MADY HARPER'S GENOCIDE JOURNAL

RWANDAN GENOCIDE

• The genocide that I am doing is the Rwandan
• genocide. Rwanda is in East Central Africa, east of Democratic
• republic of the congo with Uganda. In 1994, is the date of the
• occurrence, of Rwanda. Also, before 1994, the term
• genocide did not exist.

COUNTRY

• The name of the country is Rwanda, Africa.
• It is very small and it is about the size of Maryland.
• Also, it is a few degrees South of the equator. Then,
• It is rainy during February and April and it is dry in the
• Summer. Finally, there are a lot of animals in Rwanda.

PEOPLE

• The perpetrators were “The Interhamwe”
• and “The Impuzamugambi. Also, these perpetrators
• did most of the killing. Then, the victims that they were
• killing were the ”Tutsi.” There were 800,000-1,000,000
• victims that died. Finally, they were victims because it was against racial reasons.

WHY?

• The genocide of Rwanda occured because of long
• standing rivalry. This is between Tutsi and Hutus which
• went back to he colonisation. When the Belgians arrived in 1916,
• they saw the two groups as distinct entities. Then, over a hundred years
• Hutus began to resent the Tutsis domination of politics.

COMMANDER

• The commander of the perpetrator is the government
• of Rwanda. It is also called, the MRND. Also, an inter-
• esting fact is the Rwandan genocide is the only one that
• is unfolded before the eyes of the national media. Another
• one is there are 300,000-400,000 survivors of the genocide.

COMMANDER CONTINUED

• Next, 75,000 of survivors were orphaned as a result of
• the genocide. Finally, there were men, women, and children
• that were killed every minute.

TREATMENT

• The victims were treated very badly because they were
• murdered and stuff like that. Also, they might have been
• whipped and beaten down. Then, the victims could have
• been hung until they weren't alive anymore. Finally, this
• is how they were treated.

CAMPS

• The concentration camps put some of the
• victims in the concentration camps. So that the
• the victims worked hard and doesn't sit down the whole
• time. Also, some of the victims might have not gone to the
• concentration camps. They, might have just gotten killed.

PERSECUTED

• The people who were treated unfairly was not fair
• at all. Also, all the people that got killed shouldn't have
• gotten killed. This is because they were poor and innocent.
• Then, it is also not fair because the people that were killing them
• they wouldn't like it if they were killing them.
