(9 years ago)On April 16, 1994, thousands of citizens gathered at the summit of Muramby, southwest of Rwanda. They followed the instructions of local authorities who had warned the Tutsi people of Gicongoro City that they would not be able to protect them in their villages. At that time, President Juvenal Habyarimana [...]
At the time, President Juvenal Habyarimana was killed in a crime that was followed by the liquidation of almost all moderate members of the Rwandan political elite and the beginning of genocide against the Tutsis population by members of the Hutu ethnicity.
A resident of Gicongoro's Tattsia was shut down in his country when the ethnic cleansing campaign had spread. Just days after their arrival at Muramby, the mayors who had promised to bring humanitarian aid, in fact they helped to surround villages by the interhamwe (Hutu) militia.
On the morning of April 21, thousands of Husus attacked armed with sticks, knives, and weapons. Up to 50. Thousands of men, women, and children were destroyed in Muramby.
Twenty years after these events, the past has not yet been forgotten. But a more serious dialogue between these two ethnic groups would ease the pain of the past.
Discussing Muram's survivors, they say there is a difficult co-existence. In the hills of Gicongoro, community life has resumed after the horrors of the 1990s.
The push for primary and general secondary education, road construction and health insurance provided by the government are popular among the young and the elderly, the rich and the poor, and, yes, the Hutve and Tuts, the “Alzeera” reported, the Periscopi broadcast.
Many members of the Hutu ethnicity have appeared before courts “gaca” and have admitted to having participated in the extermination of their neighbours, relatives and colleagues.
The analogy of the Holocaust that has often been made is also incomprehensible in other ways. Contrary to 1945, 1994 was not the end of murders, as foreigners often assume.
Two million Houts were promoted by their genocide government in Zaire, in nearby Congo; As thousands of civilians died from cholera, the exterminationers used refugee camps to launch attacks on their homeland, which had come under the control of the rebels of Rwanda's Patriotal Front (RPF), of the new ruler, Kigal./Periscopi/
