You may have a black eye about History. Rwanda came for help to France 2 years before, and France conditionned its financial help to a democratisation process. - From here, about 150 parties got born. - The previous dictatorship, even of the majority, was protecting the minority, because they knew the international consequence on countries who don't protect the minorities. - Once a democracy, it was a leadership of the majority ethnicity (90% Hutu) so you bet they had no qualms about protecting the Tutsis. Tensions and invitation to violence soared immediately, but in a coveted speech. - A plane containing half the government was bombed, the country woke up without clear leadership, elections didn't happen fast enough. Citizen acted with their own machetes. Democracy means the majority owns the decisions. Doesn't mean they'll be good people.
