On such occurrence/incident is now taking place in a part of the country of Sri Lanka where about 250,000 civilians are said to be "trapped" in a war zone. The world/International community which says "Never Again" is AGAIN making the same mistake of watching the impending death of a large number of the civilians in Sri Lanka. After 15 years and in the same month of April, the World, International Community, UN and the so-called powerful countries of the civilized world are again hiding behind the mask of "Sovereignty" and not taking any firm action to stop the impending mass death of civilians in Sri Lanka through the adamant action of the Sri Lankan Government not heeding o the pleas of the International Community and the UN. The mass death that occurred in Rwanda should "Never Again" be allowed to happen in any country and that too by the so-called "legitimate and democratically elected Government" of any "sovereign" country be it Sri Lanka now or any other country in future. The UN and the world must forget about the so-called "Sovereignty" of the Sri Lankan Government and must unilaterally intervene to STOP the MASS death of Thamil Civilians at the hands of the Sri Lankan Security forces who are using war planes, helicopters and artillery in firing at the civilian population in the war zone with the intent of "rescuing" the civilians from the war zone on humanitarian grounds. REAL IORNY. Everyone is watching and acting in the same way as they did in the case Rwanda and repenting now. Let the World say "Never Again" and act immediately in Sri Lanka on Humanitarian grounds before it is too late so as not to regret later as in the case of Rwanda and shed crocodile tears. "Humanitarians" please awake and act before it is late to avoid regretting later. “Never Again” Remembering Rwanda is something that has to be remembered by the world and the International Community which should make it a point that they will not make the same mistake over again and “Never Again” tolerate such a situation occurring in any part of the world at any time.

There's a new video (by Jane Wells of 3 Generations) on the Hub showing commemoration ceremonies from the Kigali Memorial Centre, scenes described in these posts, but that many of us will not have seen with our own eyes before: Thanks for this post, Elia – interesting to see the mix of perspectives from both old hands and first-time visitors, as well as local and regional responses.
