Forgiveness is all you have when you suffer crimes...either that or die a bitter vine on a soured root...oppressors may take your life...but it is up to you to give them your Soul and if you can't Forgive whether you are dead or alive you've given them your Soul. That was something I couldn't live with. But I will admit it took a while...I dreamt about committing murder many times, making my oppressor the oppressed until one time I woke up and realized 1.) that I had actually been dreaming of murdering someone and 2.) I realized I had been having this dream over and over and had never realized it and 3.) how evil my dream was...(and I do mean evil I literally saw myself in the dream as some sort of "Regan" possessed. That's right from "The Exorcist" movie THAT Regan...and my head did a full 365 and my evil self looked at me straight in the eye just before I pulled the trigger on the gun I was holding in my dream...woke me right up. Had that dream for years before I actually knew I was dreaming it over and over. Never dreamt it afterwards. It spooks me to this day just thinking about it. But it was a clear message. G*d was not messing around. I either forgave...or, I was "Regan" it was just THAT clear. Do you see what had happened to my Soul, my soured and embittered Soul...as John Lennon once sang "I just had to let it go..." Forgiveness is NEVER about "them" the oppressor it is about surviving the pain of what they do to us...Forgiveness is/was about me and every survivor. People think it is generosity. Kindness, sure, but it's much deeper than that. It's pure survival. Pure greed in a sense...the greed that says the choice of LIFE is better than the choice of Death.

I am not sure if you live in Rwanda or go there/have been there so forgive me if I am telling you something you already know, but my father is a Rwandese Tutsi from Gisenyi who survived, and when I have gone a couple of times in my life to visit I noticed every morning wherever we went (Kigali, Gisenyi, Butare) there were 100's if not 1000's of men in orange (some pink) jumpsuits cleaning up the streets and maintaining the city. I asked my father what it was, as I had never seen prisoners cleaning cities in any other country, under what seemed to be little supervision and so openly. He told me they were those convicted of Genocide, and this was the program established in order for them to repent and repay for the damage they inflicted on their own people and country as a whole. It struck me, that not only was this a thing, but that the way my father spoke about it was with complete forgiveness, and clearly the public shared this view as no one was treating these prisoners any differently or even looking at them with anger/disdain/hurt (it had been said before but I think I was too young to really understand how profound that is). History usually tells a different story; there is typically revenge and a violent counter-reaction. I asked him if he ever met Hutus/other extremists/genocide perpetrators that he suspected actually managed to avoid conviction for their crimes (many fled abroad much like the victims, and have settled all over), and he told me he had, and I asked him if he was angry about it and he said "it is very difficult, but we were all told from the beginning and have understood that forgiveness is the only way we can all heal". It is really cool to see you observed the same thing, and I hope you and your family are well.

I think that seeing the suffrage of people. Especially people that looks like you makes you more empathetic. Our minds may not want to be, but our hearts know and understand what that kind of suffering does/can do to other people. Showing empathy outwardly, is somewhat of a cathartic action. When someone that has experienced extreme trauma doesn’t show that empathy, that doesn’t make them bad or different, they may truly suffer inwardly.

The hole of small children being set on fire to burn all of them alive must be one of the worst things I've ever heard.

Dutch and German divide and conquer colonial strategies set these once peaceful cohabitating ethnic groups at each other's neck from colonial rule to the point of that genocide. I'm not trying to lay blame on European foreigners but it sounded like you wanted to know the origins of this sad history

Yes, Rwanda was another nasty case of Us vs Them…Jared Diamond in a comprehensive historical undertaking writes about, COLLAPSE, HOW SOCIETIES CHOOSE TO FAIL OR SUCCEED. When addressing the conditions in Rwanda pre-genocide, Professor Diamond expounds on multiple aggravating circumstances, one being high density population. Quote: “…population and environmental problems created by non-sustainable resource use will ultimately get solved in one way or another: if not by pleasant means of our own choice, then by unpleasant and unchosen means…”. The world population in 1994 was 5.66 billion; world population as of end of 2023 was 8.04 billion and rising. When population increases dramatically, availability of resources becomes a survival issue that the poorly educated cannot comprehend, nor address…so unfortunately, We the members of a community, revert to an Us vs Them mentally…Them being thought of as ‘cockroaches’…no disrespect to real cockroaches intended. It is literally only human primates that are destructive, invasive, exploitive, malicious, and murderous! And global population is still increasing - Just how smart are human primates, past and present, in every country? In the future, are We capable of comprehending the strain We put upon limited resources and actually adjust our innate primitive behaviours for the better of We the community!

People get taught...persuaded....brainwashed, call it what you wish, that the other guy is not human. That's how they cope with killing. She said they called her a cockroach. That's your clue. Easier to kill a vermin than a person. Happened many many times throughout history. I watched interviews with people from WW2 and that's how they coped. Americans didn't think the Japanese as people, Japanese considered Chinese to be "logs" rather than humans...Russians killing Germans and vise versa without remorse for the same reasons. I'm not justifying or defending anyone taking a life for any reason but that's just my take on it from purely psychological point of view.

In the sixties they probably did have a different way of, yet not nearly like this I think. It was bad and not as long ...this one was probably sixties planning too...whenever it was there was several ideas of debates within and a few elsewhere.

when the reporter asked, "how are you?" and she said, "i am alive" blew me away and moved me so much. after what she had endured, her answer was so full of hope and strength and resilience and this brief insight into her optimism despite the horrors she faced made me understand her gratitude for life, and ultimately her drive to continue living it because she's here, and she survived. and that is so empowering and so beautiful. i wish this woman everything good and everything she deserves and so much more. because she's here, and she's alive

I went to the genocide memorial when I visited Rwanda. Even the memorial couldn’t give the full picture. It was such an important experience but even as an outsider being there, I was on the brink of tears the whole two hours I was there. They have a room called the children’s room at the end. It’s basically a hallway with photos of these little children/infants. Under each photo it had their name, their age when they died, some of their favourite things (ice cream, football, their aunt, etc…) and then how they died. Most of them were beheaded by machetes or thrown repeatedly against walls until they died. There’s also an area called the three rooms. One of them has the clothes of some of the victims wore when they died. They were modern 90s clothes like adidas track pants and it just makes you realise how recent this all was. All the clothes were drenched in the blood of whoever wore them. The third room is the photos room. It’s got thousands of photos hung up by family members of survivors, of the loved ones that they lost. Anyone can go hang a photo. They’re all hung on clothe pins. The memorial tour starts with a video of survivors speaking about their experience during the genocide, some with machete scars on their heads from childhood. One of them only survived because they hit him so many times with one that they thought there was no way he was still alive. He then got up and dragged himself kilometres away to a hospital where a nurse took him in and protected him and paid off people to leave him alone. You then learn about the history of it all, from the pre-colonisation, to colonisation, to independence, to the genocide. It was a heartbreaking experience to go there but such an important one. The Rwandese will never forget what happened and they don’t want outsiders to either. They want us to learn from what happened there.

I think its very important to emphasize the genocide, in this form wouldn't have happened without the colonial powers of France, Germany and Belgium dividing the country for years and breeding hate between the parties for years. Hutu and Tutsi originally were 2 out of 3 classes, not particularly tribes. Only when the colonial powers took over and changed the whole legislature and political organisation, the division and differences between the groups became so crucial and ultimately led to the genocide.

She can forgive someone who killed her aunt and I'm here sitting on my comfortable chair can't even forgive someone who keeps trauma dumping on me. She's such a strong character and there are a lot of things I wish to learn from her.

Well you don't need to forgive them. It differs per person. For some people, forgiveness is their way of letting go. For many others, allowing themselves to grieve, accept that people suck, and let go is the way to freedom. No forgiveness is involved, cause just so you know, you do NOT need to forgive anyone. Especially people who commited literal genocide. Forgiveness is overrated, and at some point can become toxic when people have this idea that they HAVE to forgive their abusers or horrible people in their life, cause you dont. Many people never have forgiven horrible people, but have accepted that it happened and that they shouldn't hurt themselves more by allowing it to eat them alive, so they just try to let go and distance themselves. To each their own.

I thought trauma dumping was someone who tells others about their trauma…why would you be mad at someone for telling you their trauma I’m confused

The amount of emotional pain i felt just listening to this is crazy and to think how much more painful it must be to have gone through that is just unfathomable😭

i can’t imagine having to go through so much at such a young age. My heart goes out to this beautiful woman❤️❤️❤️

Can’t imagine how she stayed sane. May God give her all the best this life can offer.

@@killuminatikilla3235 Monsters do not deserve forgiveness there is no redemption for them and forgiving them as a means of coping with their atrocities is inhumane and unjust you are locking your emotions, reality, justice into a cage as a means of moving forward when in reality you left apart of yourself behind a part that should still be apart of you what more will you allow them to take from you. Situations like this are only magnified and worsened when the law, the justice system fails you and that monster that irredeemable monster still walks the streets with no repercussions.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I’m so sorry for your losses. I am happy you can move forward after all that you have been put through and seen. Thank you. Bless you

This is one of the most heartbreaking videos I have ever watched. I can’t even put it into words.

I read about the Rwandan hutu-tutsi genocide in sixth grade from a woman who lost her whole family. She only has her brother left, and it was a terribly vivid biography. It was the first time I had heard about it. It feels so wrong that so many of us Americans don't know what happened to them. Edit: I would really like it if the Americans and the non Americans in my replies stopped fighting over how we're either A. Assholes for not knowing or B. Not assholes because we should never care about anything outside of the us. Both your viewpoints are wrong, stop using my comment to be so ignorant and awful.

She lived within the privileged class. They had their boots on the necks of these people for tens of years! The hutu were enslaved by the tutsi- they treated them like the whites in South Africa and the whites in America treat all people of color... I zm not condoning how they dealt with it, but it had to be done...the tutsi were enjoying being the bosses, the masters, they took this to another level that would make the kkk look like Sunday school teachers!!! Try talking with Hutu people, then znd only then can you truly understand the reasoning behind the genocide

i had a friend in high school whose family had escaped to canada because of the rwanda genocide. her mother unfortunately passed away not long after they got here due to cancer. it was a devastating blow to their family. they were very well off in rwanda but when they got to canada and lost their mom, life got extremely hard for them for years. they’re back in rwanda now living an amazing life ❤
