How did the conflict in Rwanda represent the problems posed by nationalism in Africa ?

When Rwanda seeked independance from the Belgians, the Belgians let the Hutus, who constituted the majority of Rwanda's population, be in charge of the new government. This upset the Tutsi. In terms of nationalism, the nation-state of Rwanda was breaking up and the nationalists were aswell.

julius caesar turned the roman republic into the roman empire by coming in and taking the "dictator" role during the time of a civil war (elites vs lower classes) winning battles and reputation, then declaring him dictator for life

hope this : )
