Uganda’s political parties originated during the colonial period, influenced by religious, ethnic, and regional divides. The two main parties, the Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) and the Democratic Party (DP), were established in the 1950s. The DP was primarily Catholic, while the UPC had Protestant and northern support. Kabaka Yekka (KY) emerged as a Buganda-based monarchist party. These parties reflected Uganda’s diverse societal structure and shaped its post-independence political landscape.

Harriet thank you for being a contributor to this platform, We normally try to avoid sensitive questions such as this one, but since you asked, here is our response:
The Rwandan Genocide emerged from several interconnected historical and immediate causes:
Colonial Impact (1894-1962): German and Belgian colonizers institutionalized ethnic divisions by introducing ID cards and favoring Tutsis in education and administration. This created deep social inequalities and resentment.
Post-Independence Period (1962-1990): After independence, Hutu leaders reversed the power dynamics, implementing discriminatory policies against Tutsis. Many Tutsis fled to neighboring countries, forming rebel groups like the RPF (Rwandan Patriotic Front).
Immediate Triggers (1990-1994):
The genocide was systematically planned by Hutu extremists who used existing ethnic tensions and economic frustrations to mobilize mass participation. State media, particularly RTLM radio, played a crucial role in spreading hate propaganda and coordinating attacks.
Understanding these causes remains vital for preventing similar tragedies and promoting lasting peace in the region.
