Where are people from 2

I do, occasionally, look at sites of origin, and regardless of how people find the webpage or why they land on it - Rwanda is now the most impressive site of origin. Kenya, UAE, Nepal follow after, as impressive, but Rwanda sticks out. Why?

It reminds me, each time I see the name, of my role in what happened, of what I failed to care about in April, May, June, or July of 1994. It reminds me of what the world failed to do. It is a blistering abscess on all of our faces that will not go away, no matter how much we try to do - or feign doing.

It is an indictment of the West and all it stands for, or believes that it stands for. It is the indictment, judgment, and sentence of a UN that knew and failed to act.








So why do we not look at Sudan with knowing eyes and instead choose to pretend it is something else.
