The liberation war started by the �Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) to liberate �their country. Many of these were �young people� who needed to come back to�their country.�Problems first arose in 1959 when the Tutsi were chased from the country, their homes destroyed and burnt�and they were made refugees in neighboring countries.
In 1990, the liberation war started in Kagitumba, Mutara, in the eastern region near Uganda. At the very beginning, the RPF was spearheaded by Rwigema. These forces�longed to come back to�their motherland, and to bring their parents back home as well as show to young persons who were born outside Rwanda, their father�s homeland. They were patriotic, wanted to live in peace, to stop being refugees. Rwigema died at the very start of the war, it was sad and bad but the war did not stop, they continued and called Kagame who was a student in America to take over and be the commander.
In 1994, took place the genocide against the Tutsi where over 1 million of people died in the country, the latter were killed because of how they were born. The population had genocide ideology from colonization period. The Rwandans started to kill other Rwandans in different hills of the country, neighbors kill his neighbors, a husband killed his wife and his kids,
