Memorial to Victims of Rwanda Genocide
This page is a very
humble memorial to the thousands of people who died due to tribalism in
Rwanda in 1994. In 1994, many
Rwandans of the Tutsi tribe were killed. Estimates run as high
as 800,000 people killed in about a 100 day period of time.
Tribalism and racism can be very evil. The tragedy in Rwanda
illustrates how evil hatred can be. The history of tribalism,
ethnic tensions and racism can be very deep. The need to
understand history, various perspectives of history and the ability to
forgive are essential when there are tensions between groups of people.
