Points of view
Tutsi-Hutu divide is by class and occupation. The Tutsi are the upper class and are mostly herdsmen. The Hutu are the lower class and for the most part live by farming.

This source show that Tutsi and Hutus are divided into different class, the Tutis is richer as herdsmen and the Hutus are poorer as farmer.This shows an equal ditributions of jobs and a big gap between the rich and the poor. It is not something unexpected that the Hutus are unhappy living in provety while the Tutsi lead a luxury lives even though they live in the same country.
"No attempt to come to grips with the contemporary dimensions of ethnicity can overlook the potential for conflict inherent in the specific form of historically grounded relations between individuals."

We must not take enthic r=tension lightly. A little mistake may results into tragety like what happened in Rwanda.This sources tries to tell us that everyone has overlooked the matter and nobody has come to help and tried to slove the tension between Hutus and Tutis, ths result in the civil conflict to happen.
