  • Many of them had taken refuge in the local church, and others in a plot of land opposite the communal house, where there were several thousand frightened people, thinking that the authorities were going to protect them. Instead, the authorities conveniently decided to kill them on the spot. The soldiers and police, armed with rifles and grenades, and the militiamen with machetes and spiked clubs, surrounded the refugees and began firing into the crowd, throwing grenades and machetes.
  • What is certain is that he killed every day for a month... and that he never ran out of ammunition. How did he feel? "At first it was fear," he tells us, "but then the fear disappeared, there was no joy either, it became a habit to kill. It was a job ordered by the authorities and we did our duty." He took orders and obeyed, like Adolf Eichmann and the other Nazi executioners of the Final Solution.



    On the evening of April 10, when soldiers arrived in Rwanda, the police showed them the houses of the Tutsis in order to kill them.

    Jean-Claude starts shooting at those closest to him, then, as the defenceless victims fall, towards the center of the crowd. He shoots and shoots and shoots some more. He had ten cartridges for his single-shot rifle and, when he ran out, he was supplied with new ones. The militiamen finish the job with machetes and clubs. It was a veritable carnage, a butchery, a massacre. How many people did he kill? He doesn't know, or refuses to say. He fired into the crowd like the others.

 

Rwanda – Thirty Years after the Genocide, April 7, 1994​


An ACTUAL genocide that the news barely covered and absolutely no one protested.

Unlike the fake genocide that every self-righteous, virtue signaling keyboard warrior has his panties in a bunch over.

That went deep for me, because l watched news footage of the UN leaving the area, and those people to their fate. After they’d been begging and pleading for their lives.
 
The Rwanda Massacre, the Holocaust, the Rape of Nanking, the slaughter of Native Americans, the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, the enslavement of Africans, etc.

And yet some people claim that there is a God.

Right, and as far as "virtue signaling warriors" back in 1994 not many people in America nor around the world had access to the internet. It was not as global and accessible as it is today. In 1994 people were still using MS-Dos and floppy discs. Not many households nor universities had internet in 1994.

I was frequenting college campuses at that time that's how I was educated on what was going on with both Rwanda and Apartheid. A lot of students on campus were from Africa. They would update us.

"he took orders and obeyed" and now he lives with it.

like every other soldier in history. this is not restricted to "nazi executioners."

i don't think i understand the difference between "hutu" and "tutsi",, any more than i understand our division by color

I actually taught about Rwanda to some sixth graders. They had several questions about the evil state of mankind. Kids don't understand anyone being born with a sin nature. The nature of Africans to viciously murder Africans with it having nothing to with the have and have nots, is something they could not wrap their brains around.

As Christians believers we know to turn the other cheek, but the unsaved believe an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
In our world today we have Biden and the White House (Obama) all trying to accuse Israel of several deaths including the death of an Iranian leader. We know America has done those killings to stir up a war between Iran and Israel.

Likewise with Rwanda, their president's plane was shot down and the Hutus assumed the Tutsis did it. The Hutus turned their people into monsters; manics on an unstoppable murdering mission. Teaching kids; we turn to conflict resolutions to train them to be better citizens. However, this (tribal conditioning) was a brain-eating virus that perpetuated a strong desire that caused them to hunt humans in a way that made murdering nutritional.

There are people in this world who make sport of murdering especially when they murder women and children.
