In many countries and many periods a person’s ethnic identity has had profound consequences for his or her physical safety status, and economic prospects. Violent confrontation along ethnic lines is the most apparent form of ethnic conflict, and it recently has claimed lives in such diverse places throughout the world. The three most terrible ethnic conflicts have been the conflict in Rwanda, the Arab-Israeli crisis, and The Holocaust during World War II.
One important ethnic conflict was the Hutu and the Tutsi conflict in Rwanda. There are two major ethnic groups in this Africa country: The Hutu and the Tutsi. When the country was colonized by the Belgians in 1916 they claimed that the Tutsi were superior to the Hutu based on the idea that their skins were lighter and their features more European. As a result, The Hutus suffered years of repression by the Tutsi. In 1994, the Hutus took revenge. Tutsi people were slaughtered, hunted out of their homes, killed with guns or machetes and left to die on the road by unofficial militia group called the Interahamwe (“thouse who attack together”) and Hutu civilians were forced to murder their neighbors and children were not spared in an insane effort to wipe out the next Tutsi generation. Over 800,000 Rwandans were killed in the space of 100 days.
Also, in the Middle East there is the territorial conflict between Arabs and Jews that has lasted for more than a century, both sides have different attitudes on mutual recognition of borders, security, Israeli settlements, freedom of Palestinian movement and the law relating to refugees,
(Wikipedia,Israeli–Palestinian conflict) , very violent clashes which real reason according to the video presented at Yotube, (the true story of the Palestinian Arab Jewish conflict), is: "the destruction of the Jewish people”, this conflict is another example of hatred, insecurity, and wickedness of men.
But the greater massacre caused against humanity was the Holocaust in the second world war, where Adolf Hitler the leader of the Nazis sought to give "final solution of the Jewish problem" (Endlösung der Judenfrage); some statistics estimate that 5.6 6.1 million Jews were killed, apart from other groups such as civil Slavs, prisoners of war, political dissidents, Roma, disabled, homosexuals, and Jehovah's witnesses, this conflict has left a shameful scar in the modern world of human superiority irrational behavior.
Ethnic conflicts such as in Rwanda, The Arab-Israeli crisis, and The Holocaust during World War II triggered the worst feelings a human being can have. Any country or society can go through such terrors. Different religion, race, and beliefs are not good reasons to kill each other. It depends on new generations not to repeat the terrible crimes against humanity committed in different times and places.
