To cut a long story short in Rwanda there were 2 major groups Hutu (majority) and Tutsi (minority).
They didn't really see themselves as different races but Belgian colonisers decided the Tutsi were better than the Hutus and so established a Tutsi monarchy and the Hutus were oppressed. Once Rwanda gained independence Belgian liberals felt bad about this so encouraged the Hutus to rise up against the Tutsi leading to the genocide of the Tutsis.

Thank God some people know what happened. It pains my heart to see people think that african just hate each and kill each other for fun. I remember someone made a stupid joke like that in the bey thread and people even laugh at it.
Oh by the way I don't think they felt bad about it, they just wanted to increase the anarchy and they succeeded at it.
