Belgium favoritism toward Tutsis led to resentment by the Hutus.
Explanation:
During Belgian colonial rule in Rwanda, the Belgians issued identity cards to Rwandans, classifying them into two ethnic groups: Tutsis and Hutus. The Belgians considered the Tutsis, who were a minority, to be superior and gave them more privileges and opportunities. This created a system of favoritism and discrimination against the majority Hutus. Over time, this divide empowered Tutsis and fostered resentment among the Hutus. When Rwanda gained independence in the 1960s, the struggle for power between these two groups escalated, eventually leading to the mass killing of Tutsis during the Rwandan genocide in 1994.
