In African political science, tropical fascism is a type of post-colonial state which is either considered fascist or is seen to have strong fascist tendencies. Gnassingbé Eyadéma the dictator of Togo from 1967 to 2005 has been considered an example of tropical fascism in Africa. The Hutu Power movement, a Hutu ultranationalist and supremacist movement that organized and committed the Rwandan Genocide aimed at exterminating the Tutsi people of Rwanda, has been regarded as a prominent example of tropical fascism in Africa. The Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia has been called a tropical fascist regime in spite of the regime's official commitment to communism particularly by opponents of the regime.
