It is hard not to take offense when you are a Hutu, and all you hear is about the Tutsi victims.
The Hutus in both Burundi and Rwanda were victims too. did they have a right to kill the the Tutsis? No, and vice versa. Both the Hutus and Tustis were perpetrators, killers and yes, victims. After reading a couple of books on the Burundian Confict and the Rwandan genocide, you have to wonder why the Hutus have become the "bad" guys all around. There were no angels by any means in these conflicts, and I doubt that it helps the situation that there has been a one sided factor in what has been years of conflict.
It is no fair to politically favor one group, and to some of us who come from there and have seen the ugly side of these "ethnic" conflicts, it is heartbreaking.
