  • čas přidán 4. 08. 2024
  • Clemantine Wamariya was six years old when the Rwandan Civil War forced her and her sister to flee their home in Kigali, leaving their parents and everything they knew behind. In this deeply personal talk, she tells the story of how she became a refugee, living in camps in seven countries over the next six years -- and how she's tried to make sense of what came after.

    She gave me chills. I also lost my parents during that same genocide. I am so numb about it. I wouldn't know what to say. I have decided never to make it part of the stories i share with the world. I applaud her courage.

      Europe Ruined the black continent of Africa. they drew boundaries on a continent without even looking at the cultures and different unique tribes and people. The European countries divided the Land in the black continent of africa like it was a Pizza plate. Each took their own to eat. EUROPE AND ITS DESCENDANTS RUINED THE BLACK CONTINENT OF AFRICA THROUGH COLONIALISM, SLAVERY, ANT THE TAKING OF OUR RESOURCES WHICH ARE STILL BEING TAKEN TODAY. AFRICAN COUNTRIES ARE IN MODERN SLAVERY TO EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, ESPECIALLY FRANCE. THE EUROPEANS ARE THE ONES WHO INVADED AND DESTROYED THE GREAT MALLIAN EMPIRE AND MASSA MOUSA. EUROPEANS NEED TO STOP DENYING WHAT EUROPE HAS DONE TO THE BLACK CONTINENT OF AFRICA. PEOPLE AND EUROPEANS AND THEIR DESCENDANTS NEED TO STOP DENYING THE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY THAT EUROPEANS HAS DONE TO THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA AND BLACK PEOPLE AS A WHOLE. GOD IS A JUST GOD. GOD WILL JUDGE THESE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES INCLUDING USA FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO THE BLACK CONTINENT OF AFRICA. IN YESHUA S MIGHTY NAME. I THANK YOU TAKING, THE TIME TO READ MY COMMENT.

    The saddest part is people do understand destruction and its many noises. We all know what it is what it can do we have words for all of it. Same with mutual destruction. Its very much in our nature to destroy each other even without the struggle of survival driving us.
    It's great though to remind whoever you can that war and dehumanization is still very much real no matter how much religious or governmental justification it may have. It just sucks that we have literally centuries of recorded history of geonicide, war, rape and death in the millions and we still don't learn (although we are in the biggest time of peace for our species in history, should be accounted for)

Every time any thing inters your body against your will it is raping you. As a family, as a body, humanity as whole, has bin raping each other way to long. Killing for what ever cause to have a reason to kill, penetrating unwilling participants, raping with there bullets.

    What she described and experienced did not begin in the first world war. The Armenian genocide preceded it.
    Yet WW1planted the seeds from which WW11 sprang from. And that war planted seeds of hate and revenge that led to numerous conflicts that would come later such as Vietnam, Korean War and numerous other ones. In fact, some historians believe that even to this day, the world has not recovered from WW1.

  • @vorlonagent
    @vorlonagent Před 6 lety +5

    If you feel the impulse to hate when you hear "Trump" or "liberal", remember this talk. That hate, taken just a few steps further plus government power, is all that's needed for genocide.
    This is why Antifa's attack on neo-nazis and klansman in Charottesville was so very concerning. Antifa put on display the sort of hate that makes for genocide. It doesn't matter that they attacked other people who might also feel that same depth of hate.
    Nitpick that this talk is terribly misnamed. War and genocide aren't the same thing.

So if you decide to make it specific atleast have some "real" reason, like the talks would be more less useless to anyone outside of the group. Women dont "need" to know the thermodinamic property of foreskin or male hornonal cyckle (generaly) so those talks should/can be on ted men but genocide have no gender or race or age ect.

      @drditup Před 6 lety +2

      History has absolutely proven her point about wars. It's her point about words I don't agree with.
      The whole words-thing is loosely tied to her speech. It's as if meaning of words was added to her talk afterwards to make it sound philosophilcal, but it fails to do so. "genocide" is a dehumanizing word? "Other" can cause destruction under some circumstances?? I disagree, and since she provided nothing more to it, the argument ends there. Surely I do not understand war, but I think her whole point is wrong. Having those words help us live together. On a more metaphorical level, using those words is not the root to a problem, just results from them.
