It's funny and somewhat ridiculous how some people can't remove the wood in their eyes but trying to clean 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 shit in your backyard...hypocrites!!!

stupidity:

Its unimaginable what the man must have seen, the killings, and all that. Its enough to make someone go mad. After watching hotel Rwanda and sometimes in April some years ago, i found it difficult to sleep for a long time. I just pray stuffs like this do not happen in Nigeria.

Kofi Annan wasn't the secretary general at the time.

The secretary general of the UN at the time was Boutros Boutros Ghalli of Egypt.

I remember that he requested for assistance but none of the Western Powers wanted to provide assistance because of what happened to the US in Somalia.

He blamed the US while the US blamed him. He had a spat with Madeline Albright who was the US ambassador to the UN.

A secretary general usually has two terms and Boutros Ghalli was serving Africa's first term, but Madeline Albright campaigned hard to ensure that he didn't get a second term.

Kofi Annan was thus elected to continue Africa's tenure.

Sad! All you 'keyboard freedom fighters' let this be a lesson to you all.......

Man's violence is worse than animals' because it is usually thought out and planned before execution.

I think you should watch Sometimes in April. I ran away from the sitting room when that movie was playing

ShaqFu:
would it surprise you if I tell you this same people, who committed this unspeakable crime might be christians or moslems?

Mintayo:
This is Sad. Most times when I read stories like this, I always ask myself how the soldiers that participated in the killings, rapings etc feel after the war. The atrocities they have committed, how do they live with that?

I never seem to get myself to finish watching the film "hotel Rwanda".... knowing art imitated life.

She is a strong woman who chose forgiveness despite the hand she was dealt , I have no words to describe Mary, but she's the quintessential definition of humanity and a testimony that good people still exist.

The fact that she is talking about it shows she's healing .

The truth is being spoken, that's the first step to reconciliation...

"Bandage don't fix bullet holes if you live like that you live with ghosts"

"God will never help an unjust nation even if they are believers,but will help a just one even if they are unbelievers"

I pray rwanda and every other war-ravaged country in the world find its footing.

May the horrors of war never visit us again as a nation.

I think if nothing is done to regulate tribalism ,the site should be petitioned for closure . Nairaland's rules don't hold water .Seun as a programmer can try to regulate what people post on Nairaland ..if words like f**k etc could be regulated Igbo ,conehead,afonja ,ipob youths,Fulani etc could be censored too .

Holluwaphlexy:



You need to watch "sometimes in April" too, I so much felt for them ,who ever is clamouring for war should watch one of the two movies to know what's up

Nigeria have refused to end it own genocides till date. And you think you can make progress NO-WAY

Things like this are necessary in the affairs of man. It starts from simple disagreements, then there's tension, followed by escalation and then confrontation (which is the climax) and finally a resolution (the denouement). World War II was really a water-shed moment in the history of man. It is the single most destructive war in history but it's also responsible for the relative world peace we've been able to enjoy today.

Perhaps, if what happened in Rwanda hadn't taken place, they wouldn't still have sense today. Humans never appreciate perspective. It's what drives their intolerance and it often takes jarring events, usually, at great cost for them to gain perspective -even then, perspective comes in hindsight.

There's this saying that those who refuse to learn from their history are bound to repeat them. Rwanda has a lot of monuments dedicated to rmembering the events of their genocide. Germany still has most concentration camps preserved. A timely reminder, setting them on the right path, of the grave costs of hateful and bigoted sentiments.

What has Nigeria done? The only civil war we've had in this country is being thrown into the junkyard of history? Why? Because we don't want to learn from it. Because we don't want to move forward. We want to act as if the Civil war was simply something that did not happen. Guess what? The events that led to the civil war still subsist today. Nigeria is bound to repeat history because it is unwilling to learn from it.

However unfortunate that'd be, if things are to get better, it is the only way to go... because we can not go on living as if everything is fine and dandy forever. It's not possible. Either the contraption that is Niger-Area disintegrates, or unifies and sheds all of its tribal and ethno-religion scale.

Shalom people.

It's so disheartening, how can people be this wicked.




My question is how did the rebel's differentiate between the tsutsi's and the other tribes?
