Guyman02:


The Tutsis won the war and Paul Kagame a Tutsi became the president and accommodated the losing Hutus, he never seized any Hutu property nor give them $20 no matter the amount they had in the bank.
You cant compare that to the case of Nigeria where Igbos lost the war, did not get the presidency like the Tutsis and had properties and money in banks confiscated.
There was no indigenization policy at a time when the Hutus were too poor to participate having lost everything.
Your comparison is plain silly!
