Riz Khan - Surviving Genocide - 26 Nov 07

[bonfio713]

It does not matter what tribe, nationality or religion one is...a Human Being is a Human Being and the blood that runs through each ones veins is red. Embrace humanity and stop the violence. The UN should have intervened in the Rwanda Genocide other that back away when their help was vitally needed. Rwandans have forgiven and that is all that matters. This only shows us how good a people the Rwandans are and may God bless them for that.

This is what happens when the people give up their right to KEEP AND BEAR ARMS!!! There is No replacement than the People having there own guns and ammunition, period.

First your government regulates, then registers then outlaws then confiscates your only means of self-defense.

Then you have the opportunity of genocide. America is almost there. And it will be an ugly day, because there will be no one to save us...

The french are the most unreliable country full of weak people...

Good job; the real id act 2005 = large scale world genocide soon. Run for your life seek the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS JESUS CHRIST HE is the only way out. You must be BORN AGAIN AND WASHED IN GOD'S BLOOD if you don't want to die and go the the lake of hell fire one when you die. Check it out internation security act 2005 real id act = national id card for genocide.This is what health care reform is realy all about. Seek THE KING JESUS CHRIST. The beast is going to bath the world in blood

Immaculee, thank you for sharing such a heartwarming story. ....it truly has touched my heart, and reminded me how powerful God can be, with faith, trust, and knowing that he can move mountains...I am moved by your strength, and your willingness to share your story. You are helping millions, and your family did not die in vain.....they are guiding you with every word, and with every story. .....they are smiling in heaven with a great deal of pride. Thank you. Tana Krstich

Sometimes my faith in God wanes. Immaculée and people like her who have lived through what she has and still embrace God, they make me reconsider. How can I say "there is no god, because look at what happened in Rwanda" when she and others embrace God? General Dalliare also has increased strength of belief. --Matt

hahaha hhahahahah hahahahah hhahahah: tutsis kill everyday congolese,rwandans,burundians,­ugandians.....now they are victimes???!!!!!!!!!!!!one day the justice of allah will come

[denizezgigizem]

arent they victims? hutu killed 800.000 tutsis. what are you talking about. I THINK SO ONE DAY JUSTICE OF ALLAH WILL COME

[Leonce62]

@denizezgigizem . Extremists killed hutus in the war killed tutsis and Hutus. The rebel army killed Hutu people in the 1990-2007. Hutu people also died to save their Tutsi friends, so its an annihilation and not a genocide. look How many Hutu & tutsis have been killed in the Congo? Why do the UN not condamned the killings in the forest of Congo? Allah Aleem and Islam is deen Al Haqq, that tells the truth.

[Leonce62]

@denizezgigizem Extremist killed both hutu/ tutsis civilians, when the war started. The rebel army killed hutu in Rwanda, Congo since 1990-2007. The interahamwe did many errors and killed innocent people, som say it was an annihilation and not a genocide. U can compare it to what happened in Cambodia and not like in nazi Germany. Belgian & France came with dat racial theory and the machete, it was never a culture in Rwanda. The envagalize hatred wit their poison religion catholicism. Allah Alem.

[impasse0124]

All these hateful comments are not what Imaculee is preaching. God came through for her because she believed in Him and she believed in forgiveness and love.  I hope her story will have more influence in the future.

[aime1456]

Bill Clinton,Interahamwe's leaders, and the U.N allowed this to happen!!! .We as African need to learn to rely on God and to one onother, not the world!!

[newmanfrigan]

Some people in my country think we invaded Iraq because we care about humanity. Balderdash! The US invades to protect it's interests, end of story. Sudan, Congo, Darfur, Burma. We didn't even put a bomb on Auschwitz for gods sake. The American govt. doesn't give a shit about people.

[dmutimura]

Immaculee,is what all of us need in this world.She is beauty,grace,humility,forgiven­ess and wisdom personified. She makes me proud to be Rwandan.God Bless You.

[GlendaleAstrid]

Unfortunately, these crimes continue happening till this day! The only time UN and powerful governments will actually care, is when these criminals attack and start killing the English out of hatred! That's when the world will hear it!

Shame on to committers of Genocide!

Shame on to the allowers of these crimes!

[malikistwo]

I really want to know of there is such thing as an anti genocide force i would immediately join. THese bastards don't need punishment or execution they need me putting a bullet in their chest and me watching them bleed to death. There is no greater crime than genocide!

[feeltrade]

The roots of Rwanda's genocide lie in its colonial experience. First occupied and colonized by the Germans (1894-1916),

[feeltrade]

during World War I the country was taken over by the Belgians, who ruled until independence in 1962.

[feeltrade]

Utilizing the classic strategy of "divide and rule," the Belgians granted preferential status to the Tutsi minority

[feeltrade]

(constituting somewhere between 8 and 14 percent of the population at the time of the 1994 genocide).

[nzingamina]

Amazing enough...it looks like the same even will repeat itself since Tutsis are refusing to have democratic elections.

[ProRSA]

Did Tutsis shy away from this preferential "narrow nose status" given to them by the Belgians or did they embrace it and also help in oppressing the Hutu's and excepting that there "long noses" made them superior?

[africanchicaful]

@ProRSA No Tutsis did not shy away infact they embraced it...Most of them felt more superior than hutus, but no matter what, NOBODYYYYY has the right to take away anyones life over such an issue moreover millions of people for that matter,Infact this tribalism of the tutsis feeling superior had almost dissapeared by 1994 it was starting to be forgotten and innocent tutsis were still killed!!!!

[BeautySavesWorld]

Thanks for sending us this video...WIN096

[slavophile1]

Poor gal. Amazing women for surviving that.

[bgturk]

France is the first to accuse others of genocide, but it continues to deny its complicity in the Rwandan genocide, where it armed the Hutu and often directly participated in the killings.

[PeaceOnThisEarth]

Great piece Riz Khan! She is amazing. I will look for more from here, and I really appreciate the subjects you cover.

[sgelles]

what an amazing woman. in every city in the u.s. there is at least one radio station (usually two in larger cities) that has a morning show on which people make jokes about ethnic, religious and sexual minorities. people think it's funny.

[suprabuddha]

I can easily see the seeds of genocide being planted in my own society. Will they bear fruit??? no one knows.
