Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Political Science, 1998. === Includes bibliographical references (leaves 131-134). === The civil war in Rwanda included one of the bloodiest genocides of the twentieth century. This thesis explores the question of who is responsible for a crime that has claimed the lives of close to l million Rwandese and continues to be Rwanda's scourge. The thesis focuses on the most recent 1994 genocide in a historical context. It blames the traditional Tutsi monarchy, European colonialism, Hutu political extremists and both the indifference and inappropriate response of France, the United States and the United Nations for the evolution of the current crisis in Rwanda. The author found all of the accused partially or significantly responsible for the genocide. This thesis is an indictment of the guilty. === by Malaika Konjit Kamunanwire. === S.M.
