卢旺达民族和解探究与思考

Learning National Reconciliation in Rwanda

卢旺达族群问题是非洲民族问题的一个缩影。该国胡图人和图西人本为同根同源、同文同种,殖民统治制造了族群之间裂痕,乃至在独立后国内族群冲突一度愈演愈烈。卢旺达现政府正视国内族群问题,采用社会共生共存的价值观,倡导民族团结与融合,改善社会基础设施与条件,努力建立多民族社会基础之上突出国家认同的统一国族。从未来发展看,卢旺达政府和民众需要摆脱历史包袱,着力于建设适合本国国情的族群与社会治理制度,以期在多元社会建立持久和平、巩固社会稳定与包容治理。

Ethnic issue in Rwanda is an epitome of ethnicities in Africa. Hutu and Tutsi are linguistically and culturally homogeneous. The colonial rule created divisions within society that eventually led to the explosion of internecine conflicts after the independence of the country. Facing the world, Rwandan government has championed national reconciliation and integration, and played a pivotal role in rebuilding community cohesion and harmony. The government works to improve the quality of social infrastructure and service delivery, striving for a Rwandan Nation with social diversity of the country. Sharing a vision for the future, the government and the people of Rwanda have to make a complete break with the past, fostering social institutions based on national traditions, so as to achieve lasting peace, stable and inclusive governance in this plural society.
