Hutu Power Radio Edit Meaning

1.

The radio station that broadcasted Hutu-supremacy propaganda in the movie "Hotel Rwanda" and also during the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda. The radio station focussed on persuading people of the Hutu tribe to attack the Tutsitribe. The genocide was fairly pointless as the Hutu and the Tutsiwere rough groups made by the Belgian occupying forces in Rwanda, based on physical appearence. When the Belgians left, the two tribes essentially lost their real purpose but still many uneducated Rwandans continued to discriminate against others based on tribes and this led to the 1994 Genocide. Nothing was done by other countries around the world to stop this tradgedy, apart from a small UN force which was not nearly big enough to save many people at all.
