1) In 1994, hundreds of thousands of Tutsi and moderate Hutu people were killed in the Rwandan genocide as the groups were divided by prejudices surrounding their ethnicity and power struggles. 2) In 1991 Rwanda, there were issues of social inequality, discrimination against Tutsis, civil war, and propaganda that exacerbated divisions between Hutus and Tutsis. 3) Present-day Singapore has taken steps to avoid similar fractures through policies promoting racial equality, economic stability, affordable housing, and security measures to prevent threats like terrorism. Maintaining social cohesion and addressing potential political and social divisions will help prevent future conflicts.
