Places much emphasis on fear and intimidation as the main drivers of the violence and asserts that regardless of the reason the perpetrators gave for their individual participation, there was a main one motivation that led to genocidal violence. That rationale was that the violence occurred as follows: “RPF killed President Habyarimana; RPF soldiers had invaded to kill the Hutus; all Tutsis were supporters or potential supporters of the RPF; ergo, the Hutus had to kill the Tutsis to avoid being attacked by them” (Straus 153). The most common reason respondents said the cause of the genocide was the death of their president, but some said it was because elites desired power. As a reader, it is difficult to understand why the perpetrators chose to kill people who posed no immediate threat when the perpetrators themselves feared insecurity. The Hutus believed that the Tutsis wanted to take back power, so the Hutu extremists had the goal of eliminating them, but it is still difficult to interpret the events of the genocide because there were so many dynamics. But regardless of anything that happened, in summary, The Genocide Order argues that three dynamics lead to killing: war, race, and power. Without a war in Rwanda, the genocide perhaps could not have taken place. But the war caused “fear, insecurity, anger, revenge, and self-defense” and pushed the country into violent acts of killing (Straus, 173-174). Race allowed all Tutsis to be labeled as enemies. And finally, the power gave hardliners the controlling ability to decide on the elimination of all Tutsi and authorize the elimination of all Tutsi
