Ethnic Conflicts
In Many countries and many periods a person’s ethnic identity has had profound consequences for his or her physical safety, political status, and econiomic prospects. Violent confrontation along ethnic lines is the most apparent form of ethnic conflict, and it recently has claimed lives in such diverse places throughout the world. The three most terrible ethnic conflicts have been the conflict in Rwanda, the Arab-Israeli crisis, and the Holocaust during World war II.
One important ethnic conflict was the Hutu and the Tutsi conflict in Rwanda.There are two major ethnic groups in this African country: the Hutu and the Tutsi. When the country was colonized by the Belgians in 1916 they claimedthat the Tutsi were superior to the Hutu based on the idea that their skins were lighter and their features more European. As a result, the Hutus suffrered years of repression by the Tutsi.In 1994, the Hutus took revenge. Tutsi people were slaughtered, hunted out of their homes, killed with guns or machetes and left to die on the road by unofficial militia group called the Interahamwe (“those who attack together”) an Hutu civilians were forced to murder their neighbors and children were not spared in an insane effort ti wipe out the next Tutsi generation. Over 800000 Rwandans were killed in the space of 100 days.
The Arab-Israeli conflict is when starts the end of the British mandate in Palestine and after the founding of the state of Israel, where many Jews had taken refuge because of Nazi persecution. The conflict is territorial grounds, where the Jews claimed that they believed that land belonged to them as an inheritance from their ancestors. Then there was a UN agreement which was approved by the Jews and rejected by the Arabs, creating serious clashes between them.
The Holocaust was in WWII when a German named Adolf Hitler began a persecution against the Jews which was one of the worst and most cruel massacres of history, but persecution was not only in Germany was also in Russia, Europe East where the Germans had many contributors. The dead who had been many and the manner of death was not the best, because the Jews were tortured to death.
Ethnic conflicts such as in Rwanda, the Arab-Israeli crisis, and The Holocaust during World War II triggered the worst feelings a human being can have. Any country or society can go through such terrors. Different religion, race, and beliefs are not good reasons to kill each other. It depends on new generations not to repeat the terrible crimes against humanity committed in different times and places.
