Ashh's personal Reflection!!

The Rwanda Genocide is a tragic time in history. From my point of view I don't understand how people can torcher people like they did. Wouldn't you think that a little voice inside your head would be telling you this is completely wrong? Leaving people to strave and killing off even little children and their parents is horrible. Its hard to believe that a world like ours did such cruel things to people. Now their are at least laws that people have to follow. Even though it was the soldiers duty to kill people and take orders, they could of fought back and over powered the leaders since there were only two of them.

How would you feel if you were only five years old and you had to wittiness your mother,father,and sister and brother get killed right in front of you. With no one else to care for you,for the rest of your life. Being a young child and having no one their can basically ruin your life forever. No one could talk back either.They couldn't say what they wanted to get out, the rights we have today were no where near in forced at all. It's a shame that people couldn't have a freedom of speech because other wise they would be slaughtered in a fraction of a second. At this time in history I think something should of been done to stop everything that was happening.

To think about nothing being done or even at that, nothing could of been done it's a sad thing to here. It was only about 13-60 years ago that all of this was happening. It wasn't that long ago. Can history repeat itself like this again? Will the government of the United States step up to stop it from ever happening again. People were killed slowly and the soldiers would take people and without any pain killers pull peoples teeth out to see how much pain the human body could take. Did people of the Rwanda Genocide really think it was okay? Did having no laws actually make everything they did alright?

If feel extremely bad for all the people that had to go threw what they went through. Human actions were simply horrible at that time in history. It has changed a lot since then. Hopefully by keeping all the laws and rights of freedom the way they are, history will never ever repeat itself like this again. It's not good that people can't just simply talk things threw. People have no consideration for others. If people from the Rwanda Genocide could be brought back to the year 2007 and shown how things have changed their mouths would literally drop to the floor all the way. To show them how people get along and what rights people have. They would probably then feel bad for all the things they have done. I hope that no one in this time is really that cruel and agrees with the things that were done to innocent people.

The way things are justified now a days, has a big swing on things. Just thinking about The Rwanda Genocide is a skin crawling thought. Not giving people a chance and just not caring and killing them off isn't the right thing to do at all. Everyone should have a time to say whatever they want to. Just killing people because maybe they don't have a certain hair color or look a little different doesn't justify anything. All humans have the right of freedom of speech and laws that tells government about the situation of things. The Rwanda Genocide was a mistake that was made and is to cruel to be reminded of again.
