Tutsi and the Hutu's of Rwanda
Posted: Sun Jun 12, 2011 9:36 pm
I was wondering about the genocide of the Tutsi's in Rwanda of the 60's and 90's and how that plays into Generational Theory? Could there be an exception to the rule?

You ask a valid question. I have not researched Rwanda in the 1950sHesiod wrote: > I was wondering about the genocide of the Tutsis in Rwanda of the

I wonder if the generational cycle time depends on life expectancy. So in countries where life expectancy is 50 years do you see shorter times between crisis than when it is 80 years? I think we talked about this before and your answer was that the average life expectancy is not that important because what matters is when all the survivors of the last crisis have died off so there is nobody to remind people. It still seems like you need enough older people alive that they are in government positions and a much shorter life expectancy will make it where the younger generation gets in charge sooner. Anyway, it seems to me that Africa with shorter life expectancy might confuse the timing of the cycles.John wrote: For the most part, I've given up trying to analyze the countries in

there's little historical information available on the internet,
except for what's provided by the colonists, and that's not enough.
And second, the region is enormous -- Africa is bigger than China,
