Hotel Rwanda
Watched the movie Hotel Rwanda last Thursday. It was a good movie. It is really sad to see that the entire continent is ignored by everyone. Nearly a million people were killed when the whole world just sat their and watched the whole thing unfolded. I wonder if the world would have reacted the same way if Africa had a lot of resources (like oil). Hmm… I guess not huh?
I was talking to one of my friend about this and he pointed to me to an essay written by a South African "Let Africa Sink”. Well if you don’t want to read the entire essay… here is his conclusion for the problems in Africa.
So here’s my solution for the African fiasco: a high wall around the whole continent, all the guns and bombs in the world for everyone inside, and at the end, the last one alive should do us all a favor and kill himself.
I wonder if he will say the same if he was living in any of the problematic area in Africa. Isn’t it easy to say something like this when you are not affected by the problem?
