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!

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.

@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!!!!

@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.

@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.

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...

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.

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
