MwamkoMpya WaKenya Kenyans are slowly harboring and piling up negative ethnic hatred emotions and ego bred out of propaganda, actual ethnic combats, power struggles along ethnic lines, ethnic marginalization etc, and which have not and are not addressed yet, and when these emotions will burst, (be it fifty years, a hundred years or even three hundred years from now), the resultant bloodshed might even surpass that of Rwanda. Regarding the case of Hutu-Tutsi perceived enmity, here are some extracts from Wikipedia; 'Most political scientist have formed a consensus, there is no difference between Hutus or Tutsis. Both groups share the same culture, language, history and religion. The only difference is an artificially forced schism equivalent to a class divide or cast system.' 'The origins of the Tutsi and Hutu peoples is a big issue in the history of Burundi and Rwanda, as well as the Great Lakes region of Africa. While the Hutu are generally recognized as the ethnic majority of Rwanda, in racialist ideology the Tutsi were identified as a foreign race, as opposed to an indigenous minority. The relationship between the two is thus, in many ways, derived from the perceived origins and claim to "Rwandan-ness". The largest conflicts related to this question was the 1994 Rwandan Genocide and the 1972 Burundi genocide." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origins_of_Tutsi_and_Hutu
