Supposedly, these are the origins of the Hut-Tutsi massacres in the 1990's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_Genocide
It is not TRUE that the Hutus had the backing of the French and so "convenient" to blame the "colonial powers of past" for ALL their troubles. In fact, it's SO EASY to blame "foreign powers" for a hatred that begins internally. I quote Sri Lanka - and the troubles between Tamils and Sinhalas - oh sure, this could ALL be thrown in the laps of "foreigners" who "instigated" these tensions. I disagree with all this. And U.N. forces at the time said "we did the BEST we could!"
TOO many people died for nothing!
