According to the United Human Rights Council, “Rwanda’s population in 1994 consisted of three ethnic groups.” These ethnic groups primarily included Hutu, Tutsi and Twa. However, Hutu extremists believed the entire Tutsi tribe was responsible for the country’s increasing political and social pressures. The consistent push of propaganda and jaded politics created intense animosity that resulted in a distinctive separation of class between Hutu and Tutsi.
