South Africa's ICJ case highlights global failure in Rwanda, warns against history repetition

  1. The ruler of Myanmar has done it before and is going to trying it again and the world government's turned their backs on the citizens who are in danger right now !
    Wake up world !

  2. Kagame l'assassin utilise encore une fois son soit disant genocide des tutsis pour detourner l'attention des meurtres des congolais et des hutus qu'il est entrain de commettre depuis 30 ans. …. bon quelque soit la longueur de la nuit, on y reviendra demain qd les amis du meurtrier partiront.

  3. America is probably going to say the same thing about Gaza we did not act quickly to save innocent Palestinian people when it reaches 50,000 I hope it will never reach that number now is 33,129 people dead🤨

  4. Genocide denial, particularly concerning the Genocide against the Tutsi, is a deeply troubling phenomenon, and the involvement of media outlets like Al Jazeera only exacerbates the issue. The case of Abebe Mireille is indeed alarming as she appears to align herself with genocide deniers despite being a survivor herself. This begs the question: How could someone join the political party of those responsible for the death of her father? the tactics employed by media outlets like Al Jazeera in genocide denial are insidious. These organizations often engage in selective reporting, distortion of facts, and the promotion of revisionist narratives that seek to downplay or outright deny the atrocities committed. By framing the genocide as a 'civil war' or 'ethnic conflict' rather than acknowledging it as a systematic campaign of extermination against the Tutsi, they perpetuate dangerous falsehoods and undermine efforts for justice and reconciliation.

  5. A virtue that proclaims to be virtuous is not virtuous. Virtue that know not it's a virtue, is the true virtue.

    The West has been riding high horses for a long time. I hate to say it but Sting was right – "History Will Teach Us Nothing". Egyptians, Romans, Arabs, Jews, Mongols, Hindus, Han, Russians, Japanese..all got on a high imperial horse at one point in history, only to fall off to be bruised badly. I think, we ran out of empires and it's time for an Earth Reset.

  6. Bill Clinton: "We did not act quickly enough, we didn't do this, we didn't do that…"

    The US will be saying the exact same thing about the genocide of Palestinians in the next few years. 💔
