روح الجاكاكا : دراسة في فهم عبقرية الصفح و التعافي و التنمية في المجتمع الرواندي

Abstract EN

The dramatic genocide that plagued Rwanda back in 1994 is a tragically known.

It constituted a despicable unprecedent event which claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, and displaced millions.

Albeit in grief and bereaved, the Rwandans weathered and overcame this tragedy by creating a unique model for achieving peace, security, reconciliation, and development.

Par excellence, the Rwandan experience is of great importance for the analysis and study of disasters and crises.

The lessons learnt from the Rwandan experience can provide all the people concerned ample opportunity to better anticipate and forecast possible scenarios and prevent such disasters from repeating themselves in the future.

It is interesting to note that relevant studies focus on a descriptive approach.

It is also important to stress that most applied studies seminal to policy-making approval as well as post-assessment studies on relief and development aid programs do not pay attention to the theoretical and interpretive dimension that unravel the ambiguities in which a disaster was shrouded before, during and after it has come true.

Therefore, this study seeks to analyze and explain the root causes of the Rwanda’s disaster and the causes that contributed to the current degree of recovery and development that Rwanda has achieved so far.

To achieve this goal, the researcher will use the Conflicted Rules Theory (CRT) that was published in April of 2018 in the Nile valley journal, Cairo university.

the study revealed that ethnic conflict was triggered by the Tutsi elite group before the colonial era, gaining more impetus and intensity along the years.

against a backdrop of the then unrest, modern religious and cultural norms failed to play a vital role in mitigating such rampant conflicts as they were biased in favor of the Tutsi group.

following Rwanda's independence, the roles changed in favor of the Hutu group which gained more power, while the Tutsi group was subjected to discrimination until this disaster unfolded.

a new pattern of social transformation was emerged, forming a real break from the past, due to the association of common sense with the wise authoritarian action through integrated relationships supported by the positive effect of a charismatic leadership.
