Hotel Rwanda

As I read the website and saw the movie, I was very shocked to see how the people in Rwanda are having trouble. As I saw Tutsi people get killed, it made me wander, how can same ethnic group hate each other? I was sad to see how same ethnic groups, Hutu and Tutsi were killing each other. It also made me look at it similar to Korean War. The same ethnic groups, North and South Korea, had a war and is now separated. Similar to Korean War, the people in Rwanda was killing each other just by how they look. As I researched about some information on Rwanda Genocide, I couldn't resist my feelings. As I read the article, on the 100th day, about 800,000 people of Rwanda have been killed. As I saw that number and thought about it, it felt like it was such a big number. It says that 800,000 is almost 10% of the entire population. If I think about it, 800,000 people means that the Hutu people killed nearly 8,000 people every day. In my opinion, there should be no such thing as war, because it only kills innocent people for the good of their leader.
