Genocide
Despite great technological advances, human beings still need to learn the language of unity and love.
After the World War 2 experiences, it was thought that mass murders would never occur again, as countries would cooperate and eliminate any such barbarian acts.
Sadly history has repeated itself so many times after the last big war, which makes us wonder as to whether we have made any progress at all.
The Rwandan Genocide is the prime example of international apathy despite repeated calls for intervention and peace. Hundreds of thousands of people were getting killed, and international community simply kept quiet.
Rwanda is one of the poorest countries in the world. They never needed a massacre of that scale. Lives lay in tatters and the saddest aspect of the entire tragedy was that it was not a natural disaster that struck Rwanda.
We are all now trying to help the Rwandan widows and children to reconstruct their lives. Build from scratch. This can be used as a model to show if people join forces, then anything is possible.
