Let us consider , another problem is the between the European Union and Turkey are Armenian genocide. Some European Union countries have accepted that Turkey people have made a genocide for example, Germany, France,Netherland and Italy but what is interesting is the fact that the French and German allegedly kill the thousands of Jews who are known to everybody and the fact that the French made them in Algeria, in this case, they are reacting in some cases because of the double standards…

My fellow associates, Today we, the people of Great Britain are faced with a crisis. As I stand here before you today, hundreds of Congo Natives are being assaulted, raped, maimed and persecuted all for the benefit of one person, King Leopold II of Belgium.

of Tutsi’s to kill. I believe that something could have been done to intervene, but their was little or no help for the Tutsi’s. I believe that the UN was neglectful in efforts to send more troops to Kigali the capital of Rwanda. At this point of genocide the Hutu’s and the Tutsi’s were fighting until every Tutsi was dead. After the massacre was over that’s when the U.S. government became involved to evaluate the situation. What could have been done to stop the massacre from ever starting? I…
