Rwanda--"It's a story of betrayal, failure, naivete, indifference, hatred, genocide, war, inhumanity and evil. Although strong relationships were built and moral, ethical and courageous behavior was often displayed, they were overshadowed by one of the fastest, most efficient, most evident genocides in recent history. In just one hundred days over 800,000 innocent Rwanda men, women, and children were brutally murdered while the developed world, impassive and apparently unperturbed, sat back and watched the unfolding apocalypse or simply changed channels. Almost fifty years to the day my that father and father-in-law helped to liberate Europe--when the extermination camps were uncovered and when, one voice, humanity said, 'Never again'--we once again sat back and permitted this unspeakable horror to occur. We could not find the political will nor the resources to stop it. Since then, much has been written, discussed, debated, argued and filmed on the subject of Rwanda, yet it is my feeling that this recent catastrophe is being forgotten and its lessons submerged in ignorance and apathy. The genocide in Rwanda was a failure of humanity that could easily happen again."
_Shake Hands With The Devil: The Failure of Humanity In Rwanda_
by Lt.Gen. Romeo Dallaire
The remains of up to 200 corpses are in each coffin.
I'd like to share information about the Rwandan genocide. If you know of a link
that offers reliable, in-depth and educational information about the genocide and its aftermath, please include it in your comment below.
