Random Liberals

We are random liberals (who knew?). Collectively, we make up the greatest blog in the history of ourselves. We will blog about anything that suits us; mostly politics, with a little bit of religion and randomness to make the blog exciting.

Rwanda

Yesterday marked the 10th anniversary of the assasination of the Rwandan president, whose plane was shot down. The next day, April 7, 1994, extremist Hutus began the genocide of Tutsis and moderate Hutus. 800,000 people died in 100 days.

Think about that. 8,000 people per day, slaughtered. To me, that's unimaginable.

Yesterday, I heard a one-hour radio program on NPR produced by American Radio Works and PBS's Frontline called The Few Who Stayed: Defying Genocide in Rwanda. Their website can be found here. Take a look at the site, and learn about this unspeakable crime.
