The reason I still haven' recovered my sleeping hours


Yes, cruelty isn’t bluntly shown in this movie, much of the atrocities are cut from the viewers’ sight, but we all know what happened… People crying to be shoot by the blue helmets because a bullet was less frightening then being brutally decapitated, most of the times after suffering countless humiliations and after the blue helmets leave, the militias come armed with sticks and swords…

In the end you know it had a ill begging, yes white are to blame, but what happened on that April month of 1994 was mainly due to corruption and greed for power, for all the wealth power delivers, from the government and the military who where supposed to protect the innocents and so many innocents perished, 800.000 people died because of ambition, power and manipulation of ignorance…

I think when people realize what has happened just 2 years ago in Sudan, they will have to agree with me, how is it possible that time after time, every time a genocide is committed it was allowed with the silence of the world, of our leaders, who should also be on a stand being convicted of complicity, because they knew and they didn’t care, people are numbers not human beings, nor lives and nor all potential that is lost… It’s disgusting to hear them saying “Never again!!!”, knowing again will happen once again and again…

Human beings are human beings, their lives are impossible to value, not all the petrol, diamonds, gold, power, money in the world are as precious as the life of a human being…
In the end I think this movie leaves a lot untold, but then Africa is too complex to explain and as much as we had and have much to be blamed of, we cannot close our eyes to the blames of certain people who rule it with corruption, greed, inhuman cruelty and we should never again allow a Sudan, Somalia or Rwanda… Perhaps it’s time for us to stop being manipulated to develop a blind, stupid hatred towards America (as much as we should still put it on a stand when they are guilty) and begin to see why they are trying to cover our eyes, because I have seen plenty manifestations against USA but I’ve not seen one against Sudan’s government when they began committing genocide against a part of their own people, their own “brothers”…
