This Genocide Was Too Evil To Comprehend (Warning* Mature Audiences Only)

- From 1885-1961, Rwanda was a possession of two European countries, Germany, from 1885-1919, and Belgium, from 1919 to 1961. The same held true in neighboring Burundi, which was also populated by Hutu and Tutsi peoples. During this period, European ideas about ethnicity and racial superiority permeated much of Africa. To many Europeans, there was no doubt, white Europeans were superior to black Africans. BUT, people are people, no matter what their color, and it doesn't take much for one group of people to hate another, even if they look very similar to each other.
There is a long complicated history of tribal relations and tribal warfare in Rwanda, and the area around it. To the north, Uganda has had issues between different ethnic groups, and to the south, in Burundi, ethnic tensions got so high in 1972 and 1993 that hundreds of thousands of people were killed. In Burundi and Rwanda, the two dominant ethnic groups are the Hutu and the Tutsi. Caught between them in Rwanda are the Twa, a pygmy tribe who likely are the areas indigenous people.
The Tutsi and Hutu moved into the region hundreds of years ago, and by the 16th century, had established a variety of different kingdoms in the area. From the 16th to the 19th century there were times of ethnic violence between the two groups. Though the level and frequency of this ethnic violence decreased when Europeans took over, tensions often ran high and violence did occur.
There were many reasons for the tensions between Hutu and Tutsi. One of them was simple. Power. Hand in hand with power is economics. And finally there are the illogical reasons that people use to set themselves apart or claim “superiority” over another around the world - appearance, education (or the lack of it), or just plain differences that the two groups simply don't understand, care to understand or willfully put down.
When the Germans, and later Belgians moved in, they largely controlled the ethnic violence in the area, mostly out of concern that large-scale violence would interfere with the economy of the area, which both nations profited from. Unfortunately, a by-product of European control were European ideas about race and ethnicity

Ideas of ethnicity and racial superiority are not unique to Europeans. There are many examples of it throughout history.
Scientific racism was unique to Europeans. Inter ethnic conflict was not, so let's not try to conflate the two.
Indeed, just look at the Han Chinese CCP government in 2023.
Ahh the luxury of having your cake and eating it too. Love how in the same breath, apologists for colonisation and the divisions and tensions arising From it, claim that colonialism brought the benefits of civilisation to savages. And then go on to say, wellll, ethnic and racial discrimination is done by everyone, so why single out the Europeans. Pick a set of rules and stick with them!
To claim to be more "advanced" and dissociate from the negative consequences of one's actions...amusing, and breathtakingly hypocritical
@@jonstewart6860Zzzzzzzz🤡
It takes 5 seconds of thinking to realise that this happened after hundreds of years of 2 groups living together in peace. Somehow it happens after the rule of european powers. You do the math on what caused these ideas in rwanda
It’s really frightening how groups of people can just turn into barbarians like that. I always avoid crowds when I can. The bigger the group, the lower the collective IQ.
in this case, it was caused by years of resentment and hate towards a group that was highly favored by the system because of how they looked and not low IQ
Honestly this statement of yours should be immortalised ....
@@awesome5956,Tutsi have a higher IQ than Hutu?
@@pablito4762 i never said that, my point was that the reason for the genocide was because of the way tutsi was treated under german and later Belgien rule. Giving special prevellege to one group will make that group hated by the other groups. This has nothing to do with collective low IQ that you tend to see with other group violence
@@awesome5956No. The hatred already existed between Hutus and Tutsis. They'd already been killing each other for CENTURIES. The interference of the Europeans and their retarded ideas gave things an air of legitimacy and lit the fire of the genocide.
One of my closest friends survived this thank god. He and his family managed to get to Uganda and now he’s over here in the UK. His uncle had to lay in a cart of bodies and play dead to get past a road blocks. Really breaks my heart that this happened but it really killed bit of my soul knowing a friend who I love and care about has to forever remember what he seen :(
Literally living through a nightmare, glad your friend and uncle made it out alive though. Cheers from across the pond!
I can’t imagine the strength, and resolve, it took for him to get out. Glad they both got out!!
I am glad he survived and made it to a safer place. Peace be with them.
I hope they are living a wonderful life in UK now. Can't imagine how it must feel to go from that to a place of safety. God bless
He and his family can go back to Uganda now mate they don’t need to be here
My uncle served with the UN peace keepers in Rwanda... the only thing he ever said about his experience there is that he would never set foot in there again because its demonically possessed...😢... RIP uncle safdar

The survivors of this genocide made movies called Sometimes in April and Hotel Rwanda. The depiction is so accurate its sad disturbing and will leave you with the feeling of how the F could their friends/ neighbor do that to them.
The Jews say their German neighbours turned on them in WW2, but you know, there were reasons to, and there still are. I think people have possibly genuine grienances which are oppressed, and they just build up. Like in this video, for example, where the narrator says that hutu land was given to the tutsis. Why would the hutus be okay with that? But they had to repress their feelings, to appear happy enough to keep their jobs, to stay alive, and provide for their families! But then, things explode!
What can be learned from this? To be just! But maybe the powerful wanted to create division between the people, to prevent unity, because unity is strength! So then the lesson is to replace those at the top, when they make trouble!
However, now, in AD2023, we see Niger holding elections, and a military hunta ousting the newly elected president, so democracy is not being respected. Now, the foreigners have been called in to restore democracy!
Maybe we need Jesus! Let's all pray for God to send Him!
@@lucykelly7152, exactly, well said.

I have both of those movies & have seen the PBS Frontline's documentary "Ghosts of Rwanda 🇷🇼." The documentary sent chills up my spine seeing all of those people being hunted down, slaughtered, & butchered like a pack of rabid dogs.

Hey everyone, I want to clarify that when we refer to eugenics as "scientific," it's purely sarcasm, hence the use of quotation marks. Let's be clear, eugenics of that time was a fundamentally flawed and scientifically misguided movement. It was primarily based on assumptions and limited understanding of genetics.
Yup, I understood that it was said sarcastically. Btw, can you guys please do a video on the Assyrian Genocide?
Thank you for the video! It was very informative.
Actually this is a refreshing breath of air of truth. Science has a very high error rate...and science doesn't know everything and what they do know changes with time based on new information. Usually the people that invade and take over another country are the ones "on top" and it is not racial it is about control and resources and money....history has proven that many times over in many areas of the earth.
The eugenics movement, still exists, I believe.?
@@aheroyaheroyalproductions7631oh it definitely does
General Dallaire, a french Canadian, head of the UN mission there during the genocide was given nothing to allow him to intervein, once he saved a bunch of children by simply walking in on the leader of the murderers and screaming at him... it worked and he survived. Unfortunately the experience left him a broken man, after his return he attempted suicide three times, but he survived. There are a few documentaries about his horrific experience there, one is called "Shake Hands with the Devil: The Journey of Roméo Dallaire" difficult to watch. I guess the US wasn't told about this one, they are so quick to save a people from tyranny and evil doers usually!
The US buried the news of this genocide so they would not be compelled to act by the UN. The Clinton administration had just suffered a badly bungled operation in Somalia and wasn't looking for another engagement of the like. There are devastating recordings of Madeline Albright talking in circles around the word "genocide"

It’s just human nature to want to associate with a tribe and pretend to be superior/dominant
what r u trying to whitewash? 😁
And what are you trying to downplay by making this point?
What I’ve come to learn about the human species is that EVERYONE feels the need to join a group and act like their group (tribe) is superior or dominant. No race/ethnicity is anymore naturally racist or oppressive than any other
This is where religion gets it’s power and why it’s so hard to break the two party system in America.

tribal rivalry & warefare is not confined to Rwanda, it's normalised across sub-Saharan Africa and fuelled the Trans Atlantic slave trade with defeated tribes being sold off to anyone willing to pay local African Chiefs for them and continued up to 1889 when Benin was invaded by the British to end this horrific practice.

@@user-qy6tu9ip9vEurope and America where the first places on earth to stop slavery ever. A practice that had happened since the beginning of time. The “evil white man” is the one that ended slavery. In fact in America more white men died fighting against slavery then there were even black slaves. Yet there is no day to recognize those men that laid alone cold and dying in the mud and snow so the black people could be free. The opposite is true, the ansestors of those men are force out of jobs for black minorities to get jobs, and people wants them to pay reparations even though a few small number of Americans even had slaves or benefited from them. In fact most white men/ people are demonized and hated even though without them everyone on earth besides maybe a few kings would live as they do in rural Asian and Africa 😂
I remember this. It was just awful what was happening down there but it also showed just how useless the United Nations is. The United Nations did nothing as they always do it is the most useless organization on the planet they are always late to the party and even if they are finally there they do nothing they are absolutely the worst and are 100% parley to blame for allowing this to go on at the level that it went on. RLTW 3/75
I survive this genocide as a 5 years old. It is a vivid nightmare that i still have to this day. Yeah. I think my people learned a hard lesson my generation won't repeat it.
Stay strong and keep educating about this
I remember watching Hotel Rwanda when it came out and it broke my heart to watch. Knowing it was a real thing that took place in Africa, that groups of people just turned absolutely barbaric against one another like that, blew my mind. I also knew that since it was a Hollywood film that the reality of the situation was much much worse than I could have ever imagined possible. It's hard to not look at those who murdered ruthlessly as anything other than savage and absolutely evil. Africa has seemed to be one of those continents that has had such a violent past and still is violent in some places till this day, ground soaked in blood. some will always find a reason to be violent and savage because some can't just live and let live. I DGAF the reason behind it all, Genocide is ALWAYS WRONG and when your an adult making decisions you should know it is wrong, there is no excuse for genocide.
You should also watch Kashmir files it's a movie about genocide of Hindus kashmiri people being killed just because of their faith. It happened at the same period as the movie you've mentioned Hotel Rwanda.
Uh... cultural genocide still continues in the Americas and some places regular genocide.
I was taught and still believe that any form of murder is no bueno.
Yes the barbaric slaying still continues today.
In SA we have seen this is a big way since 1994.
Life is cheap here.
What if an entire political party is the victim of mass brainwashing and is destroying your country? Is it ok then?
I was a peacekeeper during this time. Words can't describe the level of darkness over Rwanda and its people at that time.
That was very well done. More people need to be made aware of history and it's atrocities lest we repeat them.
Exactly.. That radio station singing genocide is litterly EFF here in South Africa
We're already letting history repeat itself, passively. We forgot to not let governments pose a population as "superior" or "inferior" in any way, shape or form.
And with standing up for yourself comes violence, because governments won't have it any other way than to point a gun at you.
Governments are playing a game with population as pawns so that the people are footing the bill.
Awareness is useless, counterproductive even, because it invokes violence. That is an action which is made illegal, by governments. We lost already.

BTW, craniology was also popular in France, & the 'scientist' behind it, Paul Broca, is still 'honored' by France to this day with a street to his name in Paris.
“Craniology”? Is that the same thing as phrenology? (American here. We call it phrenology. Or at least that’s what I’ve always heard it called)
The size of the skull is indeed not a significant measurement. However modern measurements of average volume of grey matter within the brain are relevant. There are indeed racial differences in this volume and it does correlate to established gaps between IQ scores.

That's something I've only heard of in passing and would love to see a deeper dive.
I have a friend who actually went through that episode in Bangladesh in 1971. Some of the things he told me about were pretty horrific
How horrible!
Bottom line is, they chose to kill their own. They based it on their own perceived superiority. Based that on height and skin color. Whatever the European influences were, are you saying they couldn’t think for themselves and unite instead of fighting and killing each other? Each is responsible for what they did.
Very shallow observations" I muust say. the Europeans without a doubt share their share of responsbility, make no doubt about that. But if you blame it on the action of the other, or you make a "thoughouput observations", which was >>anything but the case
Retard. He said it at the beginning of the video. Explicitly saying that the Europeans played a part but they were not the overall cause.
I don’t think you realize how deep rooted colonialism is. Even if you get rid of all the white people and bi-racial white there will still be colorism and self hatred among blacks etc. You teach someone to hate yourself you will think it’s normal. Just like alot of slaves though being property is normal
Yea this guy is way off the mark

Race is one of the many things humanity has found to box people into categories and racial discrimination is one of the many forms of prejudice.

The Natzhees were not only far from being unique in their egeunics and rcaial hgyiene, they weren't even the ones that came up with it. You can thank the University Of Uppsala, Sweden for that. For the Natzhees, it was more like part of the political program to "clean up everything". This was easily supplied to the demand of order because of the weak Weimar republic in which dgeeneracy, corruption, crime and poverty flourished.
And it was not just a case of withe people against people of darker complexion. Swedes classified Finns and later, even Finnish-speaking Finns (differentiated from the Swedish-speaking Finland-Swedes) a lower race compared to them. Finns were also sold as exotic slaves.
The words are jumbled to get the comment past the YT filters.

As the Rwanda Genocide was happening, the Balkans conflict was also in play. The Bosnian genicide was also occurring but gained far more media attention. Historically, the Balkans troubles tended to flair into wider conflicts and that was the major concern.

Why is it people who claim to be about history not mention Islam? The Hutu's were Islamic, and cutting off the hands and feet is an Islamic practice. Islam had everything to do with what happened. So why do the forget to mention this? I met a person who was in Rwanda at the time and came home. If he had not told me it was a Islamic uprising, I would have not known.
So, was it Islam that caused king Leopold II to cut off the hands of the rubber laborers when he felt they were not performing? He was Belgian. This happened in the Congo. The “Islamic” practice was practiced by a European king?
Cutting down the tall trees with machetes is eerily similar almost like an M.O. Was he too influenced by Islam? Or were they taking the metaphor literally? What is the connection? I don’t know.
I found the connection. The people in charge in both cases were Muslim. That is the M.O. of the Europeans. They put the Islamic followers in power all over Africa because they have their own punitive laws already in place like this. That way the Europeans don’t have to deal with the punishment aspect of things and they can just enjoy the wealth.
Understood.
Maybe the Tutsi were more civilized after all. They ruled in peace while Hutus were savages.

I know people will say "omg the Tutsi shouldn't have killed in retaliation uwu" and to that I say, what they did just doesn't measure up to what the Hutu did to them. The Hutu are lucky they didn't have the same scale of violence inflicted upon them in revenge.
What kind of logic is that? So the Germans should feel lucky that the Jews didn’t retaliate. Dumbass comment.
The whole point is that endless revenge begets endless revenge. Did you listen to the whole thing? Eventually someone needs to stop killing and maiming as their response to such things.

Ukrainian here. At least someone who was born in Ukraine, lives in Ukraine and lived his entire life in Ukraine, bcs by todays standards I might not be considered as true Ukrainian. Thing is that this country is, and always was, based on ethno-nationalism, specifically anti-russian ethno-nationalism, with some anti-jew and neonazi rhetoric here and there, but in vast majority it was and is specifically anti-russian. We had two revolutions, successful "January 6"s so to speak - in 2004 and 2014, and while both of them started as a fight against corrupt government and rigged elections, and for economic freedom, both of them ended with the system remaining the same, almost no increase in freedom, instead of that we got huge booms in enthno-nationalism popularity, especially in 2014 and then - during the war in Donbass. Before the 2022, tensions were... from one side they were decreasing with normal people reconciling with Russians especially during covid times, but from another side they were increasing with mainstream media, political groups, patriots and nationalists and all of that mob becoming more and more radical and government passing more and more laws that were restricting use of Russian language. And after the big war started, well... It's bad, the rhetoric coming out from media (all of which are under direct state control) is frightening similar to RTLMs rhetoric. God only knows what consequences that will have.
Lots of good information. Thank you! 👍
There is a book by Immaculée Ilibagiza "Left to Tell." She is a Tutsi woman who survived the holocaust. For a while she was hidden in a bathroom with, I believe, 7 other women by a Hutu pastor. Horrific atrocity. Fantastic book.
Good you mentioned that. Her testimony is incredible and it shows us that, no matter how desperate the situation, no matter how evil and vicious the enemy is, there is Someone greater who is on the side of the oppressed. Only faith could help in the face of such wickedness....
If anyone else gets involved they get slammed for "being the world's police" and when they don't get involved, they get slammed aswell, can't win
Makes you madder when you find out the UNs response. And that both the French and Belgians had "specialists" working with the opposing groups. Which means both countries knew and probably helped in planning the whole thing.
Guarantee your an anti colonialist but you still blame whites for the actions of subhumans. Wild.
Thank you! Pure evil. But why? Is the question. They 🙆🏻♂️🙆🏼♂️ leave a path of destruction everywhere. It’s ridiculous.
This was a great video with details and an imparcial analysis that really allows to understand the situation and not fall again in the same errors. This is how every history documentary should always be.
and somehow it all comes back to be the fault of the whyte supremacy.
I do remember all those comedians jokes in the 90s and early 2000s about Wesley Snipes being the darkest person to ever exist.
I wish you mentioned how France directly funded the preparation for the genocide, and then, through operation turquoise, allowed Interahamwe to chase Tutsi into neighboring Congo. The Congo government took in the Interahamwe and then France funded then as well. They still exist today. In Congo, the genocide continued long after the RPF stopped the genocide in Rwanda
Yeah that's probably because it's utter nonsense eh 👍
Makes no sense indeed
even scarier when you know a genocide is happening in congo rn

MAD PEOPLE ACTIONS
TRAGIC
I seems you left out part of the story. There was a UN mission there when the genocide happened, they did know it was building and requests were made for help before killings started which were ignored. The leader of the mission Romeo Dallaire disobeyed orders to leave with a contingent of Tunisian troops who had stayed to that point while Belgians and Indians left at the first sign of trouble. Western special forces were inserted to evacuate western citizens days before the killings started, but not to stay to prevent what was known to be being planned and begun to be carried out. The proceedings of a court martial of Dallaire were begun upon his return to Canada for various things among them was insubordination. This was a colossal failure of the UN and all western nations all of whom had the ability to intervene rapidly and didn't. The lesson is to know the patterns of human behaviour, ignore the groups involved and whatever loyalties one might have to them and recognize that this behaviour can happen to any group however good one might think it might be. How do we treat those we disagree with based on whatever arbitrary criteria we seem to latch onto and know that it is building somewhere right now, maybe in your own back yard, when it does stop it or it will rear its ugly head again... No resources of much value there I guess or there would have been a reason to do something.
Of course the UN are to blame right? You have people who are basically the same killing each other for no reason, but let's blame UN, what do you think the UN should have done? Help one side kill the other side? If that had happened, your comment would probably be, The UN getting involved made the whole situation worse then it would have been, the UN getting involved made the death toll worse then it would have been, in other word, regardless of what happen, you'll still find a way to blame the UN.
That's purposefully done. Instigate the war, fund the side you pick, then get out of the way. That's what the UN does. They want the people to take themselves out, then they come in afterwards and rebuild so they can have access to all the resources over there. UN doesn't care about the people. Instead it's all about $money$ and all about resources.
Tribalism will always be a divisive factor in Africa
This is a very thoughtful and thorough summation. Well done. Should be taught in all schools across the world. Racism isn't always about color...
The human condition is inherently evil. This short film hardly does it any justice. The US. Was reluctant to get involved because of the recent events in Mogadishu in which U.S. soldiers were killed and bodies desecrated after 3 Blackhawk helicopters were shot down. The amount of killing in such a short time period and the means by which it was accomplished coupled with the fact that many of the victims were neighbors of and had friendly relations with the perpetrators makes this event especially horrifying and unique.
if the Tutsi were in charge for a long time without killing anyone, then maybe they were the superior race. sad how quickly the Hutu resorted to violence d minute dey felt power or the upper hand. that's being weak minded _ therefore cannot be the superior ones by far. AND they were Short 🤣🤣🤣🤣 felt inferior _ short man's disease 😭
At the beginning you contradicted the rest of the video by emphasising that is was not started by Europeans.
Even the eugenics movement was started by a European. We're the worst thing humanity has ever produced..
thank you for this!
i knew about this but not so much about the historical reasons . thanks for the good video
I actually saw the footage that did get out. I can still see it in my mind. I won't go into detail but I had never seen the streets running blood and hope to never again. One thing I did appreciate about Hotel Rwanda was although they portrayed a lot of truths there was an entire lack of blood. Thank you for sharing this important history lesson. I had blamed Europeans exclusively but the history was much deeper and longer than I had expected. A horrible event in such a short time. Peace to all
Where did you find the footage? I want to use it for my paper
@@iNaaails it was at the moment thing. I have only found one other person who saw it during evening news and with no careful what you're about to see. So glad my child wasn't in the room. Never saw it again until watching hotel Rwanda with friends freaking when the camera man went out saying what was recorded. No voice just the worst clip I've ever seen. Probably buried real quick for being overly graphic. It was a Toronto area station, or Barrie. I didn't have cable at the time so a channel that came in in Toronto at that time on antenna
@@iNaaailsJudging from his 3rd sentence, he’s probably speaking of the events in Samuduha, a Kigali neighborhood. You can see some moments of that in the 1st two minutes of _“Ghosts of Rwanda”._
When I was on a missions trip in byumba, Rwanda, hearing the stories of survivors was crazy.
I understood the possibly oversimplified narrative that the European colonial leadership in Rwanda figured that if they could pit Rwandan against Rwandan they could secure their hold on the land. So they themselves sorted through the peoples of the land, whom I understood were heretofore diverse? And looked at individuals, and arbitrarily decided if this person was a willowy, fine-featured Tusi, or a stocky and coarse-looking more primitive Hutu. The thing was, only on of ten people were deigned to be Tusi, making them the privileged trustees of the land, minor nobility among the primitive types, with societal advantages enough they might fight not to lose their positions. The only trouble was, this was bound to breed resentment among the Hutus, just as a neglected sibling is likely to seethe if his brother is shown favor.
So basically the plot of "Who killed captain Alex" movie.
I remember an interview with Condalisa Rice where, despite many questions pressing her on the genocide occurring in Rwanda, she refused to confirm that genocide was, in fact, happening. Had she admitted that genocide was indeed under way in Rwanda armed forces from around the world, would have been obliged to do something about it because of the treaty signed at the end of WW11.
Why is it up to whites to stop africans from ending each other ?
I can tell who is American in these comments by the ignorant comments. Listen to the history and learn something rather than pointing fingers to defend your favorite skin color!
To reiterate and expand upon what one commenter said, racism and a sense of superiority isn’t unique to Europeans only, nor is it only restricted to being racist against and feeling more superior than groups from a different ethnicity. The ancient Romans are a perfect example of what I just said; to say that the Romans weren’t racist towards/felt superior over their neighbors to the north (the “barbarian” Gauls, located roughly between central Italy to Germany (stopping at the Rhine river) and just short of the Iberian Peninsula) would be a “laugh in your face” offense because not only did the Romans hate the Gauls who were of the same skin color, they hated absolutely everyone else as well because that was what it meant to be a Roman, to be superior to your neighbors, to conqueror them and win honor, fame and glory for yourself and Rome.
What a name for a radio station, I wonder if they also had a catchy jingle announcing it and an energetic host introduced as DJ'nocide
Hi, could you make a video about the rape, committed by American occupiers in Japan. It's one of the most unspoken attrocities in the aftermath of WW2, so it's very difficult to find much info about it, but there was apparently quite much of it and it was quite organized.
I believe that's scheduled AFTER the video they're doing about the WWII Japanese cannibalism, sexual slavery, human experimentation, and forced labor. So you'll just have to wait. 🤷♂️
History is written by the victors, but the part they don’t talk about are the difficult truths we tend to omit. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if people would be offended by this statement because they would be adamant it never happened.
Rape everywhere. Korean women,natives and nanking raped by japan. Japan and natives raped by the USA. The USA raped by ….
The two Atom Bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima were surely in the top 5 of the worst war crimes of WW2! The bombs were completely uncalled for and deliberately targeted civilians. The US had created their A Bombs and were utterly DESPERATE to try them out on a city to see what would happen. The second Japan surrendered the US sent loads of scientists to examine the devastation and effects on survivors. The US likes to say it was the only way that Japan would surrender but that is BS as Japan was on the verge BEFORE the bombs dropped. They just REALLY wanted to try out their disgusting new weapon and also used the tests (and all those tens of thousands of dead!) as a blatant threat to the rest of the world!
This one actually surprises me because talking to survivors of the European theater of world war II, they say that the Americans were wonderful and kind, but they have very different stories about the Soviets. Now I know there was a story roughly 20 years back of a Navy sailor who raped a 14-year-old Japanese girl and that made news in the United States and he was harshly dealt with. I believe he was imprisoned by the USA and then turned over to Japan? Or he was immediately handed over to Japan after the US determined his guilt? I don't remember the exact details. All that to say, I would be very surprised to hear about such acts in Japan, just because even at the time it was inconsistent with the way American soldiers were reported to behaving. And I have been to Hiroshima twice. There is no mention of any of this there. So I'm not saying it didn't happen but I'm saying if you're going to make the assertion that it did, it would be good to give some sort of backup to those claims
As I watch this, I'm reading Shake Hands with the Devil by Gen retd Romeo Dallaire, The UN mission commander.
True evil took place there, but also there was evil on the side of all of the bystanders who watched and did nothing when they could have helped.
What could they have done? Maybe hidden someone, I suppose!
@@lucykelly7152 dont you know that america and white people are the worlds police?
They could’ve did anything necessary, except for being cowards which is in fact, that they should not have been especially the Gowanda army!!!!!
Very nice work, I think I hit the subscribe botton
You know how the Armenian Genocide, Holocaust and even Coronavirus have their own little box directing you to a Wikipedia page? Why doesn't this one have it? It's just as important to know.
04:00 this is a good point, the Europeans didn't created every ethnic tension that today exists in Africa, although they in several cases used ethnic divisions to profit and consolidate their power.
They had reasons to not allow ethnic violence (unless they were the perpetrators) in his colonies, a colony divided in wars was not profitable.
_“They had reasons to not allow ethnic violence (unless _*_they were the perpetrators)_*_ in his colonies”_ They were indeed the perpetrators for the 1st several years of the anti-Tutsi genocide in Rwanda (1959 - 1962). US literature almost always avoids this particular period. Both the eisenhower (republican) and the kennedy (democrat) administrations were compromised in it, a fact that may explain this odd avoidance by both sides of the political spectrum.
The result is that this decisive period remains a blind spot in most videos on Rwandan history.
@@rutondeahhh yes, the accountable african pops up again to shift the blame of his own atrocities on to those who did not comitt them. This happened after blacks GAINED indepedance. Racist hypocrites
For instance this decisive period (1959-1962) remains a blind spot for -> @@FHARTZENGIGGLES
The Europeans threw gas on the fire and pretend that they are not responsible
😂😂 what did we do
@@subconsciouslyinyahead7977 What did they do? _The Muse Report._ It’s online.
The amount of racists in this comment section who are either racist to black people or racist to white people is absolutely mindblowing.
I think that while we possess the capacity for kindness, conflicts can trigger overtly violent reactions. Sometimes we might view some violence as fair or justified, but my point is that we are angry beings. For instance, what begins as innocent play between two children can escalate into physical aggression in a matter of seconds. We, as humans, grapple with anger, with some individuals exhibiting it more prominently than others because they also cherrished it.
I often ponder if specific incidents, such as these, serve as convenient outlets for the anger and even sadistic tendencies inherent in all of us. In the absence of any hindrance, our actions can escalate, and the manifestation of anger, resentment, and violence can become exceedingly brutal.
Exelente trabajo!, seria bueno en algun momento. Subtitulos en castellano.
As a Rwandan and a child of survivors, I truly appreciate your effort. However, we have to acknowledge that colonialism and colonialists played a major role in sowing the ideology and hatred in the public at the time for their own personal profits. So, YES, they're responsible for what happened. Before them ethnic tribes were just words and meant nothing at the time, but because of them, they initiated the "divide and conquer" to drive Rwandans apart.
and this attitude and ignorance is exactly why africa remains the pit that it is. grow up, get a real education and take some responsibility for your lives and problems..
Exceptional content of integrity and ethics 😊
The real question is...where and when will this happen again? Just a matter of time.
Another good question is, where did the machetes come from?
An interesting video, well presented
I think it is more than relevant to discuss the threats of genocide against whites in South Africa. Political parties, including the ruling party) are singing, "kill the boer (Afrikaans farmer)" and "shoot to kill". Julius Malema, a leader of one of the Marxist parties is threatening to "cut the throat of whiteness". The Hutus were incited to commit genocide through the same kind of rhetoric in Rwandaand Burundi. The human right's council in South Africa, in their infinite wisdom declared that "kill the boer" is a cultural song of the struggle against apartheid and is not considered inciteful or hateful. Crickets from the rest of the world who professed to care about human rights during apartheid, but turn a blind eye now that whites, and other minorities in South Africa are being threatened.
Threatened? More like actively mass murdered! The rate of farm murders has a higher death rate than the Afghanistan war the USA fought. It is an active genocide.
those white have no right whatsoever to be in that country the heck u talkin about
Who cares mate it’s white people. If he was singing about Jewish people the world would be in an uproar.
why did you need to bring up white racism in a story of black racism?
It's all very well for the speaker to say that European influence didn't cause all this mayhem, im a Kenyan and from when we were small children it was obvious that the English didn't want any cohesion among Africans, there's a big difference between rivalry and hatred, the colonialist encouraged and stoked hatred big time!!!
This war was Hell, no question about that. Now Pau Kagame, a Tutsi, is in power and he rules the country as a dictator. Apparently, he and Rwandan Patriotic Front fear majoritarian rule will destabilize Rwanda again.
word of advice, don't talk shit without knowing facts.
@@sammygasanatell em
Rwanda is one of the fastest growing economies
@@igpxmaster They applied to join the British Commonwealth - and the application was accepted.
So I doubt it is ruled as a Dictatorship.
A movie about this genocide that is better then Hotel Rwanda is "Sometimes in April" very VERY good
"there is a long complicated history between the tribes..." meaning they already hated eachother. But lets pretend that they needed to be taught that by the europeans. Where did the europeans learn it? It's rather flimsy narrative, but popular none the less.
The Holy Bible says the fallen angels taught man the art of war. So, ultimately, it goes back to them. This world is ending, now. Soon, God will punish the guilty, forever!
Yeah it's annoying that somehow it's always Europeans to blame. It's pathetic really.

Sounds like today's rap music. Horrifying event!
I saw the video title in the right column and wondered what event this could be about.
Ah, that one.
I remember mom rushing 5- or 6-year-old me out of the room when the news talked about this. 12 years later, as a high school senior I took a class on the Holocaust and toward the end of the semester we had Rwandan penpals. I still have that guy's letters somewhere but I probably won't have a YT account tomorrow if I type out some of the stuff he remembered. He was the same age as me.
I was a So Edgy 17-18-y.o. Warhammer nerd who had just taken a class on the Holocaust, and had to grab my jaw off the floor.
Wow
Great documentary, well investigated. We need to be educated about the development of genocides for prevention!
First time I understand the reason for this Genozide 😢so thanks for sharing from Germany 👍
Sounds like jealousy at its worst 😔😔😔😔
Not just jealousy, but victimhood. This video says the hutus's land was taken from them and given to the hutus. That was theft! The land should be returned to the hutus!
Nope it was help by the french to clean the tutsi that dont like colonialism
Noone helped them cuz noone had a special interest there! Its crazy how we, the U.S., act like the world police, but then stay SILENT during horrible atrocities, when we have nothing to gain! 💔
People “America you didn’t do enough! You didn’t act quick enough! This is your fault! You need to PAY!”
Same people “America need to mind it’s own business! What was America doing there anyways! Who does America think they are telling other countries how to act” 😂😂😂😂 I hate this world
My sentiments, I am sick of it.
Hard to believe that happened so recently.
Absolutely horrific. They had to lose their minds, honestly. No one in their right mind should be able to hack people to death!!! I understand crowd mentality or fear pf dying myself if i didn't do what i eas told but this?? Smh
As an african i can tell you they have sane minds they just believe their actions are logical. To europeans it looks like insanity. This is why africa is a basket case. Their thinking and reasoning and lacl of accountability.
@@FHARTZENGIGGLES It has always been that Europeans (and Americans) do not understand or consider the reasoning behind the actions of other groups. They dont consider religion, values, families, histories, etc. They think those groups/people should have the same logic as the Europeans. It does NOT work. It has lost millions of people to genocide, abuse, starvation and just indifference and not caring. We often fear people that are 'different.' And, no one wants someone else to be 'better' than them. Sad, true, and it keeps us from ever reaching our potentials as a species.
The brutality of the human race. We’ll ever get off this planet.
i love how he clearly states this was NOT a product of European influence then lays a 30 minute case of how this is definitely caused by them & they sat back let it happen then walk in when its over like stop it. so crazy
07:22 Its normal in a system when someone's land is dominated by an outside power that sees you like inferior, to try to convince the occupant that you are closer to they, and in some cases join the discrimination against another peoples that the occupant considers inferior, so you promote yourself in a higher place in this racial or ethnic hierarchy, i.e, in a place more close to the colonial elites, thus having special and better treatment.
Some examples were some countries occupied by germany in ww2, were NSDAP considered this people racially inferior, but the collaborationists try to convince the germans that they were part of the aryan race, and joined the persecution against ethnic minorities, to put themselves as equal to the occupying force, and worty of being treated well, or even gaining more independence for being a loyal subject and a better place in their empire.
