Abstract

In this article the author describes the reason why someone would have participated in the Rwanda genocide.   Some of the reasons given were Land Shortage and youth extremism; fear and racial hatred.  The author concludes that the order to commit genocide might have come from higher up in the command; it was up to individuals in villages to decide if they would participate in it.
