The Rwandan exiles created a group called the Rwandan Patriotic Front(RPF) which consisted mostly of Tutsis.

The Hutu also ordered everybody to have identification cards that indicated one's ethnicity. Inflaming ethnic tensions in Rwanda was a technique used by a few Rwandan leaders to keep power, and few attempted to integrate both groups peacefully into Rwandan society in the few decades leading to the genocide. Historically, however, most modern Rwandan historians believe it is a shame that there have stereotypical symbols used to differentiate between the Hutus and Tutsis because they were very likely just one race before the Belgians invaded. Pictured below is a man's nose being measured to determine whether he was a Hutu or a Tutsi." tyra_johnson https://padlet.com/tyra_johnson/59ye0oki9jr2/wish/234312588 2018-02-22 16:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tyra_johnson/59ye0oki9jr2/wish/234312588 the hutus thought of the tutsis as pests, they thought of them as less than human brittany_powers https://padlet.com/tyra_johnson/59ye0oki9jr2/wish/234312873 2018-02-22 16:18:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tyra_johnson/59ye0oki9jr2/wish/234312873 The hutus were called oppressed farmers,rulers of rwanda and the pure people. yan_doamaral https://padlet.com/tyra_johnson/59ye0oki9jr2/wish/234313410 2018-02-22 16:19:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tyra_johnson/59ye0oki9jr2/wish/234313410 the hutus used the plane crash with the president as a good excuse to blame the tutsis brittany_powers https://padlet.com/tyra_johnson/59ye0oki9jr2/wish/234314036 2018-02-22 16:19:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tyra_johnson/59ye0oki9jr2/wish/234314036 The tutsis were called talled trees and most famously Cockroaches. yan_doamaral https://padlet.com/tyra_johnson/59ye0oki9jr2/wish/234316814 2018-02-22 16:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/tyra_johnson/59ye0oki9jr2/wish/234316814 the kangura newspaper and rtlm radio were frequently used to give out signals to Interhamwe and other radical Hutu in the populace to go out and kill any Tutsi they could find.

If one was classified as a Tutsi, he or she was immediately killed. Soon, Hutus set up road blocks all across Rwanda. The role of road blocks in the genocide are made clear in a Amnesty International report Militia set up roadblocks in Kigali and its suburbs. Each individual passing through these roadblocks had to produce an identity card which indicates the ethnic origin of its bearer. Being identified as or mistaken for a Tutsi meant immediate and summary execution. yan_doamaral https://padlet.com/tyra_johnson/59ye0oki9jr2/wish/234322764 2018-02-22 16:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tyra_johnson/59ye0oki9jr2/wish/234322764 Video on RTLM Radio: tyra_johnson https://padlet.com/tyra_johnson/59ye0oki9jr2/wish/234323243
