"War arises because of the changing relations of numerous variables--technological, psychic, social, and intellectual. There is no single cause of war. Peace is an equilibrium among many forces. Change in any particular force, trend, movement, or policy may at one time make for war, but under other conditions a similar change may make for peace." - Wright, 1965

Even though the two ethnic groups are strikingly similar in that they speak the same language, inhabit the same geographical areas, and follow the same ethnic traditions; the Belgian colonists who arrived in 1916 saw them as different and considered the Tutsis as superior to the Hutus. The Tutsis, of course, welcomed this idea and spent their years enjoying better jobs and educational opportunities than the Hutus. Thus, a feeling of resentment among the Hutus gradually built up until the Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, was killed when his plane was shot down on April 6, 1994. This was the fatal incident for the Hutu people, which sparked a campaign of violence spread throughout the country. (BCC, 2004) One hundred days and eight hundred...
