Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article is concerned with the politics of genocide in
the Great Lakes region. It shows that basic disagreements between Hutu and Tutsi about who
committed genocide and why are traceable in part to the uncritical of the term genocide to
describe just about any type of ethnic violence, in part to the selective sifting of the
evidence with a view to exonerating one group and condemning the other. Although Hutu and
Tutsi are both guilty of genocide, the tendency to substitute collective guilt for
individual culpability in the planning and execution of the killings can only result in
distortion of the facts. There will be no peace in the Great Lakes region unless one takes
seriously the task of shedding light on the circumstances, the scale and the consequences
of the genocide of Hutu by Tutsi in Burundi (1972), of Tutsi and Hutu by Hutu in Rwanda
(1994) and of Hutu by Tutsi in Congo (1996-1997).
