Rwanda

I.                     Last week’s question was do you think there is enough food in the world to feed everyone? There are enough resources in the world for everyone to get 4.3 pounds of food a day.

II.                  This week in class we talked about Rwanda. We watched a video on the situation between the Hutu and the Tutsi. We learned that the reason for the discrimination was because the Belgians told them they needed to choose a race. There isn’t even a huge difference in the way the look. And yet the races are trying to eliminate each other.

It’s crazy to us that these two groups are trying to kill each other for what seems like no reason at all. But what is even harder to believe is that it seems as if there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. We received a time line of all the major events that happened in the Genocide. It seems as if the help gets pulled out of Rwanda more than it gets put in. However it’s always hard to judge military actions when you aren’t really in the situation with all the information. They could have been, and most likely were, doing what was best for the situation.  

III.                What are the differences between the Tutsis and the Hutus?
