W kwietniu 2026 roku Rwanda będzie obchodziła 32. rocznicę traumatycznego ludobójstwa. Między 7 kwietnia, a 17 lipca 1994 roku, w ciągu zaledwie stu dni, od 800 tysięcy do miliona Tutsi i Hutu zostało zmasakrowanych. Byliśmy w Miejscu Pamięci Ludobójstwa, a także w Rwanda Art Museum ze szczątkami zestrzelonego samolotu prezydenckiego i Kandt House Museum, dawnej rezydencji pierwszego niemieckiego gubernatora. Zajrzeliśmy do Hotelu Rwanda, a właściwie Hotel des Mille Collines, ikonicznego miejsca rozsławionego przez film. Odwiedziliśmy też jezioro Kiwu, zaliczane do pięciu Wielkich Jezior Afrykańskich, leżące co prawda w pięknym otoczeniu lasów deszczowych, ale nazywane „jeziorem-zabójcą”. Odpowiedzieliśmy również na pytanie, jak to się stało, że Rwanda jest jednym z najczystszych krajów świata. Gościem Jerzego Jopa był Dariusz Drajewicz, fotografik, reportażysta, podróżnik, filmolog, doktor nauk prawnych, dyrektor Międzynarodowego Instytutu Sztuki Akademii Polonijnej.

For hundreds of years, Rwanda's Hutu and Tutsi groups had lived in relative harmony. But the arrival of European colonists enforced and exaggerated the differences between them, until, from the mid-twentieth century, resentment began to boil over. By 1994, the two groups were sworn enemies. Over 100 days, violence engulfed the country, as members of the Hutu majority worked systematically to exterminate the Tutsi. Spurred on by government and military officials, neighbour turned against neighbour, friend against friend, until hundreds of thousands lay dead.   But what precipitated this senseless mass killing? Why were so many ordinary people willing to participate? And what responsibility does the international community bear for the bloodshed? This is a Short History Of the Rwandan Genocide.

In 1994, the nation of Rwanda endured a brutal 100-day spasm of violence that tore families apart and claimed the lives of over one million people. Members of the ethnic minority Tutsi group were hunted down and murdered by members of the larger Hutu group. While this was the worst episode of violence between the two groups, it was not the first. What added to the tragedy was that while the horrific events unfolded, the rest of the world stood by and did nothing.  Learn about the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, why it happened, and how it unfolded on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

This episode was recorded for my UK Column show.Jeremy Kuzmarov—author, historian and managing editor of CovertAction Magazine—argues that the Rwandan genocide is a myth, suggesting instead that it was a civil war influenced by foreign interests, including the CIA, MI6, and Mossad, as well as various governments.He points out that the Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) was backed by the US and UK to gain control over the Congo's mineral wealth.Plus, Jeremy challenges the mainstream portrayal of the conflict (such as Hotel Rwanda), asserting that both Hutu and Tutsi committed atrocities, and criticises the Western media for perpetuating a simplified narrative that ignores the truth.CovertAction website: https://covertactionmagazine.com➡️ Jerm Warfare website: https://www.jermwarfare.com

En el colmo del descaro esta vez hablamos de la puntualidad ya que el Tutsi se quedó dormido para grabar.

Y aura-t-il une rencontre Kagame-Tshisekedi à Washington d'ici Noël ? Rien n'est moins sûr. « Il n'y aura la paix dans l'est du Congo que si les génocidaires FDLR sont neutralisés », affirme sur RFI le ministre rwandais des Affaires étrangères, Olivier Nduhungirehe, qui déplore le manque de volonté politique de Kinshasa pour lancer cette opération. Le ministre précise qu'une telle neutralisation des FDLR « ouvrira la voie à la levée des mesures de défense du Rwanda » au Congo. En ligne de Luanda, où il vient d'assister au septième sommet Afrique-Europe, le chef de la diplomatie rwandaise répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Où en sont les discussions entre votre pays et la République démocratique du Congo en vue d'une signature de la paix à Washington ?   Olivier Nduhungirehe : La paix a déjà été signée le 27 juin à Washington. À Washington, les discussions de mise en œuvre se déroulent, il y a des progrès. Mais notre problème, c'est qu'il y a des violations permanentes du cessez-le-feu par l'armée congolaise.   Alors ce que tout le monde attend, c'est une rencontre à Washington entre le président Kagame et le président Tshisekedi. Quand est-ce qu'elle aura lieu ?   Elle aura lieu dans quelques jours. Mais le problème, c'est qu'il y a des bombardements quotidiens de la part des avions de chasse et des drones d'attaque de l'armée congolaise, non seulement contre des positions de l'AFC/M23, ce qui est bien sûr en violation du cessez-le-feu, mais aussi, ce qui est plus grave, contre les villages Banyamulenge, ces Tutsi congolais du Sud Kivu, dans un contexte de montée des discours de haine.   Alors, ce que disent les autorités congolaises, notamment par la voix de Patrick Muyaya, c'était sur RFI il y a quelques jours, c'est qu'il n'y aura de véritable paix que quand vous aurez renoncé à vos mesures de défense sur le territoire congolais…  Et bien Patrick Muyaya devrait lire l'Accord de paix de Washington. Il n'y aura de paix que si les FDLR, les génocidaires FDLR qui sont soutenus, financés par Kinshasa et qui sont même intégrés dans l'armée, sont neutralisés, comme l'exige le Conops, le concept des opérations, qui a été signé dans le cadre de l'accord de paix de Washington. Et c'est la neutralisation de ces génocidaires FDLR, soutenus par Kinshasa, qui ouvrira la voie à la levée des mesures rwandaises de défense.   Les autorités congolaises disent que le désarmement des FDLR a commencé…  Mais on ne le voit pas, sauf si c'est dans une réalité parallèle. Les FDLR n'ont pas été neutralisés, comme cela est exigé par l'Accord de paix de Washington. Il y a eu, il vous souviendra, ce communiqué des FARDC qui a appelé les FDLR à déposer les armes. Et puis après il y a eu un communiqué des FDLR qui a prétendu qu'elles sont prêtes à déposer les armes au camp de la Monusco, mais qu'elles en sont empêchées par le M23. Et puis récemment, vous avez vu cette interview du porte-parole des FDLR qui a dit qu'elles ne déposeront jamais les armes, qu'elles vont se battre jusqu'au bout. Et donc les FDLR sont toujours soutenues par Kinshasa. Rien ne se fera sans qu'il y ait la bonne foi et la volonté politique de Kinshasa sur cette question des FDLR puisqu'on en parle depuis longtemps, mais à l'heure où on vous parle, les FDLR sont toujours intégrées dans l'armée congolaise. Elles sont toujours soutenues par Kinshasa.   Mais franchement, la cartographie du déploiement des FDLR par les autorités congolaises, ce n'est pas la preuve que celles-ci sont de bonne foi ?  Mais l'accord de paix de Washington parle de neutralisation des FDLR. C'est ce qui doit se passer. Ce n'est pas une cartographie, ce ne sont pas des communiqués, des appels à déposer les armes. C'est la neutralisation effective des FDLR. Et jusqu'à présent, on ne voit pas de neutralisation de ces génocidaires FDLR depuis le 27 juin qu'on a signé cet accord. Ça fait plus de cinq mois.   Et si demain la neutralisation commence réellement, est-ce que vous, vous vous engagez à renoncer aux mesures de défense que vous avez prises sur le territoire congolais ?   C'est dans l'Accord de paix de Washington. L'aspect sécuritaire parle de neutralisation des FDLR et de levée de mesures rwandaises de défense. Donc, si les FDLR sont neutralisées, le Rwanda va lever ses mesures de défense.   Et ce serait l'affaire de quelques semaines, cela pourrait permettre un accord définitif d'ici Noël ?  Je ne sais pas. Il y a un chronogramme qui est dans le Conops, les 90 jours. Mais de toute façon, il faut toujours la volonté politique de neutraliser ces FDLR. Et puis on va voir bien sûr quand et comment ça se fera. Mais sans volonté politique, rien ne se fera.   Pendant ce sommet Afrique-Europe de Luanda, la ministre congolaise des Affaires étrangères a demandé à l'Union européenne d'adopter de nouvelles sanctions contre votre pays. Quelle est votre réaction ?   Oui. Ma collègue Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner ne fait que ça depuis février. Elle demande toujours des sanctions contre le Rwanda. Mais maintenant, on est fin novembre. Un accord de paix est passé par là. C'est quand même assez curieux que ma collègue congolaise demande des sanctions contre un pays avec qui on a signé un accord de paix. J'étais avec elle le 27 juin pour signer cet accord. Au lieu de mettre en œuvre cet accord, elle demande toujours des sanctions contre le Rwanda. Et puis, s'il y a des sanctions à demander, pourquoi ne demanderait-on pas des sanctions contre ceux qui affament des populations Banyamulenge et ceux qui bombardent ces populations, ceux qui collaborent avec un mouvement génocidaire et ceux qui répandent des discours de haine à travers les groupes Wazalendo qu'on a créés. Donc, à jouer à ce petit jeu de sanctions, je pense qu'on n'en sortirait pas. Il y a des accords qu'on a signés, à la RDC de les mettre en œuvre au lieu d'aller partout sans arrêt demander des sanctions.    À lire aussiRDC-Rwanda: le processus, conduit en partie par Washington, doit déboucher sur la signature de trois accords

Třináct navštívených zemí a přes 10 tisíc kilometrů našlapaných po prašných cestách, v blátě i po moderních asfaltových silnicích. To je v základních obrysech trasa, kterou z Jihoafrické republiky až do Rwandy urazil cestovatel Tadeáš Šíma. Jeho cesta tady bohužel prozatím končí kvůli válce v sousedním Súdánu. Jak se Rwanda, známá především kvůli genocidě Tutsiů v roce 1994, stala jedním z nejvyspělejších států Evropy?Všechny díly podcastu Seriál Radiožurnálu můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Welcome to this explosive, investigative, fact-finding edition of Light ‘Em Up!We are incredibly pleased you decided to join us for one of our most comprehensive episodes to date!Tonight, we shine the antiseptic light of the truth at the intersection of hate speech and the violence that stems from it.While a great many people on the right strongly disagree with the truth, and struggle to accept it, the fact that the radical right is far more violent than the left is unwavering. Far-right attacks continue to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.As a kid do you remember expressing the children's rhyme that says, “Sticks and stones can break your bones, but names can never hurt you?” While this is a nice thought — it isn‘t true. Words matter; words can hurt — words can lead to murder.In the Holy Bible, the Book of Ephesians (4:29) advises: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, which may benefit those who listen.” We need only look to the country of Rwanda in 1994 and the genocide that took place there. Collectively and pejoratively, the Tutsis were referred to as “cockroaches”.  Who acts neighborly or welcomes a cockroach into their home? Some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed in 100 days. (The Tutsi and Hutu are ethnic groups established primarily in Rwanda and Burundi.)Evidence shows that the use of radio impacted and effected mobilization for violence in the Rwandan genocide.For more than a decade we've been exposed to the hate filled vitriol of Donald Trump. The words he willingly and intentionally chooses are often filled with hate.It is evident from his outward behavior; Donald Trump is not happy.  Barack Obama haunts him in thought, word, and past deed.Trump regularly refers to anyone who isn't in his “in-group” as “the enemy of the people” … “animals” and “scum”, you name it.His targets have been the press as a whole and individual journalists, immigrants, Blacks, LGBTQ+ people, Democrats, and whomever he chooses in the moment.His third-grade vocabulary has no filter. His political party does nothing to hold him to account for his vile, hate-filled rhetoric, even opting to echo and use it often.Rarely does he open his mouth without denigrating, dehumanizing, blaming, or accusing another person of doing something with no evidence.In this explosive episode we will highlight:—    As a case study we'll examine how hate speech can and does facilitate violence. From the genocide that took place in 1994 in Rwanda we offer a special feature in hearing from Henriette Mutegwaraba, survivor of the genocide and founder of the Million Lives Genocide relief fund.—    Multiple examples of the vile, hateful, and demagogic language that Donald Trump spews with regularity and comparing and contrasting his words with that of the Rwandan genocide.And much, much more!“The enemy of the people” are words Adolph Hitler used to describe the Jews before his “final solution” was put into effect which killed some 6 million people.This is the language of insecure, fascist, racist, dictatorial demagogues, and it is extremely dangerous.In his book entitled Behemoth, first published in 1942, Franz Neumann wrote that violence served to establish totalitarian control over German society.Violence throughout the Third Reich was used as a rational instrument of political power.Donald Trump's administration does the same.Democracy is dying right in front of us.Don't move a muscle!Tune out the world and tune-in to Light ‘Em Up — Right here and right now!Tune in and follow our sponsors Newsly and We want to hear from you!

Ruandas Staatschef Paul Kagame nutzt seit Jahrzehnten Kriege mit der DR Kongo, um deren natürliche Ressourcen zu plündern – mit Hilfe der EU.

Wie kann man weiterleben nach der Erfahrung schrecklichster Gewalt? Wie kann eine juristische Aufarbeitung erfolgen, wie eine Erinnerungskultur? Fragen, die die Gesellschaft in Ruanda beschäftigen, 30 Jahre nach dem Genozid der Hutu an den Tutsi. Der Schriftsteller und Musiker Gaël Faye geht ihnen in seinem Roman "Jacaranda" nach. Niels Beintker hat ihn am Rande seiner Lesung in München getroffen. / "Karla", ein Film über ein Mädchen, das seinen Vater wegen sexuellen Missbrauchs anklagt, feierte Premiere beim Filmfest München 2025. Dort räumte er den Förderpreis Neues Deutsches Kino für die Beste Regie und für das Beste Drehbuch ab. Bettina Dunkel hat das Drama gesehen. / Wrestling auf der Wiesn? In seinem neuen Roman "Die beste Idee der Welt" erzählt der Münchner Autor Bernhard Heckler von einem privat und beruflich gescheiterten jungen Mann, der auf dem Oktoberfest eine Wrestling-Show aufziehen will. Den Roman gibt es bald als Lesung zu hören, auf Bayern 2 und online als BR-Podcast.

On Tuesday, in a groundbreaking new report, the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory officially concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. This comes ahead of the members of the commission stepping down later this year, after announcing their resignations this summer amid the US's escalating attacks on UN personnel.“The Commission concludes that the State of Israel bears responsibility for the failure to prevent genocide, the commission of genocide, and the failure to punish genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,” the report says.In this exclusive interview, Mehdi speaks with two of the commissioners behind this report: Chair Navi Pillay of South Africa and commissioner Chris Sidoti, one of Australia's most prominent human rights lawyers.In the interview, Pillay – who previously served as president of the UN's International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda – immediately draws parallels between genocide in Gaza and the Rwandan genocide.“It's when I came to the deliberate shooting of the single standing building where the fertility clinic was and the embryos. That immediately reminded me of the Rwanda genocide where I was a judge and where they ripped the bellies of pregnant women, pulled out the fetuses because they wanted to kill off the entire Tutsi group,” Pillay recounts.Pillay and Sidoti also both point out that unlike the Rwandan genocide, Palestinians in Gaza do not have neighboring countries they can escape to.“There is nowhere that the people of Gaza can go to escape this slaughter,” Sidoti tells Mehdi. “And yet the slaughter has continued.”The commissioners also address criticism that their report does not cover Hamas's war crimes, with Pillay noting that the commission has addressed Hamas's war crimes in previous reports.“It doesn't mean to me that every time you have to strike some kind of balance as if the parties are equal,” she explains. “They are not equal. One is the occupier and the other is occupied.”You can watch the full interview above to hear Mehdi press the commissioners on why it has taken almost two years for them to declare that Israel is committing a genocide, and why Israel prevented their commission from investigating claims of rape and sexual violence from both sides. He also asks whether they fear retaliation from the US for their report, after the Trump administration's sanctioning of ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan and UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese.If you're not a paid subscriber, please do consider upgrading your subscription today and supporting independent journalism.

Ruanda ist ein junges Land. Fast drei Viertel der Bevölkerung wurde nach dem Völkermord der Hutu an den Tutsi, nach 1994, geboren. Wie die Gesellschaft mit den Schatten der Gesellschaft lebt, erzählt der französisch-ruandische Autor und Musiker Gaël Faye in seinem zweiten Roman „Jacaranda“ mit viel Empathie und analytischer Tiefe.

Hi Stef, I've been wondering: If love is an "involuntary response to virtue," how can a parent love an infant? Can't animals display virtues, at least in a rudimentary fashion, as much as babies? ThanksI believe that individualism vs collectivism is the issue beneath all issues and that adopting a “content of character” mindset rather that a “judge by immutable characteristics” mindset, is the only peaceful and prosperous path forward for humanity. Most people are decent, and if we separated the world by decent people vs assholes there would be a lot less incentive to be assholes. Thoughts?Does philosophy come more naturally to honest people who are naturally attuned to the truth?Is it moral for a man to give his son a leg-up?- a good home with a loving mother- a virtuous example- a free college education- help with a home or business?Or is that unfair to another child from a poor and broken home?Can UPB define truth?i.e. it's the interpretation that could be useful to everyone.Do we have a moral duty to fight evil and pursue virtue?Are humans LLMs, with an extra mechanism on top ?Where does philosophy end and religion begin?What is more destructive: greed or jealousy

In 1994, as the genocide in Rwanda against the Tutsi minority unfolded, goalkeeper Eric Murangwa Eugene's life was in danger. Being a Tutsi, Eric had to beg for his life when five armed men showed up at his house to kill him. It was only when they recognised him as a footballer, and saw his photos as proof, that they left. Eric tells Jake Warren about spending the following months trying to evade capture and looks back at the moment that football helped save him.

Rwandans have been remembering victims of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in which more than a million people, mainly Tutsi, were massacred by Hutu militias. This year's anniversary comes as Rwanda faces accusations of backing M23 rebels in eastern DRC. DW talks to Freddy Mutanguha CEO of the Aegis Trust, an international organization working to prevent genocide and Alex Ngarambe in Kigali.

As we begin the national commemoration period today, remembering the innocent men, women and children we lost during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, I want to highlight some of the conversations we had during the 30th commemoration last year. LISTEN THE ENTIRE EPISODES BELOW1.

The country of Rwanda is still recovering from the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. The country is going through a period of healing and recovery while rebuilding the social and political systems that collapsed during that period.

Krieg in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo – Im Osten des afrikanischen Staats rücken Rebellen mit Hilfe Ruandas immer weiter vor, Tausende Menschen sind bereits gestorben. Die internationale Gemeinschaft hält sich bisher aus dem Konflikt heraus.

C'est une caricature publiée sur le site d'information congolais Actualité CD : on y voit un journaliste brandissant un micro devant un parterre d'hommes politiques et de représentants de la société civile à Kinshasa. Le journaliste les interpelle : « leaders d'opinion ! Un petit commentaire sur la révision ou changement de la Constitution ? » Tous les officiels veulent répondre en s'arrachant le micro : « moi, moi, moi », crient-ils. Et puis question suivante : « un commentaire sur la guerre qui a atteint Goma ? ». Et là, plus personne… Les officiels sont partis en courant…Et en effet, c'est la retenue qui domine à Kinshasa face à l'avancée des rebelles du M23 dans le Kivu. Les termes sont choisis. Les médias congolais, à l'instar du site 7 sur 7, parlent d' « incursion rwandaise à Goma », ou encore de « guerre d'agression ».Il faut dire que la situation est délicate. Le risque d'une extension du conflit est bien présent. C'est ce que souligne notamment Le Pays à Ouagadougou : « après le secrétaire général des Nations unies ce week-end qui disait craindre un embrasement régional du conflit en cours dans le Kivu avec l'ouverture possible de nouveaux théâtres de confrontation, c'est au tour du président du Burundi d'affirmer que la propension à l'extension transfrontalière de cette guerre est particulièrement grande, du fait de la situation volatile et explosive enregistrée, la semaine dernière, dans les deux extrémités du Kivu ».En effet, résume Jeune Afrique, « le président burundais, Évariste Ndayishimiye, a dit redouter que le conflit en RDC déclenche une guerre régionale. “Si ça continue comme ça, a-t-il déclaré, la guerre risque de se généraliser dans la région“. »Que veulent Makenga et Nanga ?La guerre dans quel but ? Quels sont les objectifs du M23 ?Le Monde Afrique brosse un long portrait du chef militaire de la rébellion, Sultani Makenga. C'est un « Tutsi dont une partie de la famille est originaire de la province du Masisi. (…) Ce “général“ discret a fait ses armes à l'ombre du président rwandais Paul Kagame et pris part à toutes les insurrections qui secouent l'est de la RDC depuis trente ans ».Dans une de ses rares interviews il y a deux ans, il déclarait, relève Le Monde Afrique : « nous avons choisi ce chemin parce que tout le reste a échoué. Nous avons au sommet de l'État des irresponsables, des bandits, des gens qui croient que le pays leur appartient ».Et Le Monde Afrique de s'interroger : « est-il un va-t-en-guerre piloté par Kigali et Kampala ? Un stratège militaire qui a su jouer un rôle dans toutes les rébellions congolaises ? Un opposant politique animé par la protection de sa communauté ? Peut-être un peu de tout cela à la fois ».Le quotidien Aujourd'hui au Burkina s'intéresse, lui, à Corneille Nanga, le président de l'AFC, l'Alliance fleuve Congo, alliée au M23. « Personne n'aurait parié en 2015, lorsque Corneille Nanga, président de la CENI congolaise proclamait les résultats des élections générales qu'une dizaine d'années plus tard, il se transformerait en rebelle, pour fonder l'Alliance fleuve Congo ? On ne sait pas ce qui s'est passé entre lui et Félix Tshisekedi mais à l'évidence, une brouille devenue rancune tenace est née entre les deux hommes. En tout cas, allié au M23, Corneille Nanga ne fait pas mystère de vouloir faire tomber Félix Tshisekedi ».Kagame dans le sillage de Poutine ?Pour le chercheur Thierry Vircoulon, interrogé par Afrikarabia, site spécialisé sur la RDC, « Paul Kagamé semble dans un moment poutinien… (…) Le but immédiat du M23 (piloté par Kigali) est de forcer le gouvernement congolais à négocier. Mais une négociation pour quoi ? Certainement pas pour que le M23 puisse réintégrer l'armée congolaise comme cela avait été le cas après la crise de 2008, affirme Thierry Vircoulon. Une négociation entre le gouvernement congolais et le M23 viserait à conférer à ce mouvement armé le contrôle territorial d'une partie du Nord-Kivu a minima. Cela permettrait, précise le chercheur, l'officialisation des gains territoriaux du M23 depuis 2022 et équivaudrait à une annexion officieuse par le Rwanda. Le Nord-Kivu (ou en tout cas une partie de cette province) deviendrait ainsi un Donbass rwandais ».Et, souligne encore Thierry Vircoulon, « le renversement de Félix Tshisekedi n'est pas exclu dans cette stratégie si celui-ci continue à s'opposer à cette volonté d'annexion. Pour ce faire, Kigali semble avoir ressorti des poubelles de l'histoire la vieille stratégie du paravent politique congolais : l'Alliance du Fleuve Congo est le nouvel avatar du Rassemblement Congolais pour la Démocratie (le RCD qui avait pris les armes contre le président congolais Laurent-Désiré Kabila à la fin des années 90).

//The Wire//2300Z January 29, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: CONFLICT CONTINUES TO ESCALATE IN THE DRC. PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCES PLAN TO SEND ILLEGALS TO GITMO. F-35 CRASHES IN ALASKA, PILOT UNHARMED.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC): Rioting continues throughout Kinshasa as the rebel advance in the east becomes more solidified. Overnight, M23 rebels consolidated control of Goma on the eastern border of the DRC, with some reports indicating further advances being planned. South of Kivu Lake, another axis of advance has possibly opened up, as locals report M23 forces in the vicinity of Bukavu. In the west, factional violence has broken out in force.-HomeFront-Alaska: One F-35 aircraft assigned to the 354th Fighter Wing crashed at Eielson Air Force Base near Fairbanks yesterday afternoon. Video footage of the incident indicates that the pilot was able to eject before impact. No official statement has been released indicating the cause for the aviation mishap.Washington D.C. - President Trump announced plans to house captured illegal immigrants at the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, while deportation operations continue. AC: While not exactly a new plan (this idea was floated during Trump's campaign) this facility will reportedly house the most violent offenders, which are unable to be housed in the standard minimum-security detention facilities that most other illegal immigrants are housed in. This is probably an attempt to separate out the baddest-of-the-bad from the general population.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the DRC, various groups who oppose Rwanda (and the M23 rebels) have taken to the streets to attack any ally of their arch enemy. Since the capital of Kinshasa is located 1,000 miles from M23's advance (and thus nowhere near the warzone), those who oppose M23 have taken out their anger locally, in the form of attacking anyone who is aligned with Rwanda or the Tutsi ethnic group, such as international diplomatic missions in the DRC. Various government offices were also ransacked overnight as well. Other than the general call to evacuate, most diplomatic missions in Kinshasa have not really addressed the growing violence, or provided much information on the status of foreign nationals (or international humanitarian efforts) in the DRC.Of note, this afternoon the Rwandan Defense Forces social media account posted a statement regarding the capture of 280 Romanians who were allegedly acting as mercenaries for the DRC's armed forces. This somewhat innocent post is largely a de facto admission that the M23 "rebels" are really just mercenaries acting on behalf off Rwanda to invade the DRC. This has been known for some time, however the increasingly casual descriptions of this relationship must be noted as this has the potential to drag other nations into this fight at some point, if the "soft" invasion becomes more methodical or deliberate.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Few Westerners are paying attention to the fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Intense fighting has raged for days between the Hutu tribe and Tutsi tribe. Today, Rioters attacked several foreign embassies – including those of the US, France, and Belgium, demanding that Western governments aid the DR Congo to fight against the advance of M23 rebels. Over 400,000 people have fled their homes to escape the fighting in the streets.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

This week, Erin and Jake talked about the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has escalated with the rebel group M23 capturing the city of Goma. The roots of the conflict are complex, stemming from arbitrarily drawn African national borders by European colonizers. This has led to disputes between tribal and religious groups within the same country and is also a factor in the Rwandan genocide. The M23 group, formed to protect Tutsi people, has reignited violence in the resource-rich eastern DRC, leading to mass casualties and a humanitarian crisis, and prompting international calls for action. There are also reports that the fighting has caused water and electricity supplies to the city to be cut off.Then they moved to the US, where newly inaugurated President Trump signed a series of executive orders on immigration, including one that seeks to revoke birthright citizenship for children of undocumented parents and halting all refugee admissions. Trump has framed immigration as a national security issue, granting the president more unilateral power. The immigration policies led to a recent diplomatic breakdown between the US and Colombia over deported Colombians sent on military planes. The issue was resolved through diplomatic channels. Then, some financial news. A Chinese startup, DeepSeek, launched an AI chatbot at a fraction of the cost of its US competitors, sparking concern in the US tech and stock markets. DeepSeek says that it only needed $6 million to train their chatbot, compared to the $100 million needed to train ChatGPT. The AI model is comparable to the industry leaders in the US, on par with Google and OpenAI, and it has raised questions about the US's ability to keep up in this market, with Nvidia, a major processor manufacturer, seeing the largest single-day drop in market history. But while China has global ambitions for AI, their censorship standards may end up being the challenge that slows them down.Other global headlines from the week include Denmark bumping up military spending for the defense of Greenland after Trump's comments about taking it by force, the Serbian PM resigning after months of protests, and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko claiming victory in an election which was called a sham by Western governments. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he will cover the US contribution to the UN's climate body after Trump withdrew the US from the Paris agreement in his first day in office. Displaced Palestinians have begun returning to Northern Gaza, many of them to destroyed homes, and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz was marked on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Finally, Thailand has become the first country in SE Asia to recognize marriage equality for same-sex couples, with hundreds of couples getting married to celebrate.Stay With Me Here is an independent project, and all views and opinions expressed in this show, and in this writeup, represent our personal views and not that of any organization we're affiliated with. Erin Flanagan is a former U.S. Coast Guard intelligence officer and Agence France-Presse digital investigations journalist.Jacob Shropshire is an editorial intern at Worldcrunch and the managing editor of Peacock Media at the American University of Paris.

 Today's episode offers a powerful example of courage, peace, and forgiveness. Our story looks back thirty years, to one of the most violent periods in modern history — the genocide against the Tutsi — and to the resilience and wisdom of the Rwandan spirit and heart. On April 6, 1994, beautiful Rwanda, known as the Land of a Thousand Hills, became a hell on Earth. Between April and July 1994, hundreds of thousands of Rwandans were slaughtered in a horrifying frenzy of state-sponsored terror. Freddy Mutanguha, an ethnic Tutsi, was just eighteen years old when the genocide began. Today, Freddy shares the story of his unimaginable losses, the miracle of his survival, and his life's work nurturing peace, forgiveness, and reconciliation in his country and across the world.  Read the transcript of this episode Learn more about the Kigali Genocide Memorial and the Aegis Trust Subscribe to Stories of Impact wherever you listen to podcasts Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube Share your comments, questions and suggestions at info@storiesofimpact.org Supported by Templeton World Charity Foundation

The Rwandan Genocide, occurring between April-July 1994, was a devastating episode of mass violence in which nearly 1 million people were killed over a period of 100 days. Fueled by longstanding ethnic tensions, political power struggles, and a deep seated history of discrimination, the genocide saw members of the Tutsi ethnic group slaughtered indiscriminately by extremists of the Hutu ethnic group. Growing up amid this chaos, Christian Ntizimira, MD witnessed some of humanity's most horrific atrocities. Instead of turning away, however, he chose to enter medicine, a profession that would allow him to address the immense suffering he saw. Today, Dr. Ntizimira is a palliative care physician and the founder and executive director of the African Center for Research on End of Life Care. In this episode, Dr. Ntizimira joins us to share his personal experiences with the Rwandan Genocide, his journey to palliative medicine after initially exploring a career in surgery, what palliative care means to him, what it looks like to honor the dignity of a patient, how he advocates better access to palliative care and chronic illness care, and his unique approach to medicine rooted in “ubuntu,” a philosophy emphasizing the universal bond that connects all humanity that is best summarized by the phrase “I am because you are.”In this episode, you'll hear about: 2:45 - How Dr. Ntizimira's experience as a young person during the Rwandan Genocide inspired him to become a physician, and how he eventually found himself drawn to palliative care  14:25 - Dr. Ntizimira's distinction between “treating the disease” and “treating the person”20:22 - How Dr. Ntizimira teaches doctors to fully conceptualize patients as people instead of focusing only on their medical ailments 25:50 - The heart of palliative care that transcends cultures30:54 - The importance of presence in palliative care38:27 - What “reconciliation” means in Dr. Ntizimira's approach to palliative care 47:17 - “Ubuntu,” an African philosophy emphasizing a shared connection among humans, and how it can revolutionize how we care for patients    Dr. Christian Ntizimira is the author of The Safari Concept: An African Framework for End of Life Care.Dr. Christian Ntizimira can be found on Twitter/X at @ntizimira.Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In 1994, Drocella Mugorewera was a young mother when Ethnic tensions between Hutu's and Tutsi's rooted in colonial divisions boiled over and led to a horrific genocide in Rwanda that cost up to one million lives. Drocella fled to the comparative safety of the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo before returning home determined to mold a better society in Rwanda.  She quickly became a government minister focused on forging an inclusive and peaceful society from the ashes of horrific events. But, her hopes for the future were largely unfulfilled as the increasingly authoritarian regime of Paul Kagame meant political dissent could no longer be tolerated. Fearing for her life, Drocella fled her homeland once again before finding refuge in the USA. There, she established herself as a campaigner for the rights of women, refugees, and an advocate for diversity. Ironically, as a young woman she earned a scholarship to study in the Ukraine -- another country now devastated by war.  Having seen the horrors of divisive politics. She is an inspirational figure full of hope and the desire for peace. In this episode I discuss her work as a diversity consultant. Her feelings about Rwanda, Ukraine, and war and conflict in general. A truly faith filled woman who somehow remains positive about he future despite seeing the worst of humanity.

Warning: This episode contains some upsetting descriptions of human suffering.The Rwandan Genocide is a dark and pivotal moment in modern history; the catastrophic consequence of ethnic division and global inaction. Over 100 days in 1994, it's estimated around 800,000 predominantly Tutsi people were killed by the Hutu government and civilian militiamen. The groundwork for the atrocities had been laid decades earlier by the colonial Belgian powers that controlled Rwanda and sowed the seeds of division into the fabric of the country.Dan is joined by Dr Scott Straus, a professor of Political Science at UC Berkeley who unpacks the events and years that led up to the genocide as well as the inaction from the international community during it. Dan also hears from survivor Beatha Uwazaninka who was just a teenager when her entire family were killed and describes how neighbours turned on neighbours as she struggled to evade capture herself. Together they explain how and why the genocide happened and what lessons we should learn from it.Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal Patmore.Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.

Kate Adie introduces stories from Rwanda, Estonia, St Helena and Puerto Rico.This weekend marks the start of the genocide in Rwanda that led to the death of more than 800,000 people – most from the country's Tutsi minority. Three decades on, Emma Ailes met those who, against the odds, survived the violence – but continue to live with the trauma to this day.Among those who survived the genocide is the BBC's Victoria Uwonkunda, who was just 12 years old at the time. She recently returned for the first time in three decades, where she retraced her journey to sanctuary, and spoke to genocide survivors - and perpetrators - about the difficult path towards reconciliation and forgiveness.As a result of the conflict in Ukraine, NATO countries close to Russia, such as Norway, Latvia and Lithuania, are expanding their military conscription programmes. In Estonia - where military service is already mandatory – our correspondent Nick Beake met some of the country's new recruits.Coffee from Jamaica to Ethiopia to Guatemala is a common sight in high-street cafes, but a more rarified blend comes from the Atlantic Island of St Helena. It's high-quality and short-supply means it fetches a high price – but as Mark Stratton discovered, that doesn't mean locals are reaping the benefits.It's hard to escape the Puerto Rican sound of reggaeton. Now a global phenomenon, it's created superstars in artists like Bad Bunny, Daddy Yankee and Vico C. Jane Chambers went to find out how this multi-faceted music reflects both the island's culture – and politics.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Production Coordinator: Katie Morrison Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

Almost one million people murdered in just one hundred days. It seems unfathomable, but that was the reality in Rwanda back in 1994 when militias and civilians from the country's majority ethnic group, the Hutus, killed their Tutsi neighbors. Thirty years on, we take a look back at one of Christiane's reports from 2008, when she returned to Rwanda to speak with some of those who have managed to find forgiveness since the genocide.  Also on today's show: Rwandan Human Rights Activist Paul Rusesabagina; author Sarah McCammon (“The Exvangelicals")  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we talk about the Rwandan genocide, the First and Second Congo Wars, and M23.We also discuss civil wars, proxy conflicts, and resource curses.Recommended Book: Everyday Utopia by Kristen R. GhodseeTranscriptThe Democratic Republic of the Congo, or DRC, was previously known as Zaïre, a name derived from a Portuguese mistranscription of the regional word for "river."It wore that monicker from 1971 until 1997, and this region had a rich history of redesignations before that, having been owned by various local kingdoms, then having been colonized by Europeans, sold to the King of Belgium in 1885, who owned it personally, not as a part of Belgium, which was unusual, until 1908, renaming it for that period the Congo Free State, which was kind of a branding exercise to convince all the Europeans who held territory thereabouts that he was doing philanthropic work, though while he did go to war with local and Arab slavers in the region, he also caused an estimated millions of deaths due to all that conflict, due to starvation and disease and punishments levied against people who failed to produce sufficient volumes of rubber from plantations he built in the region.So all that effort and rebranding also almost bankrupted him, the King of Belgium, because of the difficulties operating in this area, even when you step into it with vast wealth, overwhelming technological and military advantages, and the full backing of a powerful, if distant, nation.After the King's deadly little adventure, the region he held was ceded to the nation of Belgium as a colony, which renamed it the Belgium Congo, and it eventually gained independence from Belgium, alongside many other European colonies around the world, post-WWII, in mid-1960.Almost immediately there was conflict, a bunch of secessionist movements turning into civil wars, and those civil wars were amplified by the meddling of the United States and the Soviet Union, which supported different sides, funding and arming them as they tended to do in proxy conflicts around the world during this portion of the Cold War.This period, which lasted for about 5 years after independence, became known as the Congo Crisis, because government leaders kept being assassinated, different groups kept rising up, being armed, killing off other groups, and then settling in to keep the government from unifying or operating with any sense of security or normalcy.Eventually a man named Mobutu Sese Seko, usually just called Mobutu, launched a real deal coup that succeeded, and he imposed a hardcore military dictatorship on the country—his second coup, actually, but the previous one didn't grant him power, so he tried again a few years later, in 1965, and that one worked—and though he claimed, as many coup-launching military dictators do, that he would stabilize things over the next five years, restoring democracy to the country in the process, that never happened, though claiming he would did earn him the support of the US and other Western governments for the duration, even as he wiped out any government structure that could oppose him, including the position of Prime Minister in 1966, and the institution of Parliament in 1967.In 1971, as I mentioned, he renamed the country Zaïre, nationalized all remaining foreign owned assets in the country, and it took another war, which is now called the First Congo War, to finally unseat him. And this conflict, which began in late-1996, spilled over into neighboring countries, including Sudan and Uganda, and a slew of other nations were involved, including but not limited to Chad, the Central African Republic, Rwanda, Burundi, Angola, Eritrea, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, and Tanzania, alongside foreign assistance granted to various sides by France, China, Israel, and covertly, the United States.The conflict kicked off when Rwanda invaded Zaïre, more neighboring states joined in, all of them intending to take out a bunch of rebel groups that the Mobutu government was no longer keeping in line: Mobutu himself having long since fallen ill, and thus lacking the control he once had, but still profiting mightily from outside influences that kept him as a friendly toehold in the region.So these other nations sent military forces into Zaïre to handle these groups, which were causing untold troubles throughout the region, and the long and short of this conflict is that it only lasted a few months, from October 1996 to May 1997, but the destruction and carnage was vast, everyone on both sides partnering up to take out rebels, or in the case of those rebels, to join up against these government militaries, and all of them using the opportunity to also engage in violence against ethnic enemies with whom they had long-simmering beefs.This led to the collapse of Mobutu's government, the country was renamed the Democratic Republic of the Congo when a new government was installed, but very little changed in terms of the reality of how that government functioned, so all the same variables were still in place a year later, in 1998, when what's now called the Second Congo War kicked off, informed by basically the same problems but bringing even more African governments into the fighting, many of them pulled into things by alliances they had with involved neighbors.And just as before, a variety of groups who felt aggrieved by other groups throughout the region used this conflict as an excuse to slaughter and destroy people and towns they didn't like, including what's been called a genocide of a group of Pygmy people who lived in the area, around 70,000 of them killed in the waning days of the war.In mid-2003, a peace agreement was signed, most of the warring factions that had fought in Congolese territory were convinced to leave, and it was estimated that up to 5.4 million people had died during the conflict.What I'd like to talk about today is what's happening in the DRC, now, at a moment of heightening tensions throughout the region, and in the DRC in particular, amidst warnings from experts that another regional conflict might be brewing.—A transition government was set up in the DRC in 2003, following the official end of that Second Congo war, and this government, though somewhat weak and absolutely imperfect in many ways, did manage to get the country to the point, three years later, in 2006, that it could hold an actual multi-party election; the country's first ever, which is no small thing.Unfortunately, a dispute related to the election results led to violence between supporters of the two primary candidates, so a second election was held—and that one ended relatively peacefully and a new president, Joseph Kabila, was sworn in.Kabila was reelected in 2011, then in 2018 he said he wouldn't be running again, which helped bring about the country's first peaceful transition of power when the next president, from the opposing party, stepped into office.During his tenure in office, though, Kabila's DRC was at near-constant war with rebel groups that semi-regularly managed to capture territory, and which were often supported by neighboring countries, alongside smaller groups, so-called Mai-Mai militias, that were established in mostly rural areas to protect residents from roaming gangs and other militias, and which sometimes decided to take other people's stuff or territory, even facing off with government forces from time to time.Violence between ethnic groups has also continued to be a problem, including the use of sexual violence and wholesale attempted genocide, which has been difficult to stop because of the depth of some of the issues these groups have with each other, and in some cases the difficulty the government has just getting to the places where these conflicts are occurring, infrastructure in some parts of the country being not great, where it exists at all.That 2018 election, where power was given away by one president to another, peacefully, for the first time, was notable in that regard, but it was also a milestone in it marked the beginning of widespread anti-election conspiracy theories, in that case the Catholic Church saying that the official results were bunk, and other irregularities, like a delay of the vote in areas experiencing Ebola outbreaks, those areas in many cases filled with opposition voters, added to suspicions.The most recent election, at the tail-end of 2023, was even more awash with such concerns, the 2018 winner, President Tshisekedi, winning reelection with 73% of the vote, and a cadre of nine opposition candidates signing a declaration saying that the election was rigged and that they want another vote to be held.All of which establishes the context for what's happening in the DRC, today, which is in some ways a continuation of what's been happening in this country pretty much since it became a country, but in other ways is an escalation and evolution of the same.One of the big focal points here, though, is the role that neighboring Rwanda has played in a lot of what's gone down in the DRC, including the issues we're seeing in 2024.Back in 1994, during what became known as the Rwandan genocide, militias from the ruling majority Hutu ethnic group decided to basically wipe out anyone from the minority Tutsi ethnic group.Somewhere between a 500,000 and a million people are estimated to have been killed between April and July of that year, alone, and that conflict pushed a lot of Hutu refugees across the border into the eastern DRC, which at the time was still Zaïre.About 2 million of these refugees settled in camps in the North and South Kivu provinces of the DRC, and some of them were the same extremists who committed that genocide in Rwanda in 1994, and they started doing what they do in the DRC, as well, setting up militias, in this case mostly in order to defend themselves against the new Tutsi-run government that had taken over in Rwanda, following the genocide.This is what sparked that First Congo War, as the Tutsi-run Rwandan government, seeking justice and revenge against those who committed all those atrocities went on the hunt for any Hutu extremists they could find, and that meant invading a neighboring country in order to hit those refugee groups, and the militias within them, that had set up shop there.The Second Congo War was sparked when relations between the Congolese and Rwandan governments deteriorated, the DRC government pushing Rwandan troops out of the eastern part of their country, and Kabila, the leader of the DRC at the time, asking everyone else to leave, all foreign troops that were helping with those Hutu militias.Kabila then allowed the Hutus to reinforce their positions on the border with Rwanda, seemingly as a consequence of a burgeoning international consensus that the Rwandan government's actions following the genocide against the Tutsis had resulted in an overcompensatory counter-move against Hutus, many of whom were not involved in that genocide, and the Tutsis actions in this regard amounted to war crimes.One of the outcomes of this conflict, that second war, was the emergence of a mostly Tutsi rebel group called the March 23 Movement, or M23, which eventually became a huge force in the region in the early 20-teens, amidst accusations that the Congolese government was backing them.M23 became such an issue for the region that the UN Security Council actually sent troops into the area to work with the Congolese army to fend them off, after they made moves to start taking over chunks of the country, and evidence subsequently emerged that Rwanda was supporting the group and their effort to screw over the Congolese government, which certainly didn't help the two countries' relationship.Alongside M23, ADF, and CODECO, a slew of more than 100 other armed, rebel groups still plague portions of the DRC, and part of the issue here is that Rwanda and other neighboring countries that don't like the DRC want to hurt them to whatever degree they're able, but another aspect of this seemingly perpetual tumult is the DRC's staggering natural resource wealth.Based on some estimates, the DRC has something like $24 trillion worth of natural resource deposits, including the world's largest cobalt and coltan reserves, two metals that are fundamental to the creation of things like batteries and other aspects of the modern economy, and perhaps especially the modern electrified economy.So in some ways this is similar to having the world's largest oil deposits back in the early 20th century: it's great in a way, but it's also a resource curse in the sense that everyone wants to steal your land, and in the sense that setting up a functioning government that isn't a total kleptocracy, corrupt top to bottom, is difficult, because there's so much wealth just sitting there, and there's no real need to invest in a fully fleshed out, functioning economy—you can just take the money other countries offer you to exploit your people and resources, and pocket that.And while that's not 100% what's happened in the DRC, it's not far off.During the early 2000s and into the 20-teens, the DRC government sold essentially all its mining rights to China, which has put China in control of the lion's share of some of the world's most vital elements for modern technology.The scramble to strike these deals, and subsequent efforts to defend and stabilize on one hand, or to attack and destabilize these mining operations, on the other, have also contributed to instability in the region, because local groups have been paid and armed to defend or attack, soldiers and mercenaries from all over the world have been moved into the area to do the same, and the logic of Cold War-era proxy conflicts has enveloped this part of Africa to such a degree that rival nations like Uganda are buying drones and artillery from China to strike targets within the DRC, even as China arms DRC-based rebel groups to back up official military forces that are protecting their mining operations.It's a mess. And it's a mess because of all those historical conditions and beefs, because of conflicts in other, nearby countries and the machinations of internal and external leaders, and because of the amplification of all these things resulting from international players with interests in the DRC—including China, but also China's rivals, all of whom want what they have, and in some cases, don't want China to have what they have.In 2022, M23 resurfaced after laying low for years, and they took a huge chunk of North Kivu in 2023.For moment that same year, it looked like Rwanda and the DRC might go to war with each other over mining interests they control in the DRC, but a pact negotiated by the US led to a reduction in the military buildup in the area, and a reduction in their messing with each other's political systems.In December of 2023, though, the President of the DRC compared the President of Rwanda to Hitler and threatened to declare war against him, and UN troops, who have become incredibly unpopular in the region, in part because of various scandals and corruption within their ranks, began to withdraw—something that the US and UN have said could lead to a power vacuum in the area, sparking new conflicts in an already conflict-prone part of the country.As of March 2024, soldiers from South Africa, Burundi, and Tanzania are fighting soldiers from Rwanda who are supporting M23 militants in the eastern portion of the DRC, these militants already having taken several towns.Seven million Congolese citizens are internally displaced as a result of these conflicts, having had to flee their homes due to all the violence, most of them now living in camps or wandering from place to place, unable to settle down anywhere due to other violence, and a lack of sufficient resources to support them.Rwanda, for its part, denies supporting M23, and it says the Congolese government is trying to expel Tutsis who live in the DRC.Burundi, located just south of Rwanda, has closed its border with its neighbor, and has also accused Rwanda of supporting rebels within their borders with the intent of overthrowing the government.Most western governments have voiced criticisms of Rwanda for deploying troops within its neighbors' borders, and for reportedly supporting these militant groups, but they continue to send the Rwandan government money—Rwanda gets about a third of its total budget from other governments, and the US is at the top of that list of donors, but the EU also sends millions to Rwanda each year, mostly to fund military actions aimed at taking out militants that make it hard to do business in the region.So changes in political stances are contributing to this cycle of violence and instability, as are regular injections of outside resources like money and weapons and soldiers.And as this swirl of forces continues to make the DRC borderline ungovernable, everyday people continue to be butchered and displaced, experiencing all sorts of violence, food shortages, and a lack of basic necessities like water, and this ongoing and burgeoning humanitarian nightmare could go on to inform and spark future conflicts in the region.Show Noteshttps://archive.ph/lk0mNhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kabilahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_genocidehttps://gsphub.eu/country-info/Democratic%20Republic%20of%20Congohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_Democratic_Republic_of_the_Congohttps://www.reuters.com/world/africa/why-fighting-is-flaring-eastern-congo-threatening-regional-stability-2024-02-19/https://archive.ph/lk0mNhttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/2/21/a-guide-to-the-decades-long-conflict-in-dr-congohttps://www.cfr.org/global-conflict-tracker/conflict/violence-democratic-republic-congohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_23_Movementhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kivu_conflicthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congo_Free_Statehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobutu_Sese_Sekohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congo_Crisishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1965_Democratic_Republic_of_the_Congo_coup_d%27%C3%A9tathttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Congo_Warhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Congo_War This is a public episode.

How large is your capacity for forgiveness? Author and motivational speaker Immaculée Ilibagiza grew up in a small village in Rwanda, Africa. With her loving parents and three brothers, Immaculée excelled in school and eventually went on to study electrical and mechanical engineering at the National University of Rwanda. However, her life took a dramatic turn in 1994.  On April 6 of that year, the assassination of the Rwandan President ignited months of massacres targeting Tutsi tribe members across the country. To protect his daughter from rape and murder, Immaculée's father instructed her to seek refuge at a local pastor's house. There, she hid with seven other women in a cramped 3 x 4-foot bathroom for the next 91 days. Amidst the genocide raging outside, Immaculée battled anger and resentment, which threatened to consume her mind, body, and spirit. It was in this desperate state that she turned to prayer, clutching a set of rosary beads her father had given her. Through prayer and faith, she found the strength to resist hate, even using this dark time to teach herself English using only a Bible and a dictionary.  Emerging from her hiding place after 91 days, Immaculée faced a harrowing reality—her entire family, except for one brother studying abroad, had been brutally murdered. She also discovered the massacre of nearly one million extended family members, friends, neighbors, and fellow Rwandans. Despite unimaginable suffering, Immaculée shocked the world by forgiving the man who had killed her mother and brother.  Immaculée Ilibagiza's story offers profound insights and actionable steps to strengthen emotional resilience, release burdens through forgiveness, and contribute to a greater shift in collective consciousness. To share Immaculée's message of healing and forgiveness, Sage and Tony Robbins are honored to present this powerful moment from a private event with their Platinum Partners in Mexico.
