This left Africa with a reduced supply of capable workers and leaders when they became independent. The impact of European imperialism is still felt today. Many resources were exploited, the peoples’ religion was changed, and tribal wars have led to civil wars in places like Rwanda and
Ways such as certain rights that are listed within the two documents. Although both the documents compare, they also contrast greatly such as in their provision of governmental structures. There are many rights that the State of Ohio holds that the U.S. Constitution does not. There are also amendments within the Ohio Constitution that are not listed within the U.S. Constitution as well. Due to the larger size of the Ohio Constitution, there are many amendments that appear to be unusual, in other words, are parts of the document that you wouldn’t expect to be part of their constitution.
[REDACTED] [REDACTED] Subject Date An Abridged History of Rwanda Rwanda is a small country located on the Eastern side of Africa that is south of Uganda and west of Tanzania. The country is mostly inhabited by two different ethnic groups, the Hutu and the Tutsi. These two groups have had tension between each other ever since Rwanda was established. Rwanda is most widely known for its mass genocide between the two groups that lasted between April 6, 1994 and the beginning of July, 1994. (Background) In the 1300's, the Hutus migrated from the North into Rwanda for the first time.
The civil war between the ethnic groups Hutu and Tutsi in Rwanda, like many civil wars in Africa, had colonial roots. However, the civil war took a extreme turn for the worst on a tragic day in April where thousands of Tutsis lost their lives in a relentless genocide that lasted a hundred days carried out by the Hutus. In this essay, I will explain the cause of the civil war, the 1994 genocide and the aftermath of the genocide. According to a articley called “Rwanda: How the Genocide Happeneded” in the BBC NEWS site, the conflict between the Hutus and Tutsi originated with the arrival of the Belgian colonist. Belgian colonial leaders and the Catholic Church deepened the racial divide between the majority Hutu populated country of Rwanda, by awarding Tutsi ethnic group better job and education opportunities.
Like the genocides of the past century, it will be notorious principally for its cost in human life" (Perl 25). The people in Darfur aren't that different from people like us. We have the same body functions/needs, they have faith in a higher diety like we do, etc. But most importantly, something that people seem to forget, they're people just like everyone else in the world. The Darfurians, targeted and attacked by their own neglectful government, entire villages burned and obliterated, men savagely murdered, women visciously raped, and children, unmercifully and sadly, meeting their forced ends as well.
It can destroy a person’s self esteem, community cohesion and even creates divisions in society. Racism has influenced wars, slavery, the formation of nations and legal codes. In addition, racism has been used as a powerful weapon encouraging fear and hatred of others in times of conflict and war. For this reason, during the Civil War, a huge presence of racism existed. One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest shows the different types of racism present during the Civil War.
In their colonial conquest, the British followed a policy of divide and conquer, allying with some African groups against others (“History, British Colonization”). One of the African groups were the Masai, who had lost a series of civil wars and much of their livestock to disease and drought.
Most of the deaths were Tutsis and most of those who were involved in the violence were Hutus. The genocide was sparked by the death of the Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, when his plane was shot down above Kigali (which is the capital of Rwanda) airport on 6 April 1994. It was only c couple of hours after the assignation of the president Juvenal Habyarimana violence spread across the capital and then the country and it took several months before the violence was ceased. Before the murder of the president there was already conflict between the Tuties and the Hutu’s since the country was
Prejudiced views between cultures may result in racism; in its extreme forms, racism may result in genocide, such as occurred in Germany with the Jews, in Rwanda between the Hutus and Tutsis and, more recently, in the former Yugoslavia between the Bosnians and Serbs. Henri Tajfel proposed that stereotyping is based on a normal cognitive process – the tendency to group things together. In doing so, we tend to exaggerate the differences between groups and the similarities of things in the same group. We categorize people in the same way. We see the group to which we belong (the in-group) as being different from the others (the out-group), and members of the same group as being more similar than they are.
This stemmed from the fall of dictator Said Barre’s communist government. Within 2 months, 20,000 people were killed (Forrest 1). The fuel for this fire was inter-clan strife. The various clans were all vying to fill the vacuum formed by the fall of the government. Then, things got worst.
