      Actually, technically, this man is the second. The first is called Mbonyumutwa Dominique. This man, Kayibanda served as his prime minister in the period between the abolition of the monarchy and the independence. However, he only served for less than 9 months. Kayibanda is also alleged to have mistreated him.

      Three. There’s also the Ikiza in Burundi, a massacre in 1972 based on racial hatred. It’s basically like the Rwandan genocide except the ethnic groups were swapped around. While the Hutus ruled Rwanda, the Tutsi dominated Burundi and Hutus were violently persecuted which only escalated tensions in Rwanda and in 1993 a revenge genocide occurred after the president was assassinated beginning a civil war that lasted until 2005 so actually it could be 4. Then Burundi’s new president was on the plane that was shot down and began the Rwandan genocide only escalating the civil war. And then there are the allegations that the RPF has launched a revenge genocide against Hutus during the Congo Wars so it could be five genocides. And then when you consider Belgium’s role in the fall of Patrice Lumumba leading to Mobutu who financed the Hutu rebels leading to his overthrow and increasing ethnic tensions which would lead to genocide of the Pygmy people. That’s now six. Belgium has been responsible for six genocides. And we call the British and French genocidal (although they were; I live in a country colonised by Britain and despite the controversies I know there was genocide there). To be fair to Belgium they were only directly responsible for one of them and even then it was just their king who was powerless in Belgium not the parliament (who is also powerless in Belgium; sorry, even in cases where Belgium is the bad guy I can’t help but joke about them) and recently they have apologised for the actions but still all six genocides were in the same region: central Africa. That’s a small area for six genocides. It’s not even across Africa, it’s just three countries two of which are quite small in size. It’s quite remarkable how a tiny country who was often the victim of imperialism itself back in Europe and even when they did have an empire it was kind of forced on them as they were demanded to take control of the Congo from the king could be responsible for so much destruction.

And to answer your question the Hutus in burundi only willingly followed the last king of burundi because he was the administered ruluer which the Belgium had approved to make sure people did not rebell. But before that they had a king named mwezi Gisabo who was of hutu/Bantu descent. The reason why hutu followed the new Tutsis kings was because many regional hutu rulers often took Tutsi women as their brides and there was no such thing as dna tests so eventually the whole royal lineage got messy and Tutsi eventually took control of the monarchy. So in general the only reason the Hutus of Burundi followed the new Tutsi kings was to uphold tradition. Which is pretty much also the same reason in Rwanda as well. When the Belgium and German arrived in Rwanda and Burundi they favored those with narrower facial features eventually they also approved who would rule mostly in Rwanda.

      He made international news in the 1960s, and for all the wrong reasons! Example:
      The Geneva Journal (Switzerland)
      TUESDAY 11 FEBRUARY 1964
      *Genocide in Africa*
      (From our correspondent in London)
      An *organized attempt at total extermination, a true genocide,* is systematically ongoing against the 250,000 members of the Tutsi tribe in Rwanda. The figure of 30,000 dead first cited was perhaps exaggerated. That of 15,000, given by the Prime Minister of Burundi, Mr. Ngendandumwe, upon his arrival in Nairobi on February 4, is around ten thousand lower than those [i.e. 25,000] reported by missionaries and other Europeans residing in the tiny republic, which has about 2,500,000 inhabitants.
      Whatever it really is, one shudders at the thought that no one is doing anything from the outside to put an end to this dreadful butchery, and that international opinion is not awake to the situation.
      The Hutus *decimate entire families, kill men, women and children without discrimination. They mutilate their victims and often they throw their dead bodies into the river Rusizi, blocking it in places. The massacres continue, according to Christian missionaries, at the average of a thousand a day.*
      Appeals have been made to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and to the governments of Tanganyika and Uganda, but no effective intervention has taken place. President Gregoire Kayibanda and his Hutus, blinded by hatred, appear *determined to annihilate the entire Tutsi tribe.*
      The two or three British newspapers which took the trouble to follow the unfolding of the terrible tragedy suggest a possible solution. In addition to an investigation that could be carried out by the Red Cross, they believe that the United Nations should act urgently to obtain either the evacuation of the Tutsi population to neighboring countries, or the creation, under United Nations protection, of a Tutsi reservation in Rwanda. Either way, close international monitoring would be necessary to prevent Kayibanda and the Hutus from continuing their horrific crimes.

    • @rutonde
      @rutonde 3 года назад

      Yep! They took over in 1916 and look at what they were already doing by 1918. Oppression and plunder galore. This confidential report was written up by a Belgian colonial officer (Lt. Oscar Defawe) and sent to the Belgian governor of Rwanda in March 1918.
      *STATEMENT FROM A MAN NAMED LUSESABAGINA:*
      Someone called Paul Lugniragugu [a Rwandan convert to Cάŧħȭlicism and acting as an agent for the colonial miƨƧΐȭnaries] came to my home and wanted to take my child to enroll him at Issawi Mission [the seat of a Cάŧħȭℓic pąrḭsħ]. As I didn’t want him to I said my child was sick. So, Paul ŧook away one of my cows. I asked him to give it back. But instead he showed up again and took two more cows.
      As I prȱŧeƨted, he ƨtȑǚcʞ ꬺę ώḭŧħ a ƨŧΐcʞ on ⴅꝩ ħęª₫ and ħªŋ₫ƨ, saying: “I’m ƀӚª₸ΐƞ₲ ꝩȭǜ ǘ₽ ḭŋ ϝȑȱƞŧ of ꝩȭǜr ώḭ ϝƏ so she can see it's because you don’t want to gḭʌę ⴅę your ₵ħḭℓ₫.” I did not dare to say anything. A few days later, Paul came back and tȱȱk away six more cows all at a once; hę ħḭŧ ⴅę ǡgǡḭŋ.
      So I went to find the Issawi parish priest [₩ħḭŧę Fǡŧħęr Leon Huntziger]; I brought him a large pot of honey as a present. He took me to a room and when I lodged my complaint against his ₵ħȑḭƨŧḭǡŋ convert [Paul Lugniragugu], he said to me: “You Tutsis, you are bad people. Don’t you remember it was Lugniragugu who saved you from the wħḭŧę troops of the Belgian Governor and now you pay him back by complaining against him?
      Before you came to see me you should have appealed to Paul first, and told him about your claim. It's up to him to come and explain the thing to me and not you. Since you want to make a claim against my ₵ħȑḭƨŧḭǡŋ convert, I do not want your honey; take it back with you.”
      From then on, I was so concerned about being thrown in jªḭℓ that I no longer dared to claim my cows.
      A few days later the prḭęƨŧ [Huntziger] called me and said to me: “Here’s a ₵ħȑḭƨŧḭǡŋ convert named Luke Bulambuka. Take him to your home and give him a banana plantation.” I did not dare to refuse; I took this man and gave him a banana field. The prḭęƨŧ sent Paul [Lugniragugu] to verify that I had given this field.
      Another time in my absence, *the prḭęƨŧ went to my home* and stood on top of the hill. While standing there he said: “The right side shall go to the ₵ħȑḭƨŧḭǡŋ [Paul Lugniragugu]; Lusesabagina can keep the other side.”
      The side he gave to this Hutu ₵ħȑḭƨŧḭǡŋ included the spring where my cattle had always gone for drinking water. This ₵ħȑḭƨŧḭǡŋ convert forbade me to go on his new territory. One time two of my goats crossed the new boundary imposed by Fǡŧħęr Huntziger, and his convert ꝃḭℓℓӚ₫ ŧħӚⴅ. I was afraid to complain because I knew the ₩ħḭŧę Fǡŧħęr would declare me to be in the wrong.

    I think earlier before the scramble and partition of Africa to create countries from kingdoms or chiefdoms, most people lived divided as tribes in the same area that we can size up as a country today. By then kingdoms or chiefdoms were like countries to their rulers. Those chiefs or kings that were power hungry or conquered other tribes , absorbed them and made them their subordinates. In order to overturn the status quo to become superiors, our communities kept in wars and continued genocides amongst tribes. Besides earlier pandemics, Africans kept on wiping out each other in this way and our populations kept very low or some tribes fully exterminated others. The Belgians provoked the Hutus by favoring the Tutsis thus igniting those tribal feuds. Not Only Rwanda and Burundi but almost the whole of Africa is still attached to tribalism and cultural heritage.

      Political differences. For example support for secularism. Favored by a new Belgian minister for colonies in the mid-1950s, but bitterly opposed by the colonial clergy and conservative officials. Demands for independence were another bone of contention. That was anathema in the ears of said officials and clergy at the time. Yet many activists who happened to be of Tutsi descent supported both of those causes. This brought intense colonial wrath not just against individual activists but also the entire Tutsi population, seen as a potential base for those causes. The criminal notion that Tutsi people had no right to live in Rwanda was launched at that time. Followed by genocide against them starting in 1959.
