It's very hard to comprehend how humans can turn so violently against eachother and become so sadistic..
Is it? It's happened in literally every country on earth
It is wrong regardless how many nations have been killing eachother.Lucky us that ancient people didn't have nuclear weapons.
It's like London everyday!
@@notme1345 lol no
Mycotoxins were spread amongst the people
I worked with a woman who was lucky enough to escape the genocide but she lost most of her family in the violence, she wouldn't talk about what she went through or what she witnessed but you could tell by the sadness in her eyes that she had seen some horrendous things..
You should come to Rwanda during April to August..... You see real pain and PTSd
Same is happening in India today
Hutus are stateless people. They destroyed their own lives.
I’m sure I’ve seen this same comment on another video about this you just copy and paste or something?
And Africans hate black americans lol
Before you feel to sorry for these men, remember the million who will never have the chance to be in a crowded prison, never have the chance to eat charity food, never have the chance to breath the fetid air that these men do. Remember those who have no chance of doing anything now that they have been killed. Remember them.
Those men are lucky as they don’t have to suffer. The body is temporary, the soul is eternal.
I dont feel sorry for them
In the end both the dead and the living suffered. No one won but both suffered. Now the question is who truly benefited from this genocide?
So the living should suffer without complaining because people die?
I feel sorry for North Korean prisoners, they have it worse.
"it was an amazing thing that happened hear” what's amaizing when thousands of people died.Great choice of words man.
it even baffles me that they didn't re-shoot that bit. It is disgraceful
How did he even say that ....seriously
Thinking the same thing.
@@rsimko I agree, he sounds incredibly unsympathetic
Had to pause and come to the comments because that comment baffled me. How insensitive and disgraceful for him to be part of the organisations that had the heads-up of this happening and did nothing and yet he still sits here and calls a genocide amazing.
When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said 'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.

@@thamsanqasibanda8443 then cmiiw..
Its the oldest trick in the book.
And he's still a holding that bible. What a fool.😩
Because our forefathers were fools and we are still fools till this day.
they were better off under King Leopold
It is a disgrace that no one has been charged for this genocide.
Some have been by now

Please do you know what you are saying. Why would he charged for the genocide.
I did a report on this when I was in highschool. Truly a horrific genocide, the prison may be inhuman but so are in guilty ones kept there. The only ones you need to feel sorry for is the innocent ones thrown into that hell
It ia not posible that all of them in prison are guilty.
You have not discovered the truth of who is responsible for the death of all those Rwandans if you believe that only those in the prisons did the killing...
@@mashumichelle I never said that....
@@Crekification just saying
@@mashumichelle I know but your comment insinuates that I was implying that
Proud of you Rwanda 🇷🇼. You learnt from your own mistakes, picked yourself up and now you're a bright shining light. The genocide happened around the time I was born. Everyone turned against Rwanda, but now it is a country that we all look up to. Safe, clean, hospitable, developing...Kenya almost did the same mistakes in 2007. My family was among those affected but we have forgiven and we are moving on despite the bitter memories. A lot of hugs and love from Kenya 🇰🇪.
I am now a 22 years old Rwandan and this is my first time to see a saddest video like this about genocide against Tustis. Thanks for the team that worked together to make other generations know what really happened.
What tribe are you claim?
Are you hutu or tutsi
@@pastelpinksparrow9436 Most people know the ethnicities they belong to but we prefer not to talk about it because It doesn’t really matter and it could spark discrimination once again. After the genocide the new government decided that everyone from then onwards should only identify themselves as just Rwandans, not Tutsi or Hutu. And that’s how it’s been since then.
@@intaganzwa9033 Thanks for answering man!
@@intaganzwa9033 Oh thank you!! I see makes sense.
soebody should have showed him a few photos of what happened in rawanda before his prison visit, then maybe his pity would be a little more properly placed. these prisoners are not the victims.
That is what happens when you have an expertly desseminated capaign of hate. The genocidaires had Radio RTM drilling genocidal programs through the airwaves every single day. This in a country and region with a history of pogroms.There were even musicians who sang genocidal songs, people like Simon Bikindi. What you are seeing is a person who was totally desensitized to hatred before he comitted his first murder.
Some of the masterminds of this unbelievable human tragedy are still free in their countries of exile though
There's innocents in there thats the frightening part. I do feel bad for them prison should be more humane or at least give them for heinous crimes a quick legal death.
@@kwarrior2895 stop right there.. not one person in that prison, or in this vid claims to be innocent. Stop lying to yourself and trying to make yourself feel better. They hacked neighbors up, many died slowly and painfully, and these assailants deserve the same they dished out. They are getting off light, this is hardly an extreme punishment considering their actions. Try to remember who the VICTIMS in this tragedy instead of crying for monsters and gullible sock puppets turned murders at the slightest cue. Where are you from that you don't understand which group was the victim? Has anyone checked you for a machete lately? Or is it merely that you don't know the difference between empathy and apologetics?
@@rowdyjohnson6026 Look I have Rwandese ancestry I just want peace and stability for the people we are all the same culture speak the same language and share the same genes. There had to be innocents in there too which is important for a fair trail. If the criminals do the time with rotting legs etc when released how would they integrate??? At least in Europe criminals who commited mass murderers are given fair trails and appropriate conditions at incarceration but if the death penalty is an option I would support it as long as it is a quick death. The death penalty is not for torture it is to remove the dangerous individual from ever harming the rest of general society ever again. I am not monster like they are we need to be the better people.
The idea of killing babies strapped on their mother's backs is absolutely sickening. Those in jail deserve every single bit of it. Yes they might deserve some food and clean water but those babies didn't deserved to be killed. Animals !
I hear ya, but part of the problem, and one of the purposes of this documentary, is that there is no guarantee that all of those people were involved or did anything at all because the only evidence of their guilt is hearsay.
@@getreadyfreddie What you say is true of every prison everywhere on earth. In each one of them, without exception, you will always find inmates who say they’re innocent and the evidence against them is hearsay or false. Your reasoning implies that every prison in the world should be emptied out immediately and nobody should ever be arrested. The genocide wasn’t committed in secret but in the open in broad daylight. Survivors saw who wounded them and attacked their relatives. They have no interest in covering up for the guilty in order to accuse someone else instead. That would be absurd.
That poor mother who lost her two young babies! Lord please give her peace I pray to you in Jesus name! My heart goes out to that woman I do not know how she goes on every day with all of that pain in her heart and sorrow?
Your lord allowed this to happen, even planned it.
Why not in his fathers name ,just curious
@@kw2519 The Lord gave us free will Therefore Those sick people that hurt her babies are the reason why it happened. Not my Lord!
@@kw2519 Man, you ought to repent
Jesus is not God my fellow people think twice even me I'm doing more reserch
When I learned how some kids were stolen nd raised by their parents killers...man I just had to take a second to just think of how horrible a person would have to be to do that
I saw a survivor’s story. She was 12 at the time, she had 2 brothers that died as well as her mother. She had a 2 year old little brother, and they had hidden all of the very young children that couldn’t run underground. The killers found where the children were hidden when one of the parents was sneaking them food. The killers burned all of those small children alive. I can’t wrap my mind around how these people could do this, kill children and their own wives. The things this survivor saw alone, and the countless other stories there must be. :(
Damn I can't even imagine
i have no pity when i saw those prisonners most of them committed atrocity that were beyond the acceptable
Very true
Some yes but not all. Some deserve pity some deserve none.
@@James-vy5jg facts, there are innoncents who are jailed there without trial there, thats the worst part.
Until they are judged with a fact we can pity them. Who are you to know that most of them commited that?
@@Flower-ck2bs Because most of them did, they wiped out a million people in a 100 days. One of the reasons was not exactly there fault and was because of the immense propaganda that was on the radio feeding them that shit. But none the less they haked peopled to death with machetes.
When you talk about the Rwanda genocide as much as you mention Rwandans, you must talk about Belgium for orchestrating this event and international community for letting this happen in silence while they could help. RWANDA IS THE VICTIM!
The U.N could've something too,so sad 😔, colonialism was a hard time to live in
@@ronanregan1478 hiii bro we really have the same name i am from Rwanda so happy to see that u are interested in our past History,,so sad but our History
@@reaganrwaka6573 didn't notice he had the same name lmao
Scapegoating and redirecting isn't gonna resolve any of this. In fact, it's what caused it.
some people blaming others country while they just set and watching their people being killed. its not a reason to blame others country for the sins of your people.
Where was the UN when it started, I clearly remembered my godfather telling me that the UN took out all their soldiers except for one white commander, a Ghanaian and Nigerian régimen who refused to leave but stayed behind to help. All the un knows is to sanction, when they could have helped from the beginning. What a disgrace
That's what they do best. Create war take off and then come back to act like they r funding the aid . Money it is all about. Pretending to care about humanity
So true.
Yup they would not get involved they wanted it to happen.
They are an embarrassment, they did nothing, they even knew it was was going to happen in advance. It’s not just Rwanda though they did nothing in Bosnia after the breakup of Yugoslavia, Somalia, the list goes on. A deplorable organisation that only exists to serve the western political structure.
The UN is basically a mechanism to keep third world countries from digging up the global West's past and bring them to trial. They serve no purpose other than to inform these powers of the current affairs of former colonies.
How can someone call the genocide of innocence people an "amazing thing that has to be documented". I sometimes question our humanity
Proper white people behavior, seems to always be that white colonial mentality which is loaned out to others and ethnics. Who try so hard to assimilate and be like them.
I thought the same thing. But I think the context he meant was more like a shock and most certainly does need to be documented. Atleast I hope that's what he meant. Not only so that it doesn't happen again but to shame those who part took in the genocide.
You know very well what he meant to say. Be kind and understanding. We are too quick to condemn
Amazing doesn't have to necessarily mean "good". Yes, it has to be documented, lest we forget. Ironic to say, so it doesn't happen again, but that's the goal.
It felt strange to me too
It's always that way, the politicians that start the atrocities are the first to run away and are never punished
And see that annoying guy lying with a smile, heartless, self defense,like babies where a threat
If you read the history of Rwanda it is the Europeans that played one group over another reversing the trends to keep the hatred brewing for centuries, this genocide did not happen by accident, it took many years of brainwashing and grooming.
That guy pissed me off too. Its always people like him that are well fed and the most guilty. 😠 Those poor innocent babies and Women always pay the worst price in war. 🙏🌹👼🏽
@@EveHyland-in8jb9ti9y yeah,they thrive on innocent blood
@Brian Badonde I’m guessing you haven’t learned of the occupation of Rwanda and how they forced the population to have ID cards with their tribal name? The Tutsis were seen as the higher class and Hutu’s were seen as workers. They used Tutsi’s to force Hutus to produce a certain amount of rubber or they would be punished. I think it’s ridiculous to put blame on whitey (all white people) but surely this could have been avoided without outside occupation.
@Brian Badonde do you even know the history of Rwanda?
The way these same kind of people always use positive words like "amazing" to describe something so horrible like they respect how and what happened 😮💨
The word means he was amazed...not positive,
Amazing had a different meaning back then, it wasnt used as it is used today.
Scouring the comments looking for something along the lines of "why are these white people so tone deaf" and found yours
I'm truly disgusted. All of the men in this situation, even the men covering it
they just have no idea
@@kevinpils4716 all the excuses in the world
That guy was Jewish. They don't consider Rwandans as humans... When he said 'amazing' he meant it
Imagine being innocent and in that prison.
Am a south sudanese and i studied with many Rwandans. Very friendly people with good sense of humour. Their genocide stories would give me chills. It was an open war you can call it tribal purge. It was so serious that married couples would kill one another if there was difference in their tribes. Step siblings were killing themselves, relatives were killing themselves that's how it was throughout the genocide that's why more than 1million people were killed within short time. Like i said it was total purge 😢😮
For what reason?
Hutu and Tutsis are one people, they are Rwandan, they are African, they are human! I hope for more love and unity in the world and I hope ethnicity and race do never tear humans apart anymore.
I am a Rwandan
And this was very informative.
Thanks.
Please don’t do anything or you will turned up here
President Kagame has really helped this country, he is resilient and has fought to see the pple back on their feet, a genocide is not an easy thing.

So proud of my country🇷🇼. Looking back at this, the world really had no hope for us. Everything was a mess. Only 27 years later it is a completely different story being told about us.
What ended up happening?
@@Crekification well, most people have now healed and forgiven each other, the whole country has really developed completely in all aspects you could think of, be it infrastructure, health… but mostly security. It is now the 5th fastest growing economy in Africa. It is the 2nd country contribution the most uniformed personnel to UN peacekeeping missions, it has the cleanest city in Africa, 3rd safest country in Africa,… like it’s so many things that have happened since 1994 that it’s unbelievable coz there was literally nothing left after the genocide. The new government started from scratch.
@@intaganzwa9033 that's so great to hear honestly. After what I did my school reports on in the early 2000s it was hard to see a path forward for the nation. I'm so happy to hear that they found the right path towards peace.
@@intaganzwa9033 I am really happy to see that Rwanda is a better place. :)
Hope that your country will see peace and happiness in the near and the far future.
@@intaganzwa9033stop the cap , Rwandans still hurt especially thr older generations
Looking at the sullen faces and seemingly innocent eyes of those prisoners my mind wonders, do they belong to a murderer? Did they have the same defeated look while watching others die? How much horror did they commit? Witness? How did those eyes look then? Those faces?
The human being is one bizarre creature.
Anyone is capable of killing under the right circumstances.
@@haudace True.. But not 'any' circumstance. I NEVER would murder under these circumstances. I guess it is a matter of worldview and faith, I am not excessive about nationalism, I am more a right and wrong typw of person, justice is my worldview.
@@saabajoe some Tutsis were killed off by priests. ISIL/Al Qaeda groups are motivated by conviction of faith. You are not the exception. The point is to acknowledge what we are, and learn to be better and repress our violent urges.
@@haudace ISIL/AlQaeda are motivated by faith? Well although that is the prevailing official narrative, I find it simplistic and intellectually lazy to accept. So I would respectfully disagree.
"Faith" does not introduce armies and heavy weaponry across sovereign nations' borders. Well oiled and well financed super powerful entites do those things. So although many, if not most of the rank and file are driven by ideology, they are simply as gullible as those who buy into that narrative.
Navigating these end times requires exercising one's full mental capacities.
But of course, in the age of non stop entertainement and social media using one's brain is tiring, must easier and safer to consume the fed narrative.
@@saabajoe It's called Islamic terrorism for a reason. It's religious extremism aka faith based. It's not me saying it, this is acknowledged by most if not all security authorities on the world stage. You are the one denying reality here. Faith never stopped people being violent in the past. Do you really believe all those Nazis, Mongols, Hutus, Europeans colonials scrambling and looting in Africa weren't regular people?
Let those prisoners suffer, may they suffer and continue to suffer.
Why? Not all of them are guilty for a crime! The court did not find them guilty yet. Maybe thery are not guilty att all. There are even children suffering….
@@Flower-ck2bs i think this video was made before 2005. People who were innoncent they let out of prison. Bt u need to understand even they let them out. But they saw everything so are the one who said where the dead body for tutsis were dag, kept, thrown
You're so illiterate, you should be in that jail..its easy to judge when you're home behind your screens and keyboard...
@@Flower-ck2bs did you see that one clip where the guy was telling the newscaster that it wasn’t tut. It was the RPF. I believe him… they killed everyone then started taking over 🤷🏻♀️ he looked a little old to be killing people with his “ torso”

This world is very complicated
When you finally realize there are no monsters under our beds, in our closets waiting for us to fall asleep. Nah, their among us. They walk among us every single day. & the fact that we are so cruel in a world where we can literally be ANYTHING, so many of us choose to be cruel versus being kind is beyond the mind of even the devil, is beyond disturbing & harrowing
Watching this doc after 27 years of it's making made realize how Long our beloved country came and complex challenges our leaders faced to be able to be having such peaceful country which is very unfortunate for the guy who narrated the story cause he ended saying more war more vengeance and more death instead we Rwandans choose reconciliation, peace and prosperity
R the hutu paying for those crimes??
@@zThaRipper7 noooooo cuz not all hutus did it and not all are bad
and there is no such a thing as a hutu and a tutsi or twa in rwanda anymore

he made us one so noooo except the one that committed genocide
and some of them have been forgiven and they have let them go

@@iamme9806 that's not true. The prisons in Rwanda r full of hutu who were alleged to have been apart of the genocide. The wounds of WHITE ppl separating u were never healed. Tension is still in the air
@@zThaRipper7 are u rwandan??
if you are then you would have first said that the prisons are full of rwandans who participated in genocide
and yes some prisons are still full of them because they haven't yet finished serving their time and many have been coming out of the prisons
it depends on how much you participated or the progress that you made in prison
if they see that you are a changed man and that you have attorned for what you did
they let you out even before finishing your time
if you are still full of hate or are one of the perpetrators then you will never get out
which is fair and i hope there should not be a complaint about that
anddd tension is still in some grown people because some haven't moved on yet and some still have hate in them and want to finish what they started
And thats why H.E isn't allowing much freedom in the country because it might trigger people to spread hate
rwanda is still fragile because its been only 27 years
the tension will get removed when this generation or the generation that it will produce is the only one standing
you feel me?

They never talk about this stuff ever during black history month. Africa is ridden with genocide, even today. B folks sure love to ignore that and instead complain about whites.
Fact is that they dont need more lawyers and courts to deal with the people who did the killing.... they need an airstrike.
they weren't acting alone, killed them but let the ones giving the orders live?
So you just kill everyone despite the fact that some weren’t involved in the killing? Sounds just.
funny how all westerners have the same mindset, problem in a country? war. cant wait when its your turn

To everyone who reads the comments. Please stop calling what happened in 1994 in Rwanda as the "Rwandan Genocide" when you do this you are claiming that the victims of the genocide had a way of defending themselves which is totally wrong because those victims were defenseless. The proper name is THE GENOCIDE AGAINST THE TUTSI. Furthermore I urge you to visit Rwanda and learn more about the genocide and the proper alignment of history.
I still can't believe that guy had the audacity to say that the RPF was killing the people exiled in church, I pray and hope no one believes the lies he so blatantly told!
Just look at how the Hutus describe it and how the tutti describe it, those guys were clearly partaking in the genocide
Why would they said that though
who’s to say he’s lying tho? The most unbelievable things are often true.
I do hope the people who committed such atrocities suffer and see how much of this they did to others
Let's hope hell is real.
Addressing the root cause of all this is key to healing the nation.....both sides have their own grievances..
Why couldn't other countries send legal professionals over to make quick work of all the cases? We send medical people overseas, why not this?
no one was interested at the time. most of Africa was like this.
Its all a matter of their own national interest.. and they seem to have none with rwanda
@Kim Ayo we can’t solve that or other problems. America is a failed experiment
It’s a great idea but everyone’s criminals justice systems are backlogged for months and in some cases for years, and the only time other countries put a lot of effort into the medical side of things is to prevent the spread of disease so really they’re only doing it to protect themselves and not really to help others.
So I guess the truthful answer to your question is that the governments that run our countries don’t really care about what’s happening in this prison and charities like the Red Cross (and others) are not in the business of law but only in the business of supplying medical and food/cloths.
But like I said, it is a great idea. Lawyers, prosecutors, and judges crossing boarders to help would be a great service to both the innocent & the guilty because no one should live in those conditions no matter how heinous their crimes.
Because no country would risk professional's life like pawns. Foreigners in suits, no matter what their rank is or how educated they don't have authority over governors, police, army or locals. If foreigners were to decide that 2 commanders: "A" and "B" is guilty for war crime, who would have authority to go and make arrests?
It would require a large military personnel ...which would be called an invasion force.
Rwanda is in 2021 the Switzerland of Africa. If that isn't a miracle show me one. Achieved by Rwandans themselves almost without help from outside.
isnt it weird how every nation that went through a catastrophic event, always turns out better?
japan, china, s.korea, literally every european nation etc...

The day before the Rwandan genocide began, thew U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan received an emergency phone call from Canada's General Romeo Daillaire in Rwanda. A Hutu defector had brought to Daillaire the locations of all the Hutu weapons storage locations and the General wanted to ask the U.N. Secretary General for authorisation to move that night and seize the weapons. Kofi Annan actually got the phone call while eating out at one of New York City's most expensive restaurants. He did not want his lunch disturbed and refused to take General Daillaire's phone call. The massacre began the next day. President Bill Clinton eventually landed in Air Force One at Kigali airport after the genocide and on the tarmac told the waiting press, "I had no idea" that the genocide would take place. The United Nations knew about it beforehand. All the Central African nations knew about it beforehand. NATO - with several nations' troops on location in Rwanda - knew beforehand. But the President of the United States claims he knew nothing. Furthermore, in the days and hours just before the genocide began, NATO pulled its troops out post haste, particularly the Belgians who - historically speaking - had set the stage for the genocide. More to say.
I believe you ,they always set these things up and act like they do not know , as they say themselves they want Africa without the people
thank you
ya there's more to this story, as well. 50 years ago, I did some work for the Nixon White House under Ray Haldeman. Following Clinton's shameful visit after the genocide, I wrote a letter to him. There were saome things which took place as a result. Be well.
I feel nothing for the conditions of those in that prison. The way I see it they're just getting a little taste of what the Tutsi people went through as they were being hunted raped and massacred with machetes and anything else the Hutus could get their hands on. This is a very fitting punishment for them. And I hope that they're still there to this day!
We can watch this 1000x and still won't be able to wrap around our heads...
What a 10 year old did to be prisioner? This is unbelievable
Even a 10 year old who murders in these circumstances is a victim. Many wouldn’t agree, but it is absolutely the case

I remember those images.
It was the most Barbaric And horrendous act, in human history.
The Devil, took a vacation, in rwanda, for 3 months. And he did is job very well.
Never forget what happen, in those HELL on Earth, 3 months.
Please, dont forget, otherwise, the beast wins. And that is unancectable.
RIP to those 800.000 (yes 800.000 deaths in 3 months) Souls.
Moved on??? Deluded???. You right you need a tonn of ludes, man.
😭😭😭
Playing dead to survive.....
And i think to myself what a wonderful world.
Far out. Its pitiful that ppl have to live like and put up with this. From other people.
You are Australian. You have absolutely no idea how the world looks like.
I’ve read so many books about the Tutsi genocide and I’m convinced that the Belgians and French were involved in this. Nothing else makes sense.
Proof?
Yes I agree
Yes. They made racial experiments there making one group with lighter skin superior to the dark skinned ones.
@@bjornpolivka5774 You can find the proof if you read about the history and documentation made by scientists from Belgium and France.
@@Flower-ck2bs Oh that you mean. Like making racial profiles etc. Yeah all colonial Europeans did that I don't see how the french and belgians were directly involved in the genocide though. That said belgians, french and I Do believe germans came up will all that racial profiling in the region which indeed is a part of all the hate of tutsi and hutu for each other. I'm not aware of belgians or french killing people during the genocide.
To all those questioning the use of the word "amazing" and suggesting he means it as a positive... it's and adjective that English speakers typically used as a positive but can equally refer to describe a negative... as can stupefying or staggering which can be used interchangeably with the word amazing. To those giving criticism to the overall tone... as in being uncaring... this document was made to inform of an atrocity and not to express or suggest the feeling one should have when presented with the information... I would wager everything it's not in support of genocide, so to all of the keyboard warriors here please spend time contributing something useful to the world rather than ranting at things you take out of context.
People are reading the emotions on his face and the implications of his words and feeling disgusted. We read people like that so we can get a gauge on their emotionality. The lack of empathy we're noticing from the journalist isn't just nothing. You can make the argument that the journalist being unattached emotionally to the situation is irrelevant but frankly
Giving little weight to the lack of empathy we tolerate from men is what fueled this madness. Ofc people are going to feel upset at how tone deaf these white-made documentaries are.
@@Izanagi057 I implore you to tell me why.
If I was a journalist, there's no way in hell I'd go in there without a hazmat suit!
Rwandans please let us not forget where we've come from it's a miracle to be where we are right now who could have thought?Thank God,never forget the past strive to make our motherland a better place than we found it and there is no excuse for limiting our capabilities.God bless Rwanda, Bless Africa, bless the whole world .All we need is your love and Peace
I think it's fair to know why they ended up in this hell prison....those thug brought hell to Innocents souls.
better conditions than a lot of them deserve.
How do you even know if they did it or not you don’t the news people don’t
@@chelseabrown339 hence "a lot of them" not "all of them"
Beautiful music and singing at the end. I would like to listen to such music. Is it accessible on YT?
Its crazy, that I didn't hear of this during my childhood upbringing...
Psychological damages takes longer to heal then scares
True, till this day some people go into a depressive state during April to August since it's an distinct season in Rwanda.... During genocide memorials you hear women scream and go into PTSD episodes... My people still have a long way to go
I hope that all who deserve it finally get closure and justice
Rwanda died once and raised, it will never die again,
The Unity of Rwandans is a light to the rest of the world, and the world should learn from Rwanda to never have such atrocity anywhere else in the world.
The process to overcome genocide is much complicated than I thought.
You would have had to take me too, if my children was no more, they are literally the only thing keeping me alive
🌹🌹🌹
3:19 This guys tone of voice and the words he uses to describe the situation are so... off. "It's an amazing thing that happened here" what???
Yeah I was really confused when he said that🤔
yes... i almost lost my mind when he said that
There are idiots on this planet. Ariko twaribohoye.
3:09 He seems glad at how well he describes the genocide.
He is probably sitting in an office,
and just thinking that he is making a good career
I think same thing to
The guy that works for the United Nationd Lee Woodyear said “it’s amazing”, how pathetic. People need to be careful with their use of words. We should tag him this video on his Twitter account and ask him what he meant when he said “this is amazing” 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Couldn't agree more
Amazing means astonishing, surprising. Stop being outraged over nothing instead focus that anger onto the people who commit these atrocities.
instead of trying to "cancel" someone over something they said almost 30 years ago, maybe learn the meaning of words.
Essential Meaning of amazing
: causing great surprise or wonder : causing amazement She gave an amazing [=wonderful] performance in her first film. It's amazing [=difficult to believe] how/that many adults in this country don't know how to read.
You caught that too hah?
Yeah it’s a typical tourist comment, like he’s just sightseeing, which he is, essentially. Safe and detached
The pure inner strength and indomitable spirit of people such as this woman is mind boggling and truly awe inspiring to behold. The average person can only ever hope to attain a small degree of the transcendence they have experienced. The human soul can sometimes be as beautiful as it is horrifying. The power of forgiveness is the salvation of the soul. Wishing her a long, happy, healthy and peaceful future.
🇷🇼🙏🍻
I’m really sorry for my country -Rwanda 🙏😭😭
this reporter has done something extraordinary
This is by far the worst atrocity in modern human existence. It's on the scale of the Nazis.
Nazis? There were far worse regimes than the nazis.
This is far worse than the nazi's
I agree
Imagining what some of these people did..my heart feel like they deserve this
don't understand or comprehend how this level of violence brutality can still exist ..I've had a rage experience triggered by someone hurting a loved one..but in no way let it get out of control where I acted brutalistic or barbaric..
Anyone is capable of doing anything
It's been bad the for decades. I'm almost 65 years old. When I was a boy scout we collected money for Unicef for Biafra back in the 60's. It never ends.
After few decades, It is clear that despite all killing, crimes and horrible stories, people decided to put hates aside and looking for future. Considering how majority of nations end up with endless internal war, hate, revenge and destruction, it is truly respectful....
GOD 😭😭💔my country am out of words !anyway thanks GOD now Rwanda is getting better
it is not getting better
it is better
are you in rwanda?
@@iamme9806 yeah !Am Rwandan
@@iamme9806yea iam in Rwanda 🇷🇼
Well I hope that will never happen again, the Hutu seem very heartless and they are majority in Rwanda still!
Getting high to their memory from peaceful New Zealand, I am so grateful I was born here not there back in 1993.....
It was HECTIC back then... Every single night on the news EVERYONE was getting slaughtered beyond the definition of VIOLENCE
As bad as they were, my god this prison conditions are absolutely apocalyptic. No place on earth should be that bad. Shocking conditions in that prison
Today is February 25, 2025. This conflict still hangs over Africa by the way of Congo. Rwanda is said to be relatively stable today. However, this can be changing, because Hutus amd Tutsis are still harboring anger toward each other. Now their hatred of each other has transitioned into Congo. I keep preaching African Unity but nobody cares for that.
You are on point as much as Rwanda has put an effort in ending tribalism in Rwanda but in Congo and Burundi they are still ethnicity discrimination
Sometimes you think you problems but listening to this. Makes my heart boil. It's very painful. Where is God. Please God act fast and rescue this victims of cold blood war. 🙏
He doesn’t exist, and if he does, he let it happen
No way to really sleep. Straight out of a book, on torture
that chapter is kind of lackluster after the previous chapter of that book... "how to watch your neighbors get hacked up with machetes while those wielding the machetes are being proclaimed a victim, and passing the blame their actions on foreigners". somehow "i hacked my neighbors up and now my sleep and personal space are suffering" just doesnt pack the same punch.
How do you sleep (with your conscience)? and he starts about how difficult it is in prison
so sad indeed😭😭😭
U.N is acting like these was something they are much surprised of much later after it happened. Same circumstance for what happened to Rwanda is prepared on daily basis by witness of arm deals in various parts of the world. Basically U.N just scavenge on carcasses.
This man really undermined the power of rwandese justice really got served and prisoners are also safe n sound
And today Rwanda is one of the best run economies in Africa, a real rise from the ashes!
For now anyway, lets see how long it lasts.
Read a few more articles on the economy of Rwanda. don't get carried away by tall buildings in Kigali that belong to Kagame
@@bintiraha3250 Tall? Nah short’s better
An illusion fed by wealth stolen from the Congo.
@@davidkomakech9769 Why is the Congo poor? Easy:
U.K. prosecutors have told Swiss authorities they have proof of an alleged money-laundering ring spanning from Africa to Europe that paid almost *$380 million in cash bribes* to authorities *in the Democratic Republic of Congo.*
Congo is Africa’s *biggest producer of copper* and *supplies about 70% of the world’s cobalt,* a critical input for the batteries that power electric vehicles.
The $379 million that was allegedly *siphoned off in bribes* over a five-year period is *more than Congo’s total spending on health care* last year.
The case reference is A. LTD v. Public Prosecutor, Geneva County RR.2020.242 at the Common Pleas Division of the Federal Criminal Court of Switzerland.

Das ist unfassbar traurig 😢😢😢
Heart wrenching to watch such atrocities to our own fellow African people! Foreign instigation , selfish intentions & an inherent dislike for for Africa, & selfish dominion over Africa. My heart still bleeds for Rwanda, these people have never recovered. May God Avenge You Rwanda!!
How was it foreign instigation ? i thought it was a war between two tribes both from Rwanda ?
@@mcpartridgeboythese people were put into those categories by the Belgian colonizers. The Belgians set them up for a conflict when they separated them into groups, put one group in power and then left.
Dam so it was a planned coup for a decisive winner and I bet the biggest nations funded both sides to see who they wanted to be in power
@@netherwolves3412 cuz those people were just disgusting that they are so easily influenced to murder their own neighbor. Africans don't accept responsibility in any light, any way or any country. So many ruthless murderers but it's always another whose 2 blame.. wow what a sad mindset to have.
You are a part of the problem. Telling them to avenge and continue the cycle. People like you will constantly blame others, play the victim and in reality you would be one of those who happily participates.
Why didn't America do Something? We love butting in to other countries affairs, whether it's welcome or not, but when it was needed, there was crickets. I remember this. My father is fascinated with Africa and he would tell us what was happening with the tutsie and hutus. This was around the time of the first gulf War. I was very disappointed with Clinton at that time bc it made no sense going to the middle east but nothing for Europe. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised since rwanda isn't rich and didn't have oil.
They’ll only intervene when there is a profit out of it.
Also Rwanda being in chaos helps USA as Congo is a neighbour.
USA only intervenes if there's a profit
@@killplayz1000 cough cough Iraq
Go back and research again. You seemed to have missed some things.
And we’re worried about pro-nouns 😳
Fallacy of relative privation.
Underrated comment!
This is a Fallacy of relative privation (also known as "appeal to worse problems" or "not as bad as") which is dismissing an argument or complaint due to what are perceived to be more important problems.
@@MFTQ The old my made up problems are way worse than your actual problems..
@@12thsonofthelama86 Nobody said what's happened in the rwanda is worse than pronouns. It's just that people want you to call them by there pronouns and get a bit annoyed when you dont. Highlighting the issue of how misgemdering trans and NB people doesnt make the problems in rwanda worse.
Tears are streaming down my face! We are in this today sister. Read The Terrible Truth About the Truth by Emma Kay, Emma is also a genocide survivor:(
How the hell is this event not so much more public. The most viewed video about this only has a little more than half a million views like tf?! This is horrific
Standing death for perpetrators.
Wow what goes around comes around.
