After getting my paper peer edited on Friday and reading other research papers, I realized I had a lot of work to do in order to improve my paper. So today I started doing a lot more research for my paper so I could add more statistics to it since lack of statistics was the main weakness of my paper. During my research I came across a few really good websites all reliable and full of great information. These websites gave me a better understanding of the history of Rwanda and they are all up to date and have a lot of interesting statistics.
Today was definitely a very productive research day for me. I learned about all the different conflicts between the Hutu and Tutsi throughout history that lead up to the genocide in Rwanda. The conflicts began when the Belgians colonized Rwanda, they treated the Tutsis better than Hutus and they considered them more superior. So the Tutsis started leading better lives and considered themselves better than the Hutus and they were soon higher in Rwanda’s social status than the Hutus. This caused major conflicts between the two races along with a few other major events that caused a great deal of tension and hostility in Rwanda leading up to the genocide. I definitely recommend that you guys visit and browse through these websites since Rwanda’s history is rather eventful and interesting.
