Beginning in 1994 and lasting only 100 days, the Rwandan Genocide is one of the most notorious modern genocides. During this 100 day period between April and July 1994, nearly one million ethnic Tutsi and moderate Hutu were killed as the international community and UN peacekeepers stood by.

To understand how such a tragic event could happen, the Rwandan Genocide must first be seen as the product of Belgian colonialism. It was during colonial rule that Rwanda’s ethnic groups: Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa became racialized. It was the rigidification of these identities and their relationship with political power that would lay the foundation for genocidal violence. When Rwanda gained independence in 1962, the ethnic majority, Hutus, were left in power. Hutu rule resulted in widespread discrimination against Tutsi, laying the groundwork for the 1994 genocide.

Looking at the bolded, you would ask yourself why the UN peacekeepers looked on during the murders of Tutsis. Would they hve done that if it was in Europe or America or if those being killed were white people?

Why did the Belgians intentionally give power to the Hutus instead of the more intelligent Tutsis who by the way were the traditionally recognized precolonial rulers of Rwanda?

Why won't Africans demand that Africa be recreated and recalibrated based on traditional tribal lines and alliances?

With independence, the Hutus consolidated power and facilitated widespread discrimination against Tutsi, excluding Tutsis from prominent careers and implementing education quotas. A Hutu Power ideology emerged, grounded in the Hamitic Hypothesis, in which Tutsi were recognized as foreigners to Rwanda, rather than an indigenous ethnic group. This racist ideology, initially propagated by Germany and later Belgium during colonization, argued Tutsis were inferior to the Hutu majority. This theory would be used to incite the genocide in 1994. In the months and weeks before the genocide began, Hutu radicals began compiling lists of potential Tutsi targets and moderate Hutus. In addition, the Hutu dominated government began stockpiling weapons, including machetes. These machetes and other rudimentary weapons would be the tools that carried out the genocide.

A country called Nigeria was about to be independent from foreign rule.
A Yoruba man proposed that a room should be created so that any group of people who don't feel like being part of Nigeria should leave, lgb0s said "NO" and classed it as treason.
An Ogoni man made an attempt to leave the country 6 years later, lgb0s went ahead and sqûàshèd him and his army then lined him up for death.

Few months later, same lgb0s annexed a few tribes and decided to leave Nigeria that same them made it an offense to leave.
They were st0pped, they took a big hit because they can't provide their own food yet went into war, they dîèd of stàrvàtîon.
They now taught it to their children that they saw that the country Nigeria won't prosper so they wanted to leave, they made it look like they are the only ones who had foresight, because other tribes don't want them to leave, those tribes came to murder them in their millions one fateful day when they were sitting peacefully and quietly in their homes.



lgb0s are so intelligent that they didn't have any reIevance until white men came and created Nigeria.
Nigeria gave lgb0s reIevance, they were just a group of prîmîtîvè people Iiving in hamlets and viIIages with scanty cIothings until white men came and gave them what they call their traditional attire today.

They are so intelligent that in their history, they haven't built any successful society that stand tall amongst it's peers.

Two of the five most intelligent African tribes suffered genocides. Is it mere peer tribe jealousy or the hand of the colonialists?

Sirianese:
No tribe is more intelligent than the other in this modern world

In mid-1993, Hutu radicals launched their own radio channel, Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM). The channel would be used to incite hatred towards Tutsi by using propaganda and racist ideology, such as the Hutu Ten Commandments. On April 6, 1994, when the President’s plane was shot down, killing both the Rwandan and Burundian presidents, the radical Hutu radio channel announced the deaths, urging Hutus to “go to work” and attack the Tutsi population. The genocide had begun.

They had Akwete clothings before the white man came.
If the British had not interfered in the Kiriji war which was raging in Yorubaland, maybe the population of our Yoruba people would be less than that of the Ijaws today.

Although throughout the centuries Armenians had been considered the “loyal nation,” and had risen to economic and civic prominence in the most important of imperial urban centers and in the capital, with the rise of Turkish nationalism their situation was becoming increasingly intolerable and untenable. The first Armenian political parties established around this period sought to address the increasing vulnerability of the Armenian cultural life in the empire, seeking political and economic reforms that would alleviate the growing discrimination towards the Armenian minority. This growing Armenian political awareness on one hand, and their economic overachievement in the Sultan’s domain on the other, would contribute to the atmosphere of distrust between Turks and Armenians.

"The horror of the Holocaust is not that it deviated from human norms; the horror is that it didn't. What happened may happen again, to others not necessarily Jews, perpetrated by others, not necessarily Germans. We are all possible victims, possible perpetrators, possible bystanders."

DomPerignon:
You created a thread to spew your supremascist bs at the expense of other nationalities by falsely claiming without no single shred of empirical evidence that you are the smartest tribe in Nigeria and Africa.

You then went on to relate your usual paradoxical victimhood side by side your false supremascist agenda while pushing the totally false narrative of genocide carried out by Nigerian state on your people during the civil war when it has since been debunked that most of the deaths on your side were as a result of self inflicted famine that ojukwu used to maximise global attention and self pity .

You also decided to blame the British who contributed a lot to civilizing you and bring you into the light.

There's no roonhere for your usual half truths and outright fabricated and recycled Biafra propaganda. It may work amongst your circles but we won't allow you disturb us here with your lies and propaganda against Nigerians .

Holocaust deniers maintain that events did not take place as they were written, and that Jews have propagated the myth in order to advance Jewish interests. In other words, Holocaust denial is a form of antisemitism as much as it is a part of the genocidal process—to deny the deaths of those murdered acts as a double-dying, as it seeks to erase the victims from history.

"Rwanda can be a paradise again, but it will take the love of the entire world to heal my homeland. And that's as it should be, for what happened in Rwanda happened to us all—humanity was wounded by the genocide."

Mbanda:
Nigeria brought war to Biafra doorstep and awolowo was on the side of Nigeria and their British colonialists.

DomPerignon:
This is pure lies.

Biafra invaded Midwest and was advancing to take Lagos.

Biafra also annexed Nigerians in the coastal provinces of Eastern Nigeria who never wanted to be in same region talk more country with you.
