in Africa. I once thought Africa is a country with many unfamilar places but I'm wrong.
