Review and Analysis Contribution of Religious, National, Racial and Ethnic Groupings to the Rwandan Genocide. For an event of this magnitude, it would seem that little is actually known in the West; however, the estimates of the massacres of Tutsis by Hutus in Rwanda range from 500,000 to 1 million during the period April 6, 1994, when the genocide began, and the following July, when the Rwandese Patriotic Front's defeat of the Hutus ended the killing (Gourevitch 1998)
After a major rebel attack on a Khartoum military airfield, Khartoum's intention was to eradicate the rebels. Instead citizens were in the way and mass violence followed (Straus: 125)
I exhibit my amour de soi when I seek shelter and sustenance, defend myself against threats, or flee from danger" (Martin). This definition serves as a partial explanation for the actions of the Hutus, who largely believed that by killing their rival Tutsi -- who had controlled much of Rwanda for several years despite their status as a minority of the ethnicities represented within the country (Lemarchand) -- that they were effecting their own self-preservation
The influence of the latter of these terms on the action of the Hutus in Rwanda is fairly evident, since amour de soi is generally regarded as "concern with an organism's self-preservation. I exhibit my amour de soi when I seek shelter and sustenance, defend myself against threats, or flee from danger" (Martin)
Subsequently, too many Cherokee tribes people died during this journey to enable the state of Georgia to appropriate their land. It is difficult to pinpoint exact data for the number of the deceased during this terrible journey, some estimates indicate that as many as a fourth of the tribe perished while traversing these lands under military supervision (Blackburn, 2012)
The American Indian Movement was founded in the summer of 1968 by George Mitchell, Dennis Banks, and Clyde Bellecourt. Other notable figures associated with the group included Russell Means (Cook-Lynn, 2014)
Thus, the Cherokee tribe attempted to form its own nation in a move of recognized solidarity in accordance to that of Western society. One of the reasons the tribe adopted this method was to preserve its control of its native lands in Georgia, where a number of Cherokee tribesmen have always resided (Drew, 2014)
In doing so it certainly demonstrated its willingness to assimilate and to abide by American laws. Furthermore, its attempts were met with empathy by Supreme Court Justice John Marshall, who initially sided with the tribes and its claims to have become a sovereign entity (Sherman, 2006)
It is critical to realize that Wounded Knee was the site of a 19th century massacre of Native Americans. In the 1970's, however, members of the American Indian Movement had a standoff with federal and local authorities in the Native American community in this city (Wall, 1974)
Together, Cicilia and Anatolia make up most of present-day Turkish territory[footnoteRef:2]. [2: (Bloxham, 2005)] Armenian Genocide in Relation to WW1 At the time of World War I, eastern Anatolia's Armenians were either slain in situ - this fate was met by many male youths and men - or deported to the south, to the present-day Syrian and Iraqi deserts
During the period, western Armenia was ruled by Ottomans, while the small eastern region was ruled by Russia[footnoteRef:7]. [7: (Hovsepian, 2015)] At the time, in the year 1915, there wasn't anything controversial concerning the calamity that ethnic Armenians suffered
Efforts for settling the old crimes have been attempted by signing treaties with Turkey. [13: (Jacobs, 2014)] The government of Turkey has declared on more than one occasion that it was willing to think through and ultimately accept legal experts' and historians' conclusions, when they meet to investigate the 1915-1916 tragedies; this was, however, refused by Yerevan
The Armenian Revolutionary Foundation took the very same approach in beginning its mission for justice. [5: (Tacar
Greater numbers of children and women survived, but had to suffer horrifying depredations, rape, and abductions on these long marches[footnoteRef:8]. [8: (Thomas, 2015)] Prominent leaders of the age regarded the Armenians' massacre and deportation as WW1's worst atrocity
Romeo Dallaire's mission in Rwanda was to evaluate a peace agreement between the Hutus and Tutsis, which were two warring ethnic groups (Shiffman, 2008). He was the commander of the UN Observer Mission Uganda-Rwanda (UNOMUR), which was to evaluate the border between Uganda and Rwanda to ensure no military help was being provided across the border (Grunfeld & Huijboom, 2007, p

Romeo Dallaire's mission in Rwanda was to evaluate a peace agreement between the Hutus and Tutsis, which were two warring ethnic groups (Shiffman, 2008)
Part of the problem when it comes to journalists reporting on the area is that journalists are often condemned and shunned when they so much as ask about the region and what is going on there. Further, there are instances of journalists being told straightly and bluntly to not ask questions about the region when they are touring or otherwise engaging in journalism in Indonesia or anywhere around West Papua in particular (Davidson, 2015)
