My heart sincerely bleeds reading the Rwanda genocide experience of this lady. The Hutus and the Tutsis crisis was a sour story but a big hard to swallow lesson. Now I know why the drum of war must stop by fire!! Forgiving the very people that killed her parents and siblings is indeed a big COST!! GOD have mercy!! |

it happened in Nigeria back in late 1960s just that it was happening at a slower rate. believe me those of us who are acquainted with history know this. we have been recycling leaders ever since and the country has been on the reverse. history has it that when the country was in the hands of these so called outcasts or minority. the country was moving. believe me we still have the tragedy at heart following the oral literature from our fathers. we will watch and see how the drama unfolds. cos the sun will only rise in the east. 14 Likes |

Follow the page HUMANS OF NEW YORK on facebook or read the book WE WISH TO INFORM YOU THAT TOMMORROW WE WILL BE KILLED WITH OUR FAMILIES to understand more on the tutsi genocide. Mere hate speeches are enough to trigger widespread killings of humans. 3 Likes 1 Share |

mynairaland2018: The Tutsi's were more of immigrants from Ethiopia they were mostly herders while the Hutus were farmers And I learnt that the Germans gave the Tutsi upper hand in the country while the Hutus were deprived of many things. But the Belgian government turned the table in 1957 by giving the Hutus upper hand. 3 Likes

fk001: Yes. You can also read about the 'kingdom of rwanda' on Wikipedia. Before colonial times, the Tutsi kingdom controlled the whole area. There was like a gentlemans agreement whereby the Tutsis were in charge and the Hutus were more into farming. Then I think the Tutsi kings arrogated more powers to their tribe and really took advantage of their military power, subjugating the Hutus to a low caste state while they shared prime land among themselves. Then just before independence, the colonialists started giving Hutus democratic power and eventually handed power to them, which led to riots from the Tutsis before independence. A lot of them fled to neighboring countries and formed a militant group FPR (of which their current president was s member). I read dt the Catholic Church was instrumental in giving Hutus power cos they were majority and Christian. Anyways the Hutus seemed to always be emotionally ignited when pple say the Tutsi FPR militia (which they called cockroaches) wanted to take over their government and return them back to the humiliating days of the monarchy when they were practically slaves. When the Hutu president was killed, in the midst of negotiations with the FPR, all hell broke loose. 1 Like 1 Share |

It's funny and somewhat ridiculous how some people can't remove the wood in their eyes but trying to blowout the dust from other people's eyes. This same thing is happening right in our very eyes and we pretend as if it's normal. What is happening in the middle belt is same scenario or are you waiting for someone to tell her story before you know we are already at war? The genocide in the middle belt, the extermination of the shiite Muslim's and many more are worst than what happened in Rwanda. Talk about the shi.t in your backyard...HYPOCRITES!!! 18 Likes 1 Share |

naptu2: I watched a documentary about this genocide some months ago and it's then that I became finally convinced about the hypocrisy of the western world. Times without number General Dallaire requested for more troops from the UN as he knew this genocide was gonna happen but the UN turned a deaf ear. He lost 8 of his soldiers in the early days of the genocide. Journalists managed to capture the atrocities being committed. Once the whole thing was over, some representatives finally made it over to see things for themselves. They started sympathizing, saying if they had known, they would have done something sooner. I was like what the heck? One lady managed to escape the whole bloodshed and found her way to Washington. She pleaded with some of the members there. One pulled her aside and said, "We dont have friends, we only have interests. We can't help u". Cue the fake concern afterwards. Bill Clinton even visited. That's when I was convinced. Once they stand nothing to gain, they aren't interested. But let it be something about oil or other national interests, I'm sure troops would have been there in the first week. Almost a million people killed in 100 days. It was a systematic genocide that even surpassed the Final Solution. 12 Likes |

Hate such a small word but very strong. Humans are basically inhuman when you think about it so it comes as no surprise when things like this happen. After all we have Stalin, Hitler, Idiamin and the likes from history. Nigeria is basically sitting on a keg on gun powder. Nairaland is an example I always laugh when I see Igbo or afonja talk. It seems like a harmless internet brawl but it simmers and brews underneath till actual hate takes over. Dissatisfaction with life is what causes all this thrash. We need to love one another as human beings but we cannot. Hoping for the best 11 Likes |

AdorableJosh: God looked at man and saw that his thoughts were always turned towards evil. He regretted creating man. There s an inherent flae in the otherwise perfect creation. Eve immediately broke the rules and Cain murdered 1/4 of the eat the population in one swoop. Lots neighbours refused his virgin daughters instead wanted to defile men ( which begs the question why would a man offer his daughters out like that for sexual perversions) same daughters go him drunk and slept with him ( really? can you be that high? ). All in all man is an animal. A virus and the computers will wipe is out ...... 2 Likes |
