Another, now defunct Black-Owned Newspaper, “The Philadelphia News Observer” featured, at least for me, a must-read columnist named Henry DiBarnardo. I found his columns insightful and foresightful.
One of his columns that struck a long-lasting chord with me was on the brief but ferocious Civil War in Rwanda some 28 years ago this month. The War was nothing less than a Mass Murder Attack between the Hutus and Tutsis tribes. It lasted about 100 days, beginning in April 1994. Mr. DiBarnardo reported in his column that former Joint Chief of Staff of the United States Military, Colin Powell, the first so-called African American in that position, was in Rwanda months prior to the Mass Murder training Rwandan soldiers. He did not make any direct connection between General Powell’s training and the Mass Murder, but he did make some other interesting and intriguing observations. I always felt something was radically wrong and different about the so-called tribal war in Rwanda. For one, the savagery of the participants was off the charts! And, the savagery stayed at a high level for months. No one seemingly got tired. In Black Africa’s past tribal wars, there was a “gentleman’s” understanding there was to be a limit to the numbers killed and how to kill. To my knowledge, only two Black African civil wars violated that unofficial agreement in the 20th Century. That was the Civil War in Nigeria in the 1960s and this one in Rwanda. Last month, I came across two articles by two different writers who seem to know exactly what happened in the Rwandan Mass Murder Experiment disguised as a Civil War. The comments in quotations are not mine. However, observational statements I find particularly interesting I have highlighted in bold fonts.
