Agadez, Niger, men gathered outside the mosque. Panning view of the walled town and its mud buildings. Dusty streets and local Tuareg and Berber people walking past. A group of people are pounding grain in mortars. A different view of the Grand Mosque in Agadez. A busy market with goods laid out on woven mats on the sandy ground. Tiny huts with laundry hanging outside. The walls of the city in the background. It is very windy and peoples’ long clothes billow. View over the walled compounds, it looks like a dust storm is blowing in. The mosque again. Pack animals laden with produce in a wide dusty street. Back to the market and excellent footage of local people trading, colourful dress and people going about their normal business ignoring the camera. Possibly small livestock market with goats. Tethered camels. Women carrying babies on their backs. One of the tourists buys fruit at a stall. The streets of Agadez and more pounding grain. Tuareg men stand around at the camel market.

Niger. A Szaharát átszelő évszázados karavánúton még ma is 3-4 napig tart az utazás. Különösen, ha az utazónak bújkálnia kell a banditák és a rendőrök elől, ha vezetői kidobják a homoktenger közepén, vagy ha útközben elfogy a vize. Elutaztam a világ egyik legszegényebb országába, Nigerbe, ahol összegyűlik mindenki, aki Afrikából Európába akar jutni. Találkoztunk embercsempésszel, eljutottunk a migránsok titkos gettójába, és mi is nekivágtunk a sivatagi útnak. A kalandok végén nagyon más világ rajzolódott ki, mint amit a populista politikusok Afrikáról vagy a migrációról szoktak mondani.

The 1994 Rwanda genocide was a horrifying and tragic event that occurred in the African country of Rwanda. It was characterized by a systematic and coordinated campaign of violence and mass killings targeting the Tutsi ethnic minority, as well as moderate Hutus who opposed the extremist agenda. The genocide lasted approximately 100 days, from April to July 1994.

The roots of the conflict can be traced back to Rwanda's colonial history, where the Belgians favored the Tutsis over the Hutus, exacerbating existing ethnic tensions. After Rwanda gained independence in 1962, political struggles between the two groups continued, leading to periodic outbreaks of violence.

In 1994, the assassination of Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, served as a catalyst for the genocide. Extremist Hutu militias, primarily the Interahamwe and the Impuzamugambi, began a planned campaign of violence and genocide against the Tutsi population. Radio stations, newspapers, and other media outlets were used to spread propaganda and incite hatred against the Tutsis, referring to them as "cockroaches" that needed to be exterminated.

During the genocide, an estimated 500,000 to 1 million Tutsis, as well as some moderate Hutus, were brutally killed. The killings were carried out by machetes, firearms, and other crude weapons, and many victims were also subjected to rape, torture, and other forms of extreme violence.

The international response to the genocide was widely criticized for its failure to intervene and prevent the mass atrocities. Despite the mounting evidence of the genocide unfolding, the United Nations and the international community did not take decisive action to stop the killings. The situation was compounded by the withdrawal of UN peacekeeping forces, which significantly diminished the chances of intervention.

Perceptions of genocide varied around the world. Many countries and individuals were shocked and horrified by the scale of the atrocities and the inaction of the international community. There were also significant debates and discussions about why the genocide occurred and how it could have been prevented.

In the aftermath of the genocide, Rwanda faced immense challenges in rebuilding and reconciling its society. Efforts were made to bring perpetrators to justice, both through international tribunals and domestic courts, and to support survivors and victims' families. Rwanda has since made significant progress in its recovery, though the scars of the genocide still linger, and reconciliation remains an ongoing process. The international community also reflected on its failure to respond effectively to the crisis, leading to discussions on the importance of early intervention in preventing such atrocities in the future.
