Today we went over the maps! We finished the African presentations. We continued Africa presentations. These are my notes on Rwanda and I'll be adding onto them today.
Rwanda
- Majority Hutus VS Minority Tutsis: Europeans favored Tutsis and were more better at resembling the Europeans so they helped them more and supplied the more. They didn't help the Hutus and the Hutus weren't treated very well.
- All this began due to immigrating Europeans
- Hutus were very violent because they didn't have opportunities like the Tutsis so they tried to fight them as often as possible.
- Anyone who killed a Tutsi would be rewarded by the government. The government would give them land, a home, and money for doing what they were told.
- UN troops withdrew after the murder of 10 soldiers- they wouldn't suffer more death because the UN went to be a peace keeper and try to smooth it out.
- The Hutus finally left because the Tutsis finally fought back and pushed them out. They finally defeated them and are still in power today.
- There were 400 deaths a day for almost 100 days
- (Now on 5-7)
South Sudan
- Parties: Arab-Muslims
- Due to oil: they need it in the north of Sudan and it's all in the south, religion, power, and a few wanted freedom
- They had a peace treaty for 6 years where oil revenues were divided equally between government
- In Africa, they don't separate government and church & state, the church and state is part of the government
- South Sudan is currently it's own country and Sudan still interferes with South due to Oil
