Hutus blocked roads to keep Tutsis in Rwanda so they were unable to escape. Machetes were the main weapon used to harm people. They required no training to use so, it was easy for the government to have Hutus participate in the killing.

This was based on their appearance and personality. The people with European aristocratic features were Tutsis. Tutsis were the educated and privileged. During the genocide, the Hutus targeted the Tutsis, and the Tutsis only. Few Hutus wanted to help and provide care for the Tutsis for everything they were going through.]]> 2018-03-02 13:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/adam_kaufman/6lg9ilzk7f1k/wish/237379824 facundo_montesinos https://padlet.com/adam_kaufman/6lg9ilzk7f1k/wish/237380813 The U.S kept the genocide under wraps as to avoid having to help the Rwandan people away from the genocide, Though after the news of the genocide got out, many people were enraged that the U.S didn't help, The U.S did not help because they say Rwanda not as a place in need, but as a third world country that was inferior to them. ]]> 2018-03-02 13:39:11 UTC https://padlet.com/adam_kaufman/6lg9ilzk7f1k/wish/237380813 emma_phillips1 https://padlet.com/adam_kaufman/6lg9ilzk7f1k/wish/237382790 The president Habyarimana used propaganda to divide the Hutus and Tutsis further.

The very small group of troops left were under orders not to use their weapons unless absolutely necessary. They were there as peacekeepers, not peacemakers. adam_kaufman https://padlet.com/adam_kaufman/6lg9ilzk7f1k/wish/237383978 2018-03-02 13:45:53 UTC https://padlet.com/adam_kaufman/6lg9ilzk7f1k/wish/237383978 Additional Countries kimia_mootabar https://padlet.com/adam_kaufman/6lg9ilzk7f1k/wish/237384321 Belgium, the UN, and France did not make an effort to help or involve themselves in the genocide, and therefore did not prevent any further killings from occuring. ]]> 2018-03-02 13:46:41 UTC https://padlet.com/adam_kaufman/6lg9ilzk7f1k/wish/237384321
