Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The shocking impact of the new RMB has not yet passed, the Shinrikyo rebellion in Japan and the Ebola crisis are still spreading, and at this time, a shocking tragedy broke out in Africa, which is the Rwanda massacre.

    The Rwanda Genocide was mainly a genocide carried out by the Hutu majority against the Tutsi, a minority but relatively high-status group.  It was actually the colonists who caused the tragedy in Rwanda.  In fact, there is not much difference between Tutsi and Hutu in terms of race and language, and their cultural beliefs are basically the same. What really distinguishes them is their occupation and social status, which is not the same as the caste system in India.  In India, it is a dual decision of skin color and occupation.

    The Tutsi people used to be herders who lived on this land. They mainly made a living by grazing cattle and sheep, while the Hutu people were mainly farmers engaged in planting.  The class differences between them come from production relations. Hutu people need to use cattle to cultivate land, while Tutsi people have cattle, and they lend their cattle to Hutu people. However, Hutu people lack property and can only use labor exchange. In the end,  As a result, the status of the Tutsi is higher than that of the Hutu.

    After the Belgians colonized this area, they consciously got close to and cultivated the Tutsis, and used the Tutsis to rule this area.  After the 1950s, after knowing that colonization could not last forever, the Belgians began to pay attention to the Hutus again, artificially creating ethnic conflicts like other European colonists in order to continue to maintain influence and arbitration in the region  Provide conditions.

    The Hutus and the Tutsi have repeatedly broken out into conflicts and even wars in their struggle for national dominance. Before the massacre, the two groups had fought three civil wars, resulting in a large number of casualties and property losses.

    In 1933, the "Rwandan Patriotic Front", a Tutsi refugee organization living in neighboring Uyuda, clashed with the Hutu government again, triggering a new civil war.  Civil wars in African countries rarely lead to situations where one party can completely eliminate the other, so the script is repeated over and over again. On February 4, 1993, the Hutu government and the Rwandan Patriotic Front, with the mediation of several neighboring countries, ended in  The northern city of Arusha in Tanzania signed a peace agreement and decided to end the civil war.

    The racial extremist forces in the Hutu government were dissatisfied with the end of the civil war and believed that President Juvenal Habyarimana, who signed the peace agreement, was very dissatisfied and believed that he had made too many concessions in the negotiations with the Patriotic Front.  He is a traitor.

    On April 6, 1994, a plane carrying Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana and Burundi President Cyprien Ntaryamira was shot down near Kigali, the capital of Rwanda.  The president was killed at the same time.  This incident immediately became a trigger for the Hutu dissatisfaction with the armistice and peace. The Hutu national extremist forces accused the Tutsi of the Rwandan Patriotic Front of killing the Hutu president, so they called on the Hutu to take up various weapons.  , to clean up the Tutsis across the country.

    In Hutu extremist propaganda, the country of Rwanda is likened to a large garden, in which Hutu extremists enjoy their followers "cutting away the weeds", "cutting down tall trees (adults)" and  The brutal "fun" of "Tree Buds (The Children)".  Countless Hutus picked up machetes, wooden sticks and even farm tools to massacre Tutsi who might have been their former neighbors, and they did so without any psychological burden.  The cruelty of human nature is clearly evident at this moment.

    Not only were the Tutsi people massacred, but even some moderate Hutus who advocated national reconciliation and sheltered some Tutsis who had escaped were also massacred by their compatriots.  This is no longer a simple genocide, but a group of brutal people enjoying the pleasure of killing.

    In another dimension, this horrifying massacre caused the death of more than 80,000 people, causing one-ninth of Rwanda¡¯s population to disappear.  There was such a horrific genocide at the end of the twentieth century, and the United Nations and other countries in the world, which pride themselves on upholding international justice and justice, reacted negatively and were ultimately accomplices in causing this tragedy.

    The United Nations¡¯ performance during the entire Rwandan genocide was not only passive, but simply irresponsible and deceptive.  It was not until the fourth day of the massacre that the United Nations Security Council held a vote and decided to retain 20 peacekeepers in Rwanda on a symbolic basis. The duties of these peacekeepers, which were a drop in the bucket, were only to mediate ceasefires and provide humanitarian assistance.

    After the Rwandan genocide lasted for nearly a month and a half, the United Nations decided to increase the number of United Nations Assistance Mission in Rwanda to 556 people, expand its operational mandate, and persuade other countries to participate in the rescue.  The so-called rescue work basically focused on providing medical assistance, but there was no use of armed forces to prevent the massacre.

    The root cause of this phenomenon is actually the "Black Hawk Down" failure of the US military a year ago, which made the so-called advanced countries completely afraid of setting foot in Africa.  There are still very vicious residents in this wild land. Once you get stuck in the mud, you may have to lose a few pieces of flesh if you want to pull it out.

    Of course, in Rwanda, a country with a small area and little strategic position in central Africa, it is alsoIt is indeed not something that politicians in capitalist countries can do to save a country with important resources from the misery of its people simply for so-called international justice.

    The day after the massacre in Rwanda broke out, China¡¯s representative to the United Nations urgently proposed to the United Nations Security Council to immediately send unrestricted peacekeeping troops to Rwanda to rescue this humanitarian crisis.

    Li Zhaoxing, China¡¯s representative to the United Nations, made an impassioned speech: ¡°¡­This terrible humanitarian crisis will be more serious than anyone can imagine. If it is not stopped, this blood debt will not only be counted on the perpetrators, but also on the head of the perpetrators.  It will be counted on my head, your head, and the head of everyone here. We had the ability to save hundreds of thousands of lives, but we did not help. From now on, the conscience of each of us will be tortured and tortured.  Endless condemnation.

    Therefore, here I solemnly request everyone to allow the dispatch of United Nations peacekeeping troops into Rwanda. The Chinese government will do everything it can to protect those who are being violated from being harmed.  The Chinese people will also be their strong backing and support the violated Rwandan people to overcome this difficulty.  China also calls on all peace-loving and justice-loving countries around the world to stand up with the Rwandan people and oppose the atrocities committed by thugs at this critical time.  We also hope that the United Nations will bear in mind the principles of the United Nations Charter and defend the United Nations Charter."

    The talk has reached this point, and no one dared to openly express opposition to this kind of thing.  In another dimension, several big countries have a tacit understanding and are unwilling to send troops for this unworthy thing, waste military expenditures and damage human lives.  But if someone breaks this tacit agreement and gets involved, even if all countries abstain from voting, they will probably be despised by their own people.

    Of course, even if the draft resolution proposed by China is passed, requiring the Rwandan government to immediately stop condoning the Hutu massacre and allow more armed forces to be sent into Rwanda for peacekeeping operations, it remains to be seen how many troops and how much support each country will send in the final step.  , you can play more tricks.

    Although the United States has made a very high tone, and Clinton even stated in the White House that the United States will take all necessary measures to protect the local people who have been violated, in fact the United States has only sent a small number of Red Cross teams, and there are no real combatants.  Not a single one was seen.

    Even Belgium originally stationed many soldiers in Rwanda. After all, Belgium was also the original suzerainty of the area. However, some Belgian soldiers were affected during the massacre. Belgium could not bear the pressure and actually withdrew all its soldiers, let alone sent more people for peacekeeping.  .

    Two hours after the United Nations passed the resolution, which came into effect immediately, China obtained permission to pass through Uyuda¡¯s airspace, and immediately took off a large number of Y-20 strategic transport aircraft from its military base in Sudan, carrying about a thousand Chinese airborne troops into Rwanda.  .

    This group of Chinese airborne troops landed on the territory of Rwanda three hours after the resolution was passed. Not to mention the issue of rescue will, this rapid strike capability alone is enough to attract the attention of countries around the world.  This shows that China¡¯s global organization and combat capabilities have been improved to a terrifying level.  The Chinese troops stationed in Sudan must have been prepared in advance and were waiting for the resolution of the United Nations Security Council to be passed. As soon as the resolution passed, China's frontline command headquarters immediately started to move, and the airborne troops who had made all combat preparations boarded the transport aircraft.  Fly directly to your destination.

    China's troops participating in the rescue of the Rwandan genocide will mainly be airborne troops and marines. In addition to the airborne troops stationed in Sudan, China will also urgently dispatch an entire airborne division to fly to Africa. The route is from the Gwadar base in Pakistan.  One transfer, then across the Arabian Sea, flew directly to Rwanda for airdrop, then flew to Sudan for resupply and refueling, and then returned.

    In addition, the Chinese Marine Corps will also be airborne into Rwanda.  Neither the airborne troops nor the Marines will carry particularly heavy weapons, and only some multifunctional infantry vehicles will be airborne to assist them in combat.  In addition, the Chinese Air Force and Army Aviation Station in Sudan will also provide assistance to friendly forces in Rwanda.

    The Chinese Ministry of National Defense initially plans to enter Rwanda on 1360 to carry out a rescue mission. Later, it will decide to increase or decrease the size of its troops depending on changes in the situation.  In addition, peacekeeping forces from other countries supporting the Tutsi refugees in Rwanda will also enter Rwanda through various forms after emergency mobilization.  However, the peacekeeping troops sent by these countries are not very large, ranging from over a hundred to a few people. Some countries even think that the number of troops sent is too small to be worthy of special transportation, and they also ask China for help in bringing these peacekeeping troops with them.  If they go, they will not be allowed to take civil flights or walk into Rwanda.
