Conflict Management

Description of the Case Study

The Rwandan Genocide of 1994 was one of the worst occurrences following many years

of Hutu-Tutsi ethnical tensions. This ethnic conflict could be traced back to colonization and

intensified by post-independence political rivalry in the country, which led to the genocide of

800000 to 1 million Tutsis and moderate Hutus within 100 days (Fornance, 2009). This conflict

was not a simple one, but rather, it had historical, political, and social root causes, issues of

manipulation of ethnic identity, competition for political power, and the effects of colonialism.

The inability to intervene effectively again brought out the difficulties of managing and

addressing mass atrocities. The social and political impact of the Rwandan genocide is still

prominent even today.

Types of Conflict in the Case

The Rwandan Genocide exemplifies several types of conflict. It depicts the intergroup

conflict between the Hutu and the Tutsi ethnic groups in Rwanda. Therefore, this conflict

resulted from historical, social, and political factors and was compounded by colonialism. The

case also established intrastate conflict since the fighting was within the Rwandese territory and

the Rwandese people. Also, there are aspects of inter-organizational conflict, mainly between the

Rwandan government and the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) (Gul & Klausner, 2016). This

involvement or otherwise brings dimensions of inter-organizational conflict on an international

level, the conflict between countries and world bodies such as the United Nations.

It also takes an identity form; the Hutu and Tutsi ethnicities define the conflict. This

identity conflict was thus not due to ethnic differences but to socially constructed categories that

were maintained and remobilized over time (Gul & Klausner, 2016; Fornance, 2009). The case
 3

also highlights structural violence since the Rwandan structure and the institutions that prevailed

in Rwandan society had, for some reason, provided space for inequalities and power struggles

between the two groups, hence fueling the violence (Neupane, 2022). Different kinds of conflict

complicated and escalated, resulting in the devastating genocide in 1994.

Sources of Conflict in the Case

The causes of conflict in the Rwandan Genocide are complex and rooted in Rwandan

history, with ethnic tensions as the leading cause. The first key source was the colonization of

Rwanda, during which the Europeans tended to divide Rwandans into two groups: the Hutu and

the Tutsi. This random classification by physical appearance and economic prowess set them up

as a class of people who appeared inferior to others and only deserved to be oppressed (Talmaciu

& Mărăcine, 2021). The division between the Hutus and Tutsis was also fueled by the policy of

the Belgian colonizers, who only gave administrative jobs to the Tutsis, which would set the

stage for future conflict. Political power and control were another major cause of conflict. After

the colonial masters left, the power switched to the Hutu, who then had the Tutsi discriminated

against. This power struggle was continued by following regimes, especially the current

President Habyarimana, who imposed a one-party system and fueled the Hutu-Tutsi ethnic

differences (Fornance, 2009). The political atmosphere that was created led to violence and

discrimination becoming a policy in the government, which fueled the conflict more.

Economic factors also contributed significantly to the escalation of the conflict. Lack of

resources and competition for limited opportunities were significant sources of intergroup

conflict (Talmaciu & Mărăcine, 2021). The noticeable economic differences between the Hutu

and Tutsi groups made the latter feel jealous and made it easy for the leaders to mobilize the

people in the wrong direction. Also, the invasion by RPF in 1990 introduced another factor of
 4

economic pressure because it stretched the available resources and increased the Hutu people’s

concern about losing political and economic power.

Media and propaganda cannot be left out as one of the causes of conflict. The Hutu

Power movement also used media as a tool to mobilize people to hate the Tutsis and treat them

as sub-human beings; in fact, the Tutsis were referred to as ‘cockroaches’ who needed to be

exterminated. Such a systematic approach of propagandizing was instrumental in urging people

to violence and enlisting them to the genocide (Pembi et al., 2023). The media's influence in

shaping public opinion and fostering an environment of fear and hatred was a critical factor in

escalating the conflict to genocidal proportions.

Stakeholders and Conflicting Interests

The immediate stakeholders in the Rwandan Genocide were the Hutus and Tutsis. The

Hutu majority, especially the Hutu Power activists, wanted to retain political and social

domination in the country. These included ensuring that they continued to dominate the political

institutions, the economy, and the social structures. On the other hand, the Tutsi group, Rwandan

or other neighboring countries refugees demanded recognition of their right to non-

discrimination and to reclaim their initial home without danger (Obeng-Baah et al., 2023). These

were the interests of the two groups that comprised the central conflict of their relationship.

The Rwandan government under President Habyarimana had a stake as part of the power-

holding group that sought to keep control in Rwanda. This also entailed suppressing resistance

from moderate Hutus and Tutsis (Fornance, 2009). Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), mainly Tutsi

refugees, had a hostile intent to overthrow the incumbent leadership and work for the removal of

Tutsi from Rwanda. This is because their military activities, as well as the political ambitions

they had, were adverse to the interests of the Hutu-dominated government.

 5

There were various parts that international stakeholders had with different stakes.

Burundi and Zaire (now DRC), for example, had their interests in the conflict given their internal

Hutu-Tutsi politics and refugee problems. France, Rwanda’s close ally, had its stakes in the

Habyarimana regime as it sought to continue its dominance of Francophone Africa (Obeng-Baah

et al., 2023). Other international actors, such as the UN and individual countries, also had stakes

in keeping order in the region and avoiding another humanitarian disaster. However, their

actions, or lack thereof, were not without their reasons.

Civil society and humanitarian organizations such as non-governmental organizations

(NGOs) were also stakeholders in providing humanitarian assistance, protecting civilians, and

advocating for human rights. Nevertheless, they rarely succeeded, mainly due to the increasing

tension that marked this period and the nature of the conflict on the ground (Francois, 2017). At

the same time, the activities of these organizations were often in opposition to the warring

factions who considered them as interfering in the internal affairs of the country. The media,

both national and international, was another stakeholder that was capable of framing and

informing people on various issues. Whereas some media outlets turned into propaganda devices

and encouragers of violence, others aimed at covering the emerging catastrophe and letting the

world know about the genocide (Francois, 2017). The desire to deliver the truth was always

damaging to the goals of the violent actors who wanted to shape the narrative and justify their

actions.

Alternative Conflict Management Strategies

Two other conflict management approaches that could have been used in handling the

Rwandan Genocide are preventive diplomacy and peacekeeping with muscle to back their

operations. Preventive diplomacy is the diplomatic action taken towards avoiding an eventuality
 6

of a conflict and keeping it from spreading in case of a conflict. In the case of Rwanda, this could

have included, for example, the international community intervening earlier to try to cool the

rising tensions between the Hutus and the Tutsis (Chris et al., 2021). What diplomacy could have

been devoted to was the Rwandan government and the RPF, pushing for political changes that

would allow for a more representative government that would respond to the needs of the

oppressed Tutsi population.

Preventive diplomacy might have entailed the UN, regional African organizations, and

powerful states' continuous communication with all the involved parties. This might have

involved offering incentives to encourage non-violence, punitive measures against those calling

for violence, and encouraging local non-violent processes. If undertaken to eliminate the causes

of the conflict and encourage cooperation instead of violence, preventive diplomacy might have

possibly prevented the case from developing into genocide (Chris et al., 2021). However, to have

used this strategy would have called for an early assessment of the early signals and a firm

response from the international community.

The second is peacekeeping, which has a more proactive mandate than traditional

peacekeeping operations. Although there was a United Nations peacekeeping force in Rwanda

known as UNAMIR, it lacked the necessary funding, and its work was significantly constrained

by the very narrow terms of reference it was given. Instead, they should have used a much larger

and equipped UN peacekeeping force with clear directives for protecting civilians and stopping

the violence (Chris et al., 2021). This force would require the right to apply force as much as it is

exerted to protect the vulnerable populace and to disband militias. The peacekeepers could have

protected the civilians, implemented and supervised the agreements during the ceasefire

processes, and ensured the refugees’ safe returns.

 7

It could also have assisted in providing a solid peacekeeping mission that would have

also helped in providing a platform for negotiations between the warring factions, providing

security to strategic facilities, and facilitating the implementation of the peace agreements. This

would have demanded much-needed support from member states of the UN regarding troops,

resources, and political determination (Chris et al., 2021). Had there been a professional and

well-equipped peacekeeping operation with a clear mandate for the protection of civilians, the

level of violence could have been considerably reduced, and the genocide could have been

eliminated.

Best Alternative and Detailed Plan

The approach that could have been used to solve the conflict in Rwanda was preventive

diplomacy together with efficient deployment of the peacekeeping force; therefore, the solution

requires a strong commitment from the international community to solve the root cause of the

conflict. This strategy would endeavor to dial down the level of violence even as it would efforts

to establish sustainable peace and order, and this would require the involvement of the

stakeholders.

Phase 1: Immediate De-escalation (1-3 months)

 Establish safe zones throughout the country, particularly in high tensions.

 Ensure that a robust UN peacekeeping mission is dispatched with a clear mission of

safeguarding the civilians and ensuring that there is no more bloodshed.

 Implement a temporary arms embargo to limit the flow of weapons into the country.

 Facilitate emergency negotiations between the Rwandan government, opposition groups,

and the RPF, carried out by neutral international organizations.

Phase 2: Stabilization and Dialogue (3-6 months)

 8

 Expand peacekeeping operations to cover the entire country, ensuring protection for all

civilians.

 Initiate a national dialogue process, including representatives from all major groups and

civil society.

 Begin disarmament programs for militia groups and integrate willing members into

regular security forces.

 Implement a media monitoring system to prevent the spread of hate speech and promote

responsible journalism.

Phase 3: Addressing Root Causes (6-18 months)

 Establish a truth and reconciliation commission to address historical grievances and

promote healing.

 Develop and implement inclusive policies to ensure equal representation and

opportunities for all groups in government and society.

 Reform the education system to promote unity and challenge historical narratives that

fuel division.

 Initiate economic development programs to reduce poverty and inequality, focusing on

rural areas.

Phase 4: Long-term Reconciliation and Development (18 months - 5 years)

 Gradually transition security responsibilities from international peacekeepers to reformed

national security forces.

 Implement a comprehensive justice system reform to ensure fair treatment for all citizens.

 Develop regional cooperation initiatives to address refugee issues and promote economic

integration.
 9

 Establish ongoing monitoring and support mechanisms to prevent the resurgence of

conflict.

In all the stages, there would be a keen emphasis on the locally driven approach in the

hope that Rwandans themselves will drive the peace process. Foreign support is significant,

including funding, skilled aid, and diplomatic endorsement. Since change is inevitable, it is clear

that there is a need to do assessments and revise the plan occasionally. This concept provides an

effective way of putting an end to violence and, at the same time, addressing some of the causes

that led to the violence. This plan seeks to establish sustainable peace in Rwanda by integrating

security measures alongside words and actions of reconciliation and sustainable development

goals and projects. This strategy would work provided that the international community

continued to support it, all parties to the peace process stayed committed to it, and the process

was allowed to run slowly, gradually changing Rwandan society.

Conclusion

The Rwandan Genocide is considered one of the worst cases of conflict negligence and

non-solved in modern history. The history, social, and political relations combined to lay down a

situation that finally had the potential for violent catastrophe. Therefore, it is possible to learn

from this experience by analyzing the types and sources of conflict, defining the main

stakeholders, and considering the potential options for conflict management to avoid similar

conflicts in the future. The case points to the need to introduce early intervention mechanisms,

enhanced international response, and more focus on the causes of conflict. It underscores the

importance of peacekeeping operations that are well-coordinated and well-defined with a proper

endowment. Besides, it stresses state and human rights building, good governance, economic

recovery, and reconciliation processes in societies emerging from conflict. The contemporary
 10

world is still witnessing numerous conflicts, and, unfortunately, the international community

cannot remain passive in this regard, developing and implementing comprehensive strategies for

conflict prevention and resolution.

(pp. 34-53). IGI Global. [Link]

This source gives an account of different types of organizational conflict. The authors

identify five main categories: The elements of conflict can be categorized as intrapersonal,

interpersonal, intragroup, intergroup, and inter-organizational. Organizational conflict is a

conflict that takes place within the organization, for instance, conflicts arising from role conflicts

and ethical dilemmas. Interpersonal conflict is a clash between two persons mainly due to

personality or because the two persons are competing for a particular resource. Intragroup

conflict can be defined as the conflict that takes place within a group in an organization. On the

other hand, intergroup conflict is the conflict that happens between two or more groups in an

organization. Inter-organizational conflict is a conflict that happens between two or more

organizations, which can be a result of rivalry or dependence. The authors stress that identifying

these conflict types is vital for managing and solving organizational conflicts. They also discuss

how conflicts might positively and negatively affect organizational output and employee

relationships.

 11

Neupane provides an in-depth analysis of five organizational conflict types. Thus, there

are intrapersonal, interpersonal, intragroup, intergroup, and interorganizational conflicts. Self-

conflict is a conflict within a person commonly caused by a mismatch of personal and

organizational objectives. Interpersonal conflict is a discrepancy between two individuals

resulting from personality differences or the struggle for resources. Interparty conflict refers to

animosity between two or more parties or groups within an organization, for instance, the

conflict over work assignments or working methods. An example of intergroup conflict is

competition between different groups, such as departments in an organization or between

organizations because of competition for resources or disparity in their goals. Inter-

organizational conflict is a conflict that happens between organizations and may be a result of

rivalry or dependency between the organizations. The article highlights the need to appreciate

these conflict types to manage and resolve conflicts in organizations satisfactorily.

Hussein, A. F. F., & Al-Mamary, Y. H. S. (2019). Conflicts: Their types and their negative

and positive effects on organizations. International Journal of Scientific &

Technology Research, 8(8), 10-13.

This paper categorizes conflicts into six types: intrapersonal, interpersonal, intragroup,

intergroup, intra-organizational, and inter-organizational. The authors overview each type and

then expound on how conflicts appear at various organizational levels and their effects.

Intrapersonal conflicts are those conflicts that occur within a person, while interpersonal

conflicts are those that happen between two or more people because of differing goals or

perceptions. Intragroup conflict happens within a group, while intergroup conflict happens

between different groups in organizations; in both cases, reduced productivity results if conflict

is not well handled. The paper also shows that internal conflicts can be organizational conflicts
 12

since conflicts within an organization emanate from conflicts between organizational units. At

the same time, conflicts between organizations can also be referred to as organizational conflicts

since they exist between them. The authors stress that although the term implies negativity,

conflicts should be seen to bring about positive effects, including stimulating creativity and

enhancing decisions.

In this article, the author thoroughly analyzes conflict types based on the organizational

levels and the multifaceted effects accompanying them. The four common conflicts described are

intrapersonal, interpersonal, intragroup, and intergroup. Intrapersonal conflicts occur when

people experience a conflict of interest between their formal roles and their capacity within an

organization, which causes them stress and internal tension. Interpersonal conflicts are those

conflicts that take place between two or more people as a result of varying aims, beliefs, or

needs, often leading to misunderstandings. Inter-group conflicts arise when the people in the

different groups have different behaviors or emotions, which can impact the cohesiveness and

productivity of the group. Such conflicts occur within groups in a given organization and are

mainly a result of rivalry, differences in objectives, or authority struggles. The author also

describes conflict management and the nature of conflict as constructive or destructive based on

the outcome.

Sources of Conflict

Isa, A. A. (2015). Conflicts in organizations: Causes and consequences. Journal of

Educational Policy and Entrepreneurial Research, 2(11), 54-59.

Isa identifies several root causes of conflict in organizations, which include

communication breakdown, personality differences, value differences, expectations clash, power

struggles, self-interest, and lack of resource sharing. When there is no communication, conflicts

arise due to competition, and gaps are filled with negative expectations towards other people.

Due to personality differences, which are influenced by people's experiences, employees may

have conflicting interests. They may act in a way that the other party perceives as self-serving.

Conflicting values add to these tensions mainly because the employees have strong beliefs

contradicting each other in specific circumstances. Lack of clear communication of expectations

from management or other people in general can result in misunderstanding and stress, which

may develop into quarrels. Competition and hostility are inevitable when resources, material or

non-material, are scarce, and interests clash in organizations and institutions. The sources of

conflict are discussed in this paper to understand how they can be managed so that they do not

affect productivity and lead to high employee turnover rates.

of conflict resolution. Constantin Brâncoveanu University of Piteşti, 124-139

This paper discusses the various possible causes of organizational conflict: Structural,

Interpersonal, and Intergroup conflict. Some significant causes are lack of communication,

cultural conflict of values, and resource conflicts. The authors also state that the absence of

communication or proper communication is a significant cause of conflict because it results in

confusion or misunderstanding of attitudes. Structural conflicts are usually occasioned by

 14

organizational uncertainties, such as ambiguous responsibilities or ill-defined tasks that are likely

to cause tensions between different departments or groups. In addition, competition for limited

resources such as financial, physical, or human resources escalates rivalry, where departments or

communities are interdependent on any of these resources. The paper also stresses the need to

identify these sources of conflicts early to apply suitable approaches to conflict management to

uphold organizational stability. Other sources of conflict include misaligned incentives, power

imbalances, and conflicting organizational priorities.

The authors analyze the various sources of conflict in organizations, considering that

conflict is inherent in organizations because of differences in interests, needs, and aspirations.

This work reveals that management style, wages, working conditions, and non-recognition of

trade unions are significant sources of organizational conflict. Conflicts can be attributed to

issues related to power struggles and competition for resources. The authors emphasize that it is

crucial to identify and manage those conflicts in order to minimize adverse effects on business

performance and workers’ motivation. The paper presents information about the sources of

conflicts and offers methods of managing the conflicts. Additional sources of conflict

highlighted include miscommunication, lack of clear job roles, personality clashes in people,

conflicting departmental goals, and unequal distribution of organizational rewards or incentives,

all of which can exacerbate tensions and lead to prolonged disputes within the organization if not

adequately addressed.

of conflict resolution. Management & Marketing, 8(1), 123-132.

Talmaciu and Mărăcine (2020) explore antecedents of conflict in organizations and type

them into intrapersonal and interpersonal conflicts. The paper recognizes lack of communication,

conflict of values, and rivalry for scarce needs as significant causes. Lack of communication

skills may result in communication breakdowns when handling conflict situations, and conflict

may arise when there is a divergence in the employees’ values. Battles for shares usually

increase rivalry, especially when several people or teams struggle for the same things. The

authors also consider structural factors, such as role and status relationships, which are either

unclear or blurred, as a source of conflict. In order to address these conflicts, the paper provides

measures for handling the conflicts through negotiations, mediation, and structured

communication. Suppose these sources are managed, and efficient conflict-handling methods are

adopted within an organization. In that case, the organizational climate will improve,

productivity will increase, and it will be easier for people to relate better with each other in the

workplace.

Methods of Conflict Resolution

Väyrynen, R. (2023). To settle or transform: perspectives on resolving national and

international conflicts. In Raimo Väyrynen: A Pioneer in International Relations,

Scholarship and Policy-Making: With a Foreword by Olli Rehn and a Preface by

Allan Rosas (pp. 279-299). Cham: Springer International Publishing.

The sources present two primary methods of conflict resolution: settlement of conflicts

and conflict transformation. The first is to do with an attempt to seek to resolve the dispute by

addressing the concerns that led to the formation of the dispute. The aim is to devise a decision
 16

or settlement acceptable to the two parties, primarily through bargaining, compromise, or a third

party. The idea is that the fighting or antagonism is ended with the settlement. However, the

fundamental causes of the conflict have not been solved. Galtung sees this as a short-term

solution, where most conflicts may not be solved, which may cause more conflicts in the future.

The second approach that Galtung promotes for this method is more inclusive. Conflict

transformation aims to transform the root causes of problems, either social, political, or

economic. This is unlike the traditional conflict-solving strategies that focus on solving the

conflict without trying to understand prejudice, unfairness, or cultural differences that contribute

to its cause. This method seeks to understand the relationships, attitudes, and conditions that

define the conflict to bring about lasting peace. Galtung also notes that conflict transformation is

a process of dialogues, structural changes, and constructing positive peace that means the end of

structural violence and the presence of social justice.

method of conflict resolution: A practical approach. Family Medicine & Primary

Care Review, 22(3), 235–239. [Link]

This piece examines the role of mediation as one of the significant techniques for

resolving conflicts, with particular reference to the case of Poland. The authors also present

mediation as an ADR process that assists individuals or organizations in solving an identified

conflict without force. This is easily made possible through the assistance of a third party, the

mediator, who does not determine the outcome but helps the parties in dispute come up with the

solution. Mediation is particularly preferred because of its relatively low cost and given that it is

always confidential and does not destroy relationships between the parties. The analysis also

underscores the importance of mediation in organizational conflicts, especially when one is

 17

likely to incur a cost, notably in malpractice lawsuits. Additionally, the authors highlight the

effectiveness of mediation in preserving long-term relationships and fostering a collaborative

environment, which is essential for organizational harmony.

Nnaemeka, F. O. (2019). Mediation and methods of conflict resolution. In Introduction to

Peace and Conflict: A Comprehensive and Multi-perspective Exploration, 23-39.

Nnaemeka (2019) further details various conflict management techniques and has divided

them into preventive and interventionist techniques. Preventive strategies, which include good

governance, trust enhancement, and communication strategies, ensure that conflicts do not occur

in the first place. Meanwhile, reactive methods are used to handle conflicts that have already

occurred in an organization. Mediation is underlined as a critical approach in which an

independent person with no interest in the dispute intervenes and tries to help the parties express

their grievances and reach a common understanding. In addition to the above passive

approaches, the paper also covers other reactive approaches such as negotiation, conciliation,

arbitration, and litigation, which, although they share some similarities in their processes, have

unique advantages. Nnaemeka further emphasizes that the effectiveness of these methods is in

dealing with the root causes of the conflict so that the outcomes of the conflict resolution are

satisfactory to all the parties, thus avoiding the possibility of the continuation of conflicts and the

promotion of lasting peace.

Society. African Research Review, 8(2), 138-157.

[Link]

Ajayi and Buhari (2014) provide a detailed account of how conflict resolution was

managed in African societies with particular reference to Yoruba and Igbo of Nigeria and Pondo
 18

of South Africa. The authors also describe different conflict-solving methods, such as mediation,

adjudication, reconciliation, and negotiation. Mediation, underlined as a critical approach,

involves the use of elders or other respected individuals who are not part of the conflict to help

the disputants negotiate a solution. Adjudication is a more structured process where disputes are

resolved by the council of elders or traditional leaders in the presence of community members.

Reparation, usually done after a hearing, is the process of repairing relationships severed by

performing certain rites and ceremonies that remind the society of the unity that needs to be

observed. The authors opine that these time-tested methodologies are much more appropriate for

sustaining harmonious relationships and preventing relapses of conflict than the Western style of

the litigation approach, which is principally corrective and not reconciliatory.
