TED-Ed: What caused the Rwandan Genocide? | Susanne Buckley-Zistel

The video discusses the Rwandan genocide, tracing its roots to colonial influence that exacerbated ethnic tensions between the Hutu and Tutsi. It covers the civil war, the genocide's outbreak, and the international community's inadequate response. Post-genocide, Rwanda faced challenges in delivering justice, leading to the adaptation of traditional kachacha courts to expedite trials. The video highlights the mixed reactions to these trials and the ongoing struggle for reconciliation.
