第八名:卢旺达种族大屠杀

Like the Maori and Moriori, the Hutus and the Tutsi likely originated from common ancestors—offshoots of the Bantu people. In fact, there was little delineation between the two at all before the arrival of Belgian and German imperialists. The Europeans divided the two groups mostly by economic status, with Tutsis being wealthier (the ownership of ten cattle being the base requirement). Indeed, if a Hutu came into money, he could change his status to that of a Tutsi. For many years, the Tutsi were the prevailing class in Rwanda, enforcing their rule in some cases with great violence against the Hutu people. But in the early 1990s a revolt began, which saw Hutus engaging in the wholesale slaughter of Tutsis. Hundreds of thousands were killed—the preferred method of execution being the machete, as ammunition was too expensive and difficult to come by. Rape, mutilation, and the deliberate spread of disease were also used as tools of terror. There are highly divergent accounts of the final body count, with some people claiming that there were five hundred thousand victims, and others that there were well over a million.
就如同毛利人和 莫里奥里人,胡图人和图西人源于同族——都是班图人的分支。事实上。在比利时与德国入侵前两族几乎没有区别。欧洲使用经济地位将其分裂了成了两个团体、图西族更为富有(基本要求是所有者拥有10头家畜)。甚至如果胡图人赚了钱,他会将种族改为图西。多年后,图西族在卢旺达占据了统治地位。他们强制使用法律侵犯压榨胡图人。但是在90年代初期,胡图人发起了起义,大量的胡图人参与了对图西族大规模的屠杀中。成千上万的人被杀——他们更偏爱的屠杀方式是使用弯刀,因为炮弹太昂贵也太难入手。强奸,焚尸,用可怕的工具故意传播疾病。最后计算伤亡的时候有较大的分歧,一些人声称有50万受害者,其他人认为超过了100万。
