5. Rwandan Genocide.


The Rwandan genocide was the well-planned ethnic cleansing and massacre of 800,000 Tutsis and “moderate” Hutus in Rwanda. The genocide, which began on April 6, 1994, was orchestrated by Hutu tribesmen, who not only attacked the Tutsis, but also any of their own tribesmen who protected them.The genocide had been in the works since at least 1992, when the Belgian ambassador to Rwanda warned that the Hutus were preparing for an ethnic cleansing. Another Belgian, Professor Filip Reyntjens, also appeared before the Belgian senate and warned that the Hutus were operating death squads. He even mentioned one of their leaders as Rwandan Army Colonel Theoneste Bagasora, who would later command the genocide. In January 1994, the commander of UN troops in Rwanda, General Romeo Dallaire from Belgium, also sent a fax, now known as the “genocide fax,”to the UN, wanring that the Hutus had plans to wipe out the Tutsis. He requested more troops and permission to attack a Hutu arms cache. The UN turned down his requests and instead told him to inform the Rwandan government, which was filled with the same people planning the genocide. That same month, Dallaire seized an arms cache, which was placed in custody of United Nations and Rwandan troops the same Rwandan troops who were training the rebels who perpetrated the genocide.

Genocide was as a result of the power tussle btw the tutsi tribe outside rwanda n the ruling hutus.those tutsi outside rwanda just sacrificed thier brothers lives in rwanda to gain political power.

6. The Haiti Earthquake.


The 2010 Haiti earthquake caused a lot of devastation in the country. Thousands were killed and whole villages were annihilated. A lot of people are still homeless and suffering because of the destruction caused by the earthquake. Since 1998 Claude Prepetit had been warning about an impending earthquake and asking the authorities to make arrangements to ensure people’s safety. But nothing was done and his warnings were totally ignored. If the buildings had been made safer and stronger, the destruction could have been much less.

Another source, the 7.0 earthquake killed almost 200,000.

That much?

Almost as much as the Indonesia Tsunami death toll. If the cholera outbreak is considered, even more,

I possibly might not find them as dazzling as you. Afterall, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

By the way, I could be the second person you'll follow officially, I'm not aversed to that. Would you?

First of all, you don't expect the best from people at all times..
Secondly (and most importantly), he was actually asking if ghosts exist in that thread. Then he took an inclination to the "Yes" option to show us some events that made a lot of people to actually believe that ghosts exist.

@Explorer, Baba God don pick ur call.. Nice post!!

Cool

The Bela Guttman Curse

Bela Guttman, former coach of Benfica, after being denied bonuses for winning the European Cup (now Champions League), out of anger placed a curse on the club that "never in 100 years time will Benfica lift a European Cup"

This was far back in 1962 and ever since then Benfica have lost 5 Champions League finals and 3 Europa League finals

The curse's expiry date is due 2062, till then am afraid it's going to be a long gory wait for glory.

And some dudes on here will be like...

Its just mere coincidence....

Curse are real...

Just like I am warning the world now that God's judgment is coming and nobody seems to be listening.

He made it seem like they were facts.


Btw chillax, explorers is my man so we always chill, was just messing with him.

Arabiandude:

The thought of this makes me fear the curse that comes out of the mouth of a dying man.

They played better against Chelsea, and some persons felt the dead coach had been appeased or his curse won't work anymore, but they lost.

Again, they outplayed and outclassed sevilla, at the end, they also lost.

I wept and still weeping for benfica.

But sir, Curse are just mere fiction...

Besides, they don't work in football...

Na joke I dey o...

Just as we told the zombies two years back that Boooooohari was a brain dead ancient monument who belongs in a museum and had nothing to offer!

Shebi they can see for themselves now!

YOU FORGOT TO INCLUDE TH NIGRIAN CIVIL WAR
