Understanding Relations between Ethnic Groups – Rwanda

Ethnic conflict such as Genocide is one the most horrifying and inhumane things that can happen. As Carl Wilkens mentions in his interview “ people either have a very humane side or very devil side” and when Dallaire says when he went to talk to Hutu’s commanders and he felt he is not talking to human there bunch of evils in front of him; it shows the depth of darkness of the event.

Unfortunately it is happening over and over in different part of the world and there has not been any plan established to stop it. In my opinion it is mostly social education especially for poor people to make them aware of equality of genes in order to becoming a devil or an angel. We have seen the experiments of “A Class Divided” or “The Stanford prison”. People can become so cruel by having power or just the right to dominate other people. As we in the experiment of Ms. Elliot “A class divided” after people become educated they act differently. So awareness can be very helpful. When that Hutu Farmer talks about what they have been told by Hutu Commanders about the history of Tutsis to convince them that it is all right to kill them, it is self-explanatory that ordinary people can be so influenced so easily by false information. Some commanders can brainwash their people and estimulae them sociologically to use them to kill the others.
