RwandaGenocide or Civil War
The current state of affairs in Rwanda constitutes a catastrophe that never should have happened. Unfortunately, it has happened, but do the circumstances and outcomes warrant using the term "genocide"? Based on facts about the ethnic make up of Rwanda, there is abundant proof that this is actually a case of violent, ongoing civil wars, and the use of the term "genocide" is not justified.The major crime problem in Rwanda since 1994 has been mass murder, officially know as genocide, which has been prevalent in this country in the mist of years of civil war. Genocide is defined as the methodically planned eradication of a racial, political, or cultural group. The United Nations (1998) has declared in the Convention on the Punishment and Prevention of the Crime of Genocide of 1946, that "genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group..." (p. 1). Genocide represents a horror so special that the term has previously been used to described only two events in the twentieth century: the massacre of Armenians by Turks in 1915, and the Nazi Holocaust against the Jews. The United Nations (1998) stated that
Family life is central to society" (Rwanda, 2000 p 1). "The Tutsi king died, and the Hutu used the occasion to rise and kill thousands of Tutsi" (Feil, 1998, p. First, Rwandan and international authorities should deal more openly with ethnic issues. There is no proof of the deliberate plan to "wipe-out" the Tutsis or the Hutus. The best solution would be, for the United Nations and its members, to relieve Rwanda of its debts and send as much relief support as possible to enable Rwanda to get on its feet and start over. Rwanda has sentenced four people to death in a joint trail of 40 people charged with genocide. Rwanda is a landlocked, mountainous country in east central Africa. There have been several arrests and convictions related to the "genocide" in Rwanda. Are the Rwandans trying the right people for the crime committed?There are several proposed solutions for the problems of the ethnic conflict in Rwanda.
