• In our senior project, we
were looking at the reasons
that caused the genocide and
What effects did it bring to
the people that were lucky
to survive it.




The Rwandan genocide was caused by
Race
Monarchy
The Hutu extremist thinking the Tutsi rebels
shot down the president of Rwanda’s plane
 Tutsi’s getting the better favor than the Hutu.
 German and Belgian colonizer said it is hard
to find the racial differences between them.
Hutu and Tutsi both of them speak French and
Bantu-dialect language, and they believe same
religion as Christianity.
• The myth says Tutsi was from Ethiopia and
Hutu came later from Chad. Because of Tutsi’s
home country was closer to Europe in the myth,
they thought Tutsi is better than Hutu from
Chad. Until the Rwanda independent, this
myth was told by people.
 The ID card made many Tutsis death during
1994, Rwanda genocide. Tutsis were killed
if their ID card shows they are Tutsi and the
check point was in every road block by
Hutus government.
 President Juvenal Habyarimana and Burundi’
Cyprian Ntayamira were coming back from
Tanzania, their airplane was shot down by rocket
fire near by the Rwanda’s capital city.
 Radio said the genocide will start and it happened
because Hutu politicians thought RPF shot down
the plane.
 Juvénal Habyarimana
born in 1937.
 He was the president of
Rwanda from 1973 to
April 6, 1994.
 He was supporting his
ethnic group, Hutu.
-Survived the Rwandan Genocide, by being
in a small bathroom in Pastor Murinizi’s
house with 7 other women for 90 days out
of the 100 days of the genocide.
- The killers came more than one time,
and one killer said “ I have killed over
399 cockroaches , Immaculee will
make 400.” That’s a good number to
kill.
- Immaculee turned to god to keep her safe
and through out that brutal period of time
being stuck in a bathroom in hiding, she
became closer to god.
-She went into hiding in the bathroom at 115 pounds,
when she came out she was 69 pounds.
-Immaculee learned her brother and her mother were
killed after she came out of hiding.
-She has written a book left to tell, which is about
how she discovered god trough the Rwanda
genocide.
 PRF is called The Rwandan Patriotic Front
 The members were largely Tutsi.
 Now’s president of Rwanda, Paul Kagame is
in this group of political force too.
 During July 8, 1993 to July 31, 1994, and during
the Rwanda genocide, the radio station named call
RTLM (Radio Télévision Libre des Mille
Collines) was playing the significant role.
 Every Rwandan got mentally harm from this
RTLM broadcasts.
"When people ask me, good listeners, why do I hate all the
Tutsi, I say, ‘Read our history.’ The Tutsi were collaborators
for the Belgian colonists, they stole our Hutu land, they
whipped us. Now they have come back, these Tutsi rebels.
They are cockroaches. They are murderers. Rwanda is our
Hutu land. We are the majority. They are a minority of
traitors and invaders. We will squash this infestation. We
will wipe out the RPF rebels. This is RTLM, Hutu power
radio. Stay alert. Watch your neighbors”
- Rape was done to thousands of women, that were
either individually raped or gang raped, They were not
only raped with male body parts but with sharpened
sticks and gun barrels.
- Many of the survivors of these brutal rapes have been tested and
over 25,000 Tutsi women of the windows of the genocide
organization showed two thirds were found to have HIV. Also many
women were pregnant by these killers, many of the women wanted
nothing with the child and some couldn’t help but adore them.
Intended consequences a video I watched showed
many woman that have survived the rape. One
woman was spared her life but thrown in a massive
grave to die when another Hutu killer found her.
She asked for water and he told her wait. He came
back and handed her the water and said “Drink your
brothers blood and go.”
In conclusion we know and have learned that the
genocide of Rwanda was caused by race, differences,
favoritism and blame.
The out come of the survivors that went through the
horrifying genocide of 1994, were not only set free
but began a new life.
