When it comes to the Rwandan genocide, many people know about it, and many people have seen the classic movie "Hotel Rwanda" and have given universal praise to the heroism and humanitarianism shown in the film. On such an occasion, saving so many people is undoubtedly great and undoubtedly worth remembering. Yet most people remember the Rwandan genocide for the film, those who saved African civilians, but few people know the truth, or cause, behind the massacre. Why no one knows, because this is a crime committed by Western colonialism in Africa.
Of course, the movies recommended today are not meant to condemn this crime, but only to provoke people to think independently about the nature of things. The film is called "Killing Forbidden Zone", which is far less well-known than "Hotel Rwanda", but it can more intuitively let us see the massacre.
Rwanda, a small African country, experienced a coup d'état in which the masses overthrew the regime, triggering a military crisis. This small country was instantly transformed into a hell on earth. The United Nations officers and men were there to witness everything, but they were indifferent. It meant that the English missionaries and their young retinue began to face the most difficult choices of their lives.
The result of this film is obvious, individual strength can not prevent all these tragedies from happening. The missionary chose to live and die with these civilians, and his retinue left in a last-minute car. This seemed to us to be a coward's behavior and in that case there was no one to blame him. Even his students, who survived the massacre of the year and survived, did not criticize their teachers too much. However, the reasons behind all this have not been reflected, and this is the point.
The reason why the Rwandan genocide was a crime committed by Western colonialism in Africa is simple: let's look at the causes of this storm. The Tutsi are the majority in the country, and the Hutu are a minority, but after the Western colonists came to Africa, they supported the Hutu people to govern and suppressed the resistance of the Tutsi people. The seeds of contradiction had begun to take root by that time.
Later, the Tutsi people began to gradually awaken, and then overthrew the ruling Hutu regime and advocated the establishment of a peace agreement. However, just as the victory of the common people was approaching, the Hutus did not accept such a defeat, and a bloody repression began. The ousted Hutu leaders first killed the prime minister and then began to kill the Tutsi ethnically, mainly ethnically. And the Western colonists who controlled Africa were clearly capable of doing so without any intervention.
The media journalists we see in the film are largely monopolized by Western colonialists, who tend to document the crimes of the Hutu rather than demand the support and sympathy of these slaughtered people in the international community. If you think that such media reporters have no conscience, then you can delve into what the real media reporters are doing.
They are creating contradictions, they are inciting and magnifying hatred against the Hutu, making the already troubled Hutu become hot and boiling. It was as if the Hutu people would have no future without killing the Tutsis. So the laissez-faire massacre lasted three months.
It was only after the Ugandan army counter-offensive with the Rwandan Patriotic Front that the massacre came to a complete halt. Yet more than a million innocent people died in this catastrophe. To this day, when mentioning the massacre, many people's feedback is a very simple documentary movie or two. Behind those film and television works, it is only the propaganda of some humanitarianism and heroism. Few people have pursued the perpetrators of the massacre.
All of this actually comes from the West's ideological output, and their film and television works highlight the fierceness of the war and the feedback of ordinary people's emotions on the war, or the truth, goodness and beauty, or the false evil and ugly. These individual emotions can easily resonate with all.
However, the nature of war is rarely developed in depth. Americans filming the Iraq War can focus against their hearts on the Iraqi people living in harmony with American soldiers, but the Americans will not tell everyone why they started the war. Similarly, in the Films About Rwanda made by Europeans, their main point is that humanitarian love is everywhere, but no one cares about the reasons behind the massacre.
This is a major killer of Western ideological output. Celebrating ordinary emotions resonates, but ignores the truth behind the war, what happens to the war, and why does it happen? How should we avoid war and so on. There is no one who does not cherish peace, but in the film works exported by Western ideology, what we see is an attempt to use the export of war to pretend to defend the so-called Western democratic peace of the people of the invaded countries. While these people are running rampant in these banners, no one really cares about the lives of those who died tragically.
Pity them will naturally appear to be noble, but if every country can keep to itself and be warlike and single-mindedly seek development, the world may be more peaceful without the participation of those so-called "civilized people". By the way, after Rwandan President Paul Kagame once again accused France of "participating" in the Rwandan genocide, France on Saturday decided to cancel its participation in the commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide.
