Genocide
Genocide - Why does it happen and what can we do?
What is genocide?
The deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular nation or ethnic group. Also genocide means any of the following with the intent to destroy in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.
Why do you think that genocide happens?
To kill of a group of people perhaps to shut them up or wipe them out completely. To kill a culture or nation. They could also be caused by an underlying desire of revenge or because of fear, anger or an aggression towards a certain group of people.
Why did genocide happen in Rwanda?
The Rwandan genocide began with the “assassination” of Rwandan president Habyarimana in 1994 April 6. There was an estimated 1.17 million lives lost in a 100 day mass murder of the Hutu Tutsi army.
What do you think we can do to try and stop genocide happening?
If we act together we can compel our elected leaders to act on their responsibility to protect innocent men, women and children from brutal regimes.
Why do you think we should care about genocide and conflict in other parts of the world?
The less we act against genocide is our basic silent way of condoning it. Therefore if we want to eliminate genocide from happening until it eventually reaches our very own country and we have to face the consequences for not acting against it. Along with the genocide comes large sums of innocent people lose their lives, their children, mothers, father, aunts or uncles, grandparents. Imagine the fear and the pain that it would bring you if you lost your family like that, it would be a horrible way to go so why would you wish that on anybody else no matter where they are from or who they are.
