The Economic & Geopolitical History of Rwanda Part II: Post Independence Struggles, The Rwandan Civil War, & The Precursor to Genocide
Submission statement: This article uncovers the economic failures of the first two Rwandan Hutu Presidents, Kayibanda and Habyarimana, who scapegoated and oppressed Tutsi to mask their struggles. Ethnic/Caste killings between Hutu-led Rwanda and Tutsi-led Burundi forced many to flee across borders. This cycle escalated when Tutsi exile, Paul Kagame, led his Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) to invade Rwanda from Uganda, triggering the Rwandan Civil War (1990-1994). France, Belgium, and Congo intervened and backed Habyarimana, while Uganda supported the RPF. This article discusses events before the genocide.
