After the Genocide - Rwanda

[diptdipt]

In all this game, the devil is losing and at the end will be accused of everything because GOD don’t want any rivals. Conclusion: live at the full in the freedom of GOD (praying in a right form, following the INSTRUCTIONS in the Bible - keeping the 10 commandments - including keeping the Saturday as the 7th day etc.) instead of in the incapacity and limited power of devil because he is just a temporary puppet. Jesus Christ is our savior and our hope!

@diptdipt Nicely put, coming from an agnostic XD

[TheYellowpage1]

wtf 300 peacekeepers ... where was the peace...the soldairs could just ignore the orders and trying to help more....

[africanchicaful]

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I LOVE THIS WOMAN POWER!!!

[GHAfrica]

Lovely culture. I love africa

[TheFordluvnfireball]

how do I cite this?

[ThePlockad]

not do disrespect anyone.. but why is the english translation of the women as bad as when i speak english? they do the same when they translate the asians on CNN

[Kingwendu561]

@ThePlockad

Plocckad if you do not have nothing better to say about these courageous women, please don't post any more comment because i am sure English is not your first language either who are you to criticize other people's accents. By the English language resolves around the world around it otherwise we will all be speaking like the Sheaksperians mate.

[HAVANA1BU]

did they have to kill the children as well. what a butch of savages

[icantafford]

Whatever happened to "Never Again?"

The fact that genocide was allowed to happen again by the international community is a crime equal to that of preforming the genocide. It is a sickening act, one that defies description.

[toxedo911]

as an african, i feel africa most help themselves, help from othher countries will always be temporary, u need an uncoropte power structure and some sense of morals, and please dnt mention religion, i mean real empathy for ure fellow man, even when the europeans had world wars they did not stoop as low as we have, and that is the real shame of our nation

[CruzanRastamon]

I don't normally comment on issues like this but i commend some of the people that's posted already.

I as an American can't understand why a country like mine just sit back and let shit like this happens. My heart aches for the children that was born & raised in times like this. It doesn't stop at Rwanda.

I'm grateful for the little i have as people around the world don't have anything. Peopple i rich countries like mine dint know what poor is. They don't know anything about civil wars...

[cressy1988]

I am a Rwandan, genocide happened when I was 5, the nation is trying to heal and go for a good direction but it's hard , I still believe one day will come where rwandans will live happily in a great nation! Hope is what we have, and It'll help us!

[UserUK201]

Save the white race.

@UserUK201 hitler didn't agree with you

[HeshimaJameni]

For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love.

[bwinterb]

@HeshimaJameni lol I know a few vegetarians in the army and they've killed peaple...

[alexarriaza]

Father God I pray that you bring healing to  the hearts of the Rwandan people.

Please God Bless Rwanda!!

[lostend1]

Let us take a moment and count all the possible genocides in the world that are going to happen tomorrow. Congo, Sudan, Somalia, Kosovo, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Eritrea, Nigeria, Myanmar and so many more. If you feel I have missed one feel free too add it just don't put Palestine, Iraq or Afghanistan because those are too complicated to be considered to be genocide.

[dingbatcharlie1]

lol

[muzzster1970]

Human beings ,in general,are very fucked up.I sometimes think that the Earth is one big experiment gone wrong.I allude to the very end of the movie Men in Black with the aliens and their game of marbles.I have Rwandan friends here in Australia-the loveliest people you could meet.I understand now,more than ever,why they emigrated to the luckiest,best country on the planet.

[UserUK201]

You are a very pessimisstic individual.

[theBornAfrican]

This is the result of African Racism aka tribalism.

we must stop the racism otherwise, we will DEFINATELY see things like this in Africa.

no doubt about that in my mind. i am African and i live here in Africa and i can see it.

[hugh789]

dont hate the hutus hate the hutus forced other to kill tutsi

[nyashie]

i hate hutus so much

[jeascoob]

What mentality did hutus have toward tutsi..

[gabobkn]

[coolcusie201]

[jimbojonsin]

thats fucked

[galinagitika]

so sad I am just crying

[scobbey]

The west and US didn't have to do anything they the French just had to leave the RPF in 1990 get control of Rwanda instead of helping and assisting the hutus. GOD see's everything and one day someone will answer to Rwanda's Genocide,Cambodia,Vietnam,Kore­a, German Nazi

[mururngi]

Mosebu mwatubabariye mukadushyiriraho some icyunamo musics like mibirizi, nyanza ya butare za munyanshoza dieudonne. And also a quick question I still my audion music. Thank you for your works. Good job man

[Rogentx]

14 years later and can still see the scars from the survivors. Most likely it'll take many, many, more years for them to recover. As for the US not doing anything about it, as sad it as was, it wasn't any interest to us; We have our own problems to do with.

However, it is quite sad so many people died and for what....

[katz1821]

I don't think that you really ever can

[Rogentx]

Most likely you are right. Would be hard to completely get over something like that, maybe many many many years from now but even then, i doubt.

[mita18]

"we have our own problems to deal with"  like what...not being able to afford those extra pair of shoes???

what kind of a response is that...are we not citizens of the world??

Children died...thousands die...but wait that's not our problem! what the hell is wrong with you??

What makes you think that the lives of American citizens are so much more valued than those in Africa.

the UN provided 300 peacekeepers for the whole country thats it!!! this could have been stopped, if people cared.

[Rogentx]

I was simply being realistic and I just said, it was sad that it had happened and I knew nothing about what was happening during that time. And I said what I did because that country didn't have any value to us. You do have to remember, this happened about 6 months after the Somaila incident. Had that not happened, then most likely Clinton would have in fact sent peace keepers to  Rhawada.

[mita2c]

I think that the fact that "the country didn't have any value us” is the biggest problem in international relations. Innocent people dying in their masses should have been reason enough to act alone. I appreciate that what happened in Somalia made it hard for America to act but even Bill Clinton admitted in a later interview that his biggest regret was not acting in Rwanda.

[Rogentx]

@mita2c There are alot of problems in international relationships but as you pointed out, unfortunely sake of humanity is not considered urgant matter over personal interest in countries. If it does make you feel any better, lot of Americans regret having Clinton as our leader for as long as he did. (I didn't vote for him). Granted he did some helpful things but his mistakes surpassed his successful bills and such.

[komplex71]

@mita18 who are you to say we dont care. we do care. I care. and if your so pissed off about how we didnt do anything, then why didnt u do anything?

[mita2c]

@komplex71 Anyone who is in their right mind would care. Given the choice I am sure the majority of the population would have chosen to help those in need. As for me I was 8 years old and if I had know what was going on, I would have gone to the streets and campaigned for my country (Britain) to have intervened. But the fact is there was little intervention from the international community who could have stopped this tragedy happening, yet there was no economic or political interest to do so.

[mita2c]

@komplex71 My argument is that it should be the job of the international community to insure the basic human rights of people not power and financial gain. Yet instead the world’s top 5 superpowers are also the world’s top 5 arms dealers, who encourage war and death of innocent people. So @komplex71 I am glad you care because I care too but the facts prove that the international community do not care

[TresorIrumva]

mercyyyy

[brokebeat]

what a shame for the US and the UK. There is a war going on in DRC right now with Rwanda and Burundi being the aggressors and teaming up with Congolese rebels to ravage NE Congo with weapons being supplied by the US and UK.

[gRakKeNbalLstein]

US should deal with there own problems, these people choose to do what they do because they are still uncivilized people, no offense, but the sooner they all stop BEING so uncivilized, they can put their shattered continent back together

[panjshir14]

that is probably like one of the most stupid things ive ever heard....you sound like a complete dooch bag who has no idea what he is talking about

[eulex10]

what a shame for France

[Janvierireland]

It seems to me that the world media at the time paid more attention to Rwanda because the amount of people killed was alot more in Rwanda than in Burundi but nothing was done to stop it.I was 11 years old in 1994,so this is what I understand of it.

[SunDevlFan4Life]

Yeah and once they finally decided to do something, they were too slow to take action.

[Janvierireland]

True,its seems that Africa and Africans lives are not a priority to the US and the rest of the developed world.

[mongwhitbread]

What wonderful women.

[tamaduni]

Right now genocide is going on in Darfur but china with its hunger for oil is perfecting what western governments have done for years.mizizi dot net

[spauthenticbreaks]

we learned about this in school today

[elsoda]

aaaall this damn women deserve the NOBEL PRIZE. damn shame that here, in the u.s.a, everyone is so plastic and pathetic and dont know how great people like these are...

[elsoda]

ok..and what are you trying to say? please explain...thanks

[rainsta]

well the men werent targeted specifically and thus one could not really categorize it as "gendercide". Many women fled and went into hiding, where as msot men did not. Yes more men were killed but it was not intentional, as they were targeting the tutsi ethnicity in general

[collingsmando]

Right. So why were the women able to flee? Because the men stayed behind to fight machine guns with sticks and rocks. The men all died so the women could survive. Unfortunately, due to our current cultural blindness their sacrifice is totally obscured. And yes, men WERE targeted for murder just as they are in most conflicts.

[TuMiradaAmor]

And women WERE targeted for ethnic cleansing, as usual... Like in Congo right now, women are victims to the most cruel and evil treatment. And most of the times they are not able to flee...

[desirejoseph26]

Blaming each other for the trouble of the Great Lakes of Africa will not get us anywhere,but if this Generation choose to pave the way for a better future, then, our Children would appreciate it.

[Janvierireland]

Women were raped on a massive scale in Rwanda DURING THE SLAUGHTER,thats an ISSUE as well-spreading aids a lot.

[desirejoseph26]

I know what it's like to lose Family as it happened to our Burundian Families.

[Janvierireland]

I heard that the conflict spread over into Burundi also.I am sorry to hear that members of your family were murdered too.

I don,t really know what else to say as what happened in Central Africa is very disturbing to see on tv and on youtube.

[desirejoseph26]

In Burundi,on the Night of 20-21October 1993,the First Hutu President was murdered by Army Low ranking officers,the same Nights,innocent Tutsi were butchered,Tutsi children burnt and butchered in Schools,one of them was a Childhood Friend of mine,a Neighbor of mine,he was found in pieces,we attended the burial.

[Janvierireland]

I heard that both the Tutsi tribe and the Hutu tribe were murdering and raping each other.Which is terible.Also from my point of view there isn,t much difference in culture and appearence between them.I read from a book that the 1994 mass slaughter started after the presidents of Rwanda and Burundi were both killed in a plane crash although there were smaller amounts of murder before that,as you have said.

[desirejoseph26]

It is true that some Tutsi also killed in revenge,but no Tutsi ever raped no Hutu.Also,Burundi lost two President,one in October 1993,and April 1994 on the same plane with Rwandan President.

[collingsmando]

Yeah well let them have it then.  Frankly, us guys could use a vacation and we're sick of the criticism.

Be sure to call us when the oil needs changing.

[madwebb]

Women should run the world, they would make it peaceful amen

[collingsmando]

Some more background

I can't post a url, but google gendercide watch.

[collingsmando]

Hmmm. So the genocide in essence was also a gendercide in that it was mostly men who were murdered.

The women are running everything because the men are all dead. And this is inspiring for feminism?

[newmanfrigan]

collingsmando...probably the most ignorant comment I've ever read on youtube.

[MoodyGroove]

I thought it was funny.

[razelma]

These ladies are so inspiring.

[chaaruzu180]

Not a great quality video (audio/video issues) but the point still hits home.

Humans can be both disgusting, and amazing.

[ateamga]

Tragic yet inspiring, painful yet hopeful. I admire the strength of these women.
