Survivors tell of horror, faith - Immaculee Ilibagiza

[REMANSHUTI]

I'm a Tutsi person who knows something about TUTSI GENOCIDE and TUTSI TRADITIONS. Genuine tutsi laws do not play with FORGIVENESS when issues come to MURDER. Adressing MASSIVE MURDER though forgiveness becomes evil in the Tutsi laws. This lady is probably too young to know what she is saying, or she was raised by a non-tutsi family. Why not just explaining that she is a "good convert" in the catholic christianity or whatever, but definetely NOT TUTSI. It is a question of definition !!!

[Insanenessful]

@REMANSHUTI Please stop, she is a great person and she knows 110% what she is talking about.

[SandrineMasabo]

THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR SAD STORY. JUST BE CAREFUL. G'D HAD HIDDEN HIS FACE FROM HIS TUTSI CHILDREN IN 1994-RWANDA. AND IT WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME. HE HAD HIDDEN HIS FACE FROM HIS TUTSI CHILDREN OF BURUNDI IN OCTOBER 1993. THERE IS NO WAY G'D COULD SAVE YOU ALONE AND LET YOUR PARENTS DY OF A SO ATROCIOUS DEATH ! DID YOU DESERVE LIFE BETTER THAN ALL THESE HUNDREDS THOUSANDS BABIES, HUNDREDS THOUSANDS RIGHTOUS ELDERS, HUNDRED THOUSANDS LOVING MOTHERS, HUNDREDS THOUSANDS INNOCENT YOUNGSTERS?

[katherinesteele1]

She is coming to Toronto in December!

[Ryankidz86]

There's no way that she survived because of faith in god...it was just luck. Which type of loving god can let all your family killed...put you in agony for 3 months..then let you live, for what?

[shenecegeorge]

I met her in person when she came to Trinidad....She is soooooooo inspirational.....

[TheArielle1]

During this Genocide MIGHTY America SAT BACK AND DID NOTHING !!! but yet they are eager to invade Iraq and afghanistan ....only for oil and wealth but nt assist poor Rwanda ?! what a strange world??!

[Radz117]

@TheArielle1 Yep.

[futureengineer100]

@TheArielle1 America is still mighty though :p

[SuperBBhype]

@TheArielle1 no actually america were in rwanda at the time but they were not aloud to shoot for whatever reason, so they were there but they did fuck all

[SeisanStnc]

@000Winter000 You got THAT right! We have our own version of radio RTLM in the form of a certain Fake News Network ...

[traser21]

ok obv shes a human...but i cud so easily be mistaken....such humility and strength... we cud do with more like u.

[Lakena2552]

I Love Her so Much Because She is so Honest About what Really Happened in Rwanda in April of 1994 and her Story is Sad Because Her Family was Killed and She Survived Through all of that Horror :( I Wish that her Family was still Alive to see the Awsome work that she is Doing and how the Blessings of God is Touching Her Heart!!! Ms. Immaculee is Really An AMAZING WOMAN !!!!

[dawala1000]

WHERE IS THE UNITED ABOMINATIONS ?

[mufc99ok]

if the world does not turn back to god jesus will hand us over to the devil , it happened in rawanda , our lady warned rawanda 11 years before the genocide but they did not listen and look what happened

[TacoXX19]

my teacher read her story 'Left to Tell' to us =] best book ever!!

[gowhitney01]

I was given the privlege to meet her. She was so nice and her story is so inspirational.

[akaroyalljelly]

The hutus and the tutsi people look alike to me. R they related?

[dancenijas]

@akaroyalljelly YES!!! They are related. It was the Belgian colonists that caused the division among them.

[akaroyalljelly]

@dancenijas All the more reason that this is so sad. Neighbor slaying neighbor is a recurring theme around the globe. We see the same pitifull state with the palestinians and the israelis, the protestants and the catholics in europe. and the serbs and the bosnian in kosovov, etc... I hate to say it but europid lust for wealth and material possesions is the driving force behind so much of the blood shed in the world today.

[xoxlithium]

I think she should win a Nobel Peace Prize..................who else agrees? this wonam is amazing!!!!!!!

[camelnat]

I read her book,it was amzing.Her story touched my heart.

[TheBigfranco1]

she already spoke at my school

[secretlife0872]

She is coming to speak at my school and I could not be more excited! She is truly an inspiration.

[fairiebee]

She is completely brave and she has a beautiful heart.

[TheCroatiansea]

omg.I've read her book and I feel totally changed. I never knew there was a person like her. She spent 3 months in a bathroom with some other women. She prayed all the time, praying for her family, praying for these people who killed! Can you imagine that?

And later when she met a man who killed her mother and her father, she forgave him!

[johnpaul9488]

I met this woman the other night in Sydney,i went to listen to her speak.Iam your typical tough guy,but i have to say this woman made me cry listening to her.After the talk i met her and shook her hand and thanked her for the talk and the way she looked at me is something i will never forget.Her gaze is one of compassion,this is the only way to describe it.Someone must make a movie about this.This woman is a light of the world!.Thankyou Immaculee!

[mr1c3man]

0.03 "How can someone do that"

Oh really?

What about the Bosnian War? Where guys were shot by tank machine guns, and women raped right in the watch of their husbands and fathers?

What about the war in Iraq? So many innocents die (until now) from all sorts of bombs and mines.

The Chechen war, Sudanese massacre, etc?

There are alot more massacres out there that are left untold,

[SelenaMarieNews]

I read the whole book. Imaculee is very inspirational. Shes soo pretty too :D i really wanna meet her. My teacher met her

[143trinichick]

How can there be a god?

[SuperBerya]

Imana iguhore hafi.

[mufc1970ok]

god was looking down on this woman , god bless her , she is destined for heaven

[condori315]

i finished reading this book. it's definitely a really good, inspiring, book, would recommed this to everyone.

[RASyared]

I admire her for forgiving those mad men... but had i been in her position, I'd have bought enough bullets for every scumbag that murdered those that I love.

[SanatanUnity]

It's understandable. But then there would have been a million more.

[kareenanscott2]

WOW..I just finish reading her book and it I was overwhelmed and felt her pain. The only thing i want to say is Thank you Immaculee you should me to never give up on faith and to forgive those who hurt you big or small.

[tinalovesthejobros]

i just finished reading her book a few minutes ago...what a brave, inspirational woman. i look up to her now

[shaniqua790]

me too lol it was such a good and sad book that i almost cried

[atiaraxox]

I'm reading her book now. History class does not come close to teaching us about this, its so horrible..and it was only like 15 yrs ago im like in shock

and she's so young and pretty its so sad

[tinalovesthejobros]

yeah, and i don't mean to sound ignorant right now, but to be honest, i don't think i've ever known of the holocaust in Rwanda before my teachers told me to read this book.. i think this event should be in our history books... the world is still

[tinalovesthejobros]

so focused on other tragedies like the world wars and battles and so on, but not on other issues like this one...don't get me wrong, i still think we should be learnig about these previous wars and battles, but this one should be added to our books, if you know what i mean lol....but yeah its pretty sad =\

[dragonballzakanksha]

Bless her soul, she actually forgave the murderers of her family.

[xoxoxo2ski]

All respect to her, and her family.

[maxxymax]

Living proof of the power of PRAYER!

[lawnville]

you are so right

[gareno7]

@maxxymax amen to that

[trevorvolkswagon]

@maxxymax Amen.

[impasse0124]

She is easily the most inspiring person I've ever seen. May God continue to watch over her :)
