Hutus are a different tribe (Bantu-speaking, flat noses, larger lips, originally came from the area around southern Nigeria/southern Cameroon/Gabon) than Hamitic Tutsi's (generally more intelligent, different language, cattle-herding culture, originally came from Ethiopia, most are taller with thinner lips and different noses).

Before the Hutus and the Tutsis arrived, most people in the area were Twa (pygmies), but the Hutus wiped most of them out centuries ago.

Tutsis dominated the Hutus for centuries despite being less numerous. The Hutus were resentful of that, and were afraid the Tutsis might once again become the dominant group in Rwanda.

That is exactly what happened anyway - Mugabe and his Tutsis have been the dominant group since the war ended in July 1994.

released by the National Security Archive at George Washington University which showed that the US, Britain and the United Nations were explicitly warned that a "new bloodbath" was imminent in Rwanda.

Rather than increasing the power of the UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda (Unamir), the governments of John Major in Britain and President Clinton in the US were considering rowing back the peacekeeping effort, according to the cables.

But in reply Noterdaeme said that both the US and UK were opposed to action. "Not only are the United States and the United Kingdom against it, they may even, according to their delegations, withdraw Unamir altogether in case of difficulties... There is a financial logic behind this: the United States never wanted more than 500 men for Unamir," wrote Noterdaeme. The UN, he added, was against intervention in the former Belgian colony and "not inclined to adjust the rules of engagement".

Freedom, it's a good thing you decided to bring their features into it because that's the same thing your people did and planted the seeds that led to that genocide millenniums later.

“The true cause of the Rwandan Genocide was the negative influence of the European colonists on the relationship of the Hutus and Tutsis"

One race was subservient to the other, but besides that, the relationship remained relatively civil, until approximately the 19th century.

The 19th century brought with it two separate factors that increased racial tensions between the Hutus and Tutsis. These factors were colonisation coupled with land redistribution problems. The land problems created a system of patronage known as Uburetwa or Ubuhake. These words mean “to work for access to land”, and consequently, implementation of this system made the Hutus who were not part of the nobility serfs that worked on the land. The relationship between the Tutsi and the Hutu started to descend to crude lord-vassal interactions at this point in history, and the arrival of the German colonists in the late 1800’s served to add to the problem, as they endorsed the Tutsis’ power over the Hutus’. The colonists did a lot to engender the future tensions between the two races. Their worst contribution was racial science.

British Indian army officer John Hanning Speke was the creator of the racialist hypothesis known as the “Hamitic Theory”. In his writings, Speke suggests that the Tutsis are more European than the Hutus. Their caucasoid facial features, combined with their smoother personalities was proof enough for him that they were more cultured than the Hutus. This theory was basis for all racial and cultural division between the Hutu and Tutsi in later years. It made specific definition as to how one race was superior to the other, therefore giving said superior race much power and influence

.

After World War I, Belgium was given control over Rwanda. The Belgians increased the divide between the Hutus and Tutsis through the use of the eugenics, which was rather popular at the time (i.e. Nazi Germany). Skull measurements showing larger brain size, greater height, and lighter skin tones all reaffirmed the Tutsis’ superiority over the Hutus, by providing proof of their apparent greater purity and closer ancestry to Europeans.
