Anybody who has seen Hotel Rwanda and has paid attention to the various atrocities going on in Africa must be in disbelief that the United States has barely bothered to help. Women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are being gang **** in front of their husbands and children. In some cases the children are even forced to **** their own mother. This is partly due to the conflicts going on between the Hutu tribes that were forced out of Rwanda and the rebel forces that were assembled to fight them. And of course there was the **** in Rwanda. Women are being castrated. Somehow we can go into Iraq for no reason but we ignore these problems. Hopefully the G8 summit conference will help the solve these problems.

Unfortunately, a lot of these responses are based on what they get from the vast and various media... To no fault of our own.... Almost EVERY country in the motherland is enduring a SERIOUS violation of human rights and civil liberties that the UN and the US are doing nothing about... its only because we have no interests there... there is no **** or textile that we are in desperate need of... I mean... Africa has been stripped of far more than just her children, but her diamonds, her ****, her livestock, and her natural beauty... Until people REALLY make her a priority, change will not occur.. it is the simple rule of life... The important people have to care in order for everyone else to...

well, when Rwanda gained it's independence from Dutch control, the Dutch all left and just left the power to the Hutus, since they were the majority; and basically left the Tutsis to fend for themselves. so, the Hutus, then, took revenge for their past oppression and that's basically how mess started

If you grasped that from my post, then I apologize... What I meant to emphasize was the fact that THOUGH Africa has endured centuries of being FuKKED over, she is still thriving... Since the G8 and other wealthy conglomerates of nations feel the need to put their noses in other's business... I think that this is a wealthy enough effort for them to put in their money and SOME troops... theres a major difference between giving assistance and trying to make the nation another America... @Buttascotch.. I'm not saying that people shouldn't listen to the media, just to be fully mindful of who is controlling it, thus you can then interpret what you are seeing.. for example.. the case w/ the girl in Aruba.... if her @ss was a middle class black girl in the same dumbas$ position, her case would have been dropped a long time ago.. Lawd knows that thousands of americans have gotten **** in other countries, but they (media) handpick what you should be appalled at... I have problems with that...
