On
this anniversary day, twenty years after the beginning of genocide in Rwanda, as
we remember those terrible events and the hundreds of thousands of victims, we
seem to forget that we have a similar situation in the Central African Republic.
It is true the numbers are not as high, but the hatred between communities and
the killing of innocents, of one´s neighbours, just because they look a bit different
or dress in a way that shows their religious beliefs, are very similar to what
happened in Rwanda. And once again, we
prefer to remember the past and ignore the deep challenges of the present.
