This is an account of a man from the Democratic Republic of Congo. This has to do with my first post on this blog. This man was probably not a Hutu because he probably would’ve been killed like the people he described. Basically he was talking about the Hutus who were seeking refuge in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Tutsi government in Rwanda is seeking its revenge through on the people that imposed genocide on them. The Tutsis know that many Hutus have fled to the Democratic Republic of Congo after the Rwandan Patriotic Front took over the government and started to control Rwanda. So now Rwanda sends its army over to its much larger neighbor in an attempt to get rid of all Hutus. It is completely ridiculous that this is going on. The genocide in Rwanda was a huge conflict that was terrible but it should not be taken out on innocent people of the Congo. It is said that up to five million people have been killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo because of this genocide that the Rwandans have started. This too could’ve been avoidable if Belgium would’ve just let Rwanda function by its self. The total death count so far for Belgium’s time as an imperialist power now stands at close to six million. Anyway, this video just portrays how devastating it is in Africa right now. There are a ton of problems and it is very apparent that they need our help.
