    •   Checking... The Rwanda Crisis: History of a Genocide
      Note: someone seemed irritated at some parts of the Myths and realities of pre-colonial Rwandese society chapter, at least going by the pencil markings in my copy.⸺(Random)staplers

      • Racism, pp 5-6:
      • Page 10: "Rwandese monarchy". At this point, someone interested could probably break this and the above out into Ruanda-Urundi or a separate article.
        •    French: Peuples et rois de l'Afrique des lacs (1977) - Google Books - Seems authoritative, and may be written from an African POV
      • Page 14:
        •  ? The Cohesion of Opression (1988) - published by the Columbia University press that seems to have been overlooked in the bibliography page.
        •    French: Les clans du Rwanda ancien (1971) - Google Books Rwanda crisis gives plaudits to this book for its detail on Rwandese clans.
        •    French: Afrique, la face cachée (1992) - Google Books Rwanda crisis takes pains to point out this book was written by a Tutsi when citing the Belgian actions of replacing Hutu chiefs.
      • Page 23-ish: Only a brief mention of the German impact, but apparently is sourced from:
      • Page 46: "Quota Democracy"
      • Page 47: UNAR. It's the Cold War; the book describes the UNAR as being backed by Communist countries. According to the books, this was around the time Belgian-Tutsi relations began to sour, to the point of "letting [the Hutu] burn Tutsi houses without intervening". Looks like this (seemingly, at the moment) important detail is missing from this article and the Rwandan civil war... adding these details might take a while. And of course, the cited source below is also in French...⸺(Random)staplers
        •    French: Afrique, la face cachée (1992) - (Partially) blames the Cold War. Confusing aftermath. See above for details.
      • Page 50: Perceived aristocracy. By ithe time of independence, the book points out that, despite popular views, average incomes for Tutsi and Hutu were roughly the same: (4439 Tutsi, 4249 Hutu, 1446 Twa, Excludes politicians).
      • Page 53: Pre-genocide violence against the Tutsi ("150 Tutsi were killed around Astrida (Butare) in September-October 1961, 3000 houses [burned]... 22000 [displaced]"
        • See: Rwanda and Burundi (1970). Apparently came from a report by Richard Cox for the The Sunday Times.
      • Page 76: The country falls into a single party system under Juvénal Habyarimana
