The crime of colonization in the Rwanda massacre or national prejudice?

"Hounds", also known as "Killing Forbidden Zone", tells the story of the Rwanda genocide that shocked the world in 1994. The reason for this human tragedy was complicated. The main reason was that the rulers used the minority Tutsi to rule during the colonial rule of the West. The Hutu, a majority ethnic group, thus caused ethnic hatred between the two ethnic groups. At the beginning of the massacre, the sit-back of the United Nations army and the wait-and-see attitude of the troops stationed in the West also directly led to the Hutu radicals' unscrupulous and unscrupulous killings of the Tutsi.
It’s hard to imagine that entering a new century, there is such a country in the world, a race can use all the cruel methods in the world to slaughter its compatriots simply because of racial prejudice and hatred, not to mention the Hutu and Hutu people. The Tutsi people are originally the same ethnic group, but they are of different branches.
Africa has always been called the Forgotten Continent. Because of its poverty, wars, diseases, harsh natural conditions, and deep-rooted racial prejudice, this sacred continent, called the ancestor of mankind in Darwin’s theory of evolution, has fallen step by step. abyss. On the one hand, we accuse Africa of this misfortune because the continent has been plundered and ravaged by Western whites since the emergence and development of capitalist society, not only for its resources and energy, but also for the inhabitants of this land. Living life. Western whites have trafficked more than 200 million people from Africa in the hundreds of years of capitalist social development, most of them died tragically under cruel and high-pressure working conditions...
Human sorrow, those Christians who claim to believe in God It is said that God has given them power, and they are totally gifted with human rights in doing so, and it is justified. A religion must adhere to the principle of loving others. When these so-called believers killed and enslaved hundreds of millions of blacks, not only did they not feel that this was an act of going to hell that would be punished by God, but that it was God. They are blessing them, so they have to make persistent efforts. It can be seen that when the so-called pure faith and bright gold are placed in front of these pious colonists at the same time, they will still choose the latter. If you question him, he will definitely say that anyone can refuse gold. Temptation?
The calamities brought to Africa by the colonists were far more than the hundreds of millions of black people who died in vain, and the land scarred by perennial artillery fire and pollution, which had almost exhausted all its energy, and the internal affairs of confusion. In order to make the natives more obedient, the Western colonists adopted the policy of ruling the country by the people, which was used by the colonists. This laid a dangerous and fragile fuse for the turbulent political situation in Africa in the future. The Rwanda massacre is its sharpest response.
Let's take a look at what role Western countries, which have always promoted human rights, freedom, and benevolence, played in this massacre. They, like the UN peacekeeping forces, are actually accomplices of the Hutu radical government. When the massacre began, as long as the peacekeeping forces acted to warn these insurgents, I believe the future situation will not be so bad and tragic. However, the United Nations peacekeeping force was wise to protect themselves, under the guise of not acting casually without receiving orders from their superiors, and ignored the bloody massacres around them. In fact, the commands are all pretexts. Because these countries are poor and have little effect or influence in the international community, the United Nations has never bought these African countries in their hearts.
The ghost of racism, like nationalism, is always lingering. The indifference of the West directly reflects their always discriminatory attitude towards people of color. Remember that when the French army came to rescue people, only the white people could get in the car. This meant that in their eyes and hearts, only the white people had the right to survive, and their lives were more valuable and meaningful. In this way, equal lives are distinguished between high and low, high and low in front of a truck that leads to survival.
The Rwanda massacre was a huge tragedy, but no one dares to make any assertions about whether such a tragedy will happen again. But I want to say that if racial discrimination and ethnic prejudice cannot be eradicated, such a tragedy may once again appear in the world.

Shooting Dogs quotes

  • Joe Connor: How much pain can a human being take? If you feel enough pain, does everything just shut down? Before you've done it.

    Christopher: I don't know, Joe.

    Joe Connor: Cause you think no one knew. You think that it'd be something... Something that you designed, you know, shed or fell. If you feel enough pain.

    Christopher: I hope so.

  • Roland: Capitaine Delon. Capitaine. I have a polite request. It's just from all of us, the people of Kuchekiro and refugees of this school.

    Roland: [takes out a piece of paper and reads from it] We are all fathers, mothers, sons, daughters. We are all one family now. And that is as one family that we wish to die. Therefore we politely request just before you leave us that your soldiers use their guns to kill us. We do not wish to be killed by machete. The bullets will kill us all quickly. And it will be much less pain.
