Some are alarmed in Rwanda as 8,000 genocide prisoners walk free. Officials state that those released all played relatively minor parts in the genocide. Since the genocide-hungry Hutus were suppressed, the prisons in Rwanda have been overflowing with genocide criminals. Releasing these 8,000 is an strategic act--one that will alleviate prisons across the region and diminish tension.
It is a very interesting article. I found it crazy to think that while our prisons in America hold murderers and rapists, the criminals in Rwandan prisons worked together, as a united front of killing and raping a certain group of people. Challenge for the week: ask the older members of your family what they remember about Rwanda, and compare to the situation in Darfur. Note when you see similarities.
