PART IV ASSESS VALIDITY.

Directions Evaluate each statement below. If false, then there is ONE WORD that needs to be replaced. Find it, and replace it with one new word. If true, then do not change anything.

1. The imperializing nations of Germany and Britain assumed control of Rwanda in the early 1900s and treated ethnic Tutsis better than the larger population of ethnic Hutus.

2. The murder of Prime Minister Agathe on April 7, 1994, showed that genocidal extremists within the government were determined to keep power out of the hands of moderate Hutus that might support the genocide.

3. Genocidal violence did not just occur in the capital city of Arusha but throughout the countryside; and not just in the streets but in churches and homes.

4. The genocide in Rwanda was driven by a powerful hatred that had been burning for years. This hatred had been fueled largely by imperialist propaganda, which presented the Tutsis as selfish power-hungry monsters who wanted to destroy the Hutus.

5. The current Tutsi government of Rwanda has accused the government of France of supporting the genocide in 1994 by helping to train extremist death squads and by participating in directly in systematic acts of extermination against the Tutsis.

6. It is likely that anti-Tutsi Hutus assassinated President Habyarimana because they were unhappy that his government supported the Arusha Accords, which would have paved the way for less power-sharing between Hutus and Tutsis in the Rwandan government.

7. While the civil war was being fought between Kambanda’s rebel Tutsis and the Rwandan Hutu army, many of the genocidal acts were being executed by a street militia known of the Interahamwe.

8. Habyarimana’s government reluctantly agreed to peace terms with rebel Tutsi forces in 1993 after enduring years of pressure and aggression waged in protest by the Tutsi RTLM and its leader Paul Kagame.

9. The commanding general of the UNAMIR force in Rwanda, Romeo Dallaire, tried unsuccessfully to persuade UN leadership to adopt a more isolationist approach to the worsening situation in Rwanda in the Spring of 1994.

10. By the time the Rwandan genocide ended – about 100 days after it began – 500,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus had been systematically exterminated.
