Hotel Rwanda reflection

About 800,000 people died in 100 days. According to the Atlantic.com, “It was the fastest, most efficient killing spree of the twentieth century.” How could nobody knew about this traumatic event when 80000 people were literally butchered everyday? Watching the movie and reading the articles relating to this issue amazed me of the state of ignorance that the world had. Just because the majority doesn’t know or rarely visits Rwanda, it’s unethical and inhuman-like to neglect the gravity of the situation. This wouldn’t be the case if other countries like China or India had this problem; because it was a small country that no body cared about. The Media was delivered to the audience had dearth of information with scarce correct facts in it. They were certainly forgetting the stuffing in the sandwich. Not only that, but pulling all the armies out of the countries for their own protection was a dastardly act and a stupid movement to show their low quality of reputation. There is another genocide going on in Darfur, Sudan. What are we going to do? This time is the perfect opportunity to regain the shameful act we have shown and give full attention and support to stop this incessant catastrophe.
