Mohamedou was a prisoner at Guantánamo Bay for 14 years. During his incarceration he was subjected to torture and solitary confinement, but never charged with a crime. His memoir, Guantánamo Diary, became an international bestseller and was adapted into the film, The Mauritanian, starring Tahar Rahim and Jodie Foster.

94 TERROR - Part 2 ; The 1994 Rwanda genocide
94 TERROR - Part 2 ; The 1994 Rwanda genocide Giftmajesty 1 Views • 5 months ago

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.

Avant le début du génocide perpétré contre les Tutsi en 1994 au Rwanda, le 3ème bataillon de 600 soldats de l’Armée patriotique rwandaise (APR) protégeait les leaders politiques de l’opposition armée installés dans la Capitale, Kigali, dans le cadre d'un processus de paix qui visait à mettre en place un gouvernement de coalition.
Ces 600 soldats étaient une force isolée, loin du quartier général de l’APR qui se situait à 83 kilomètres au nord du pays. Ils étaient entourés par environ 10,000 soldats de l’armée du gouvernement extrémiste d’alors qui a planifié et commis le génocide contre les Tutsi en 1994 au Rwanda, de loin bien approvisionnés.
C'est l'histoire des sauvetages audacieux réalisés par le RPA sous le feu ennemi de milliers de civils autour de Kigali piégés dans des églises, le stade et leurs maisons, qui étaient confrontés à une mort certaine.

La petite vendeuse de soleil #film senegalais complet en wolof & français#senegal#afrique
La petite vendeuse de soleil #film senegalais complet en wolof & français#senegal#afrique Giftmajesty 1 Views • 5 months ago

Depuis longtemps, la vente de journaux à la criée dans les rues de Dakar est l’apanage des garçons. Sili, douze-treize ans, une jambe ballante appareillée, quitte chaque jour sa cité Tomates pour la ville, y mendier et nourrir ainsi sa famille. Un matin, elle se fait bousculer par un jeune vendeur. Elle décide alors de cesser de mendier pour vendre, elle aussi, des journaux, car « ce qu’un garçon peut faire, une fille peut le faire aussi ».
Au dépôt de presse, Sili obtient treize «Soleil». Mais les garçons ne l’acceptent pas et la menacent d’emblée. Un jeune vendeur solitaire, Babou, prend sa défense. Quelqu’un lui achète tous ses journaux, et lui donne un gros billet. L’agent qui passait ne veut pas croire qu’elle a gagné cet argent honnêtement. Il l’emmène à la police. Sûre d’elle-même, Sili se justifie devant le commissaire, exige des excuses, fait libérer une femme, elle aussi accusée de vol sans preuve, et repart son gros billet en main. Avec, elle achète un parasol pour sa grand-mère aveugle, qui psalmodie dans le soleil du marché. Elle distribue la monnaie restante aux vieilles femmes et aux enfants.
Sili conte et chante ; Babou, qui ne sait lire que le Coran, applaudit. Mais la bande des vendeurs, jaloux du succès de Sili, la malmène jusqu’à lui voler sa béquille. L’amitié des deux enfants triomphe : Sili monte sur les épaules de Babou. Ils s’éloignent dans une trouée de lumière.

The now infamous peace-keeping mission in Somalia, now commonly known as 'Black Hawk Down' through the smash-hit film, took place back in 1993, and was a pivotal point for the US military.

This documentary tells the true story of what actually happened, by the serviceman that actually took part, in what was supposed to be a quick 'in & out' mission.

On the streets of Khayelitsha, Cape Town, the struggle for power is a topic of intense debate. This vast township, plagued by high crime, violence, unemployment, and poverty, was established in the mid-1980s during apartheid when black people were forcibly relocated from urban areas. Decades of neglect have allowed gangs and extortion rackets to thrive, bringing terror and misery to millions. Dino and his gang, representative of many young men with limited opportunities, navigate the township with ruthless violence, seeing crime as their only option. At the top of the criminal hierarchy is Mr. X, a figure infamous for extortion, whose operations stifle economic opportunities and deepen the residents' poverty and fear.

Amidst this bleak landscape, community groups like Langa for Men and leaders like Luyolo offer alternatives to violence. Luyolo mentors young boys and takes them on trips to the ocean, providing hope and an escape from township pressures. Monde, the chairman of the Community Policing Forum, tirelessly advocates for justice, working with the police and community members to improve safety. Complementing his efforts, the women of the neighborhood watch, led by Mamma Fillika, patrol dangerous areas unarmed and unpaid, serving as a powerful deterrent to criminals. This documentary explores the resilience and struggle of those trying to survive in Khayelitsha, highlighting the complex dynamics at play and the ongoing battle between despair and hope.
