Dear Survivors,

My dad used to tell me ”Kubaho, kandi kubaho neza bibe intego yacu kandi nicyo abacu badutwaye batwifurizaga.”

Nzahora nzirikina iki cyifuzo cy’umubyeyi, ko ubuzima bufite intego buduha imbaraga zo kubaho kandi tukaberaho abacu batagihari.
Aya magambo mbasangije, na y’umubyeyi wifuzaga ko amateka mabi twagiriwe muri 94, na mbere yaho, atazaganza imitima ikomeretse y’abacitse kw’icumu rya jenoside yakorewe abatutsi muri 1994, bikatwambura ubumuntu n’ubupfura abacu badusigiye.

.@LaureIyaga and @LWSupremeStreet are going live in a few short moments on Instagram (@sanainitiative_rw).

I'll be live tweeting in the replies under this tweet for those who are unable to follow
.@LaureIyaga explaining what @SanaInitiative does: People think mental health is only for people who are broken & suffering, and that quickly takes away from humans needing to take care of their mental health the same way they do with their bodies
.@SanaInitiative's work is focuses on breaking the stigma around #mentalhealth through talks, providing therapy (to groups, families...) not just to vulnerable people, but also to those who simply need to stay grounded

#Kwibuka26 Digital Commemoration

We start our Genocide Education with Gregory Stanton's 10 Stages of Genocide.

I'll be explaining what happens at each stage and sharing examples from the Genocide against t the Tutsi, and the Holocaust

But first, a few notes:

#Thread
Note 1: Genocide NEVER just happens. It is always the result of a long process of preparation, that takes years, if not dozens of years. That is why it is important to understand how it occurs, in order to prevent further occurences
Note 2: These stages are not linear. Although it's often the case, one stage doesn't necessarily occur after the other. They can occur simultaneously.

Furthermore, one stage doesn't stop the moment another begins. All of them remain operational throughout the genocidal process

Nothing more exhausting than explaining, to people, why it is “The Genocide Against the Tutsis” and NOT “The Rwandan Genocide”. Ariko its our duty ntakundi.
Aluta Continua ✊🏿

Interesting take, but then again can you expect better from Dayo? He has never been the brightest. Image
It would be disrespectful to our families and friends who were killed in the most excruciating of ways, if we allowed those who committed those atrocities and their friends, to re-write history. The Genocide was about the exterminations of the Tutsis.

Unbeachtet von der Weltöffentlichkeit begann heute vor 26 Jahren der Völkermord an den Tutsi in #Ruanda. Er kostete über 1 Mio. Menschenleben. Viele von ihnen hätten gerettet werden können, wenn die Anfänge für den Genozid rechtzeitig erkannt worden wären. (1) #Kwibuka26 #Rwanda Image
Diese Anfänge sehen wir auch heute. Es ist der Hass, es sind Worte, es sind Botschaften - diese Anfänge sind Taten. Sie haben gemein, dass sie Menschen, die als anders wahrgenommen werden, entmenschlichen. (2) #Kwibuka26 #Rwanda #ruanda
Wer für andere kein Mensch mehr ist, wird nicht mehr wie ein Mensch behandelt. Wir dürfen niemals vergessen. Und wir müssen die Anfänge von Rassismus erkennen, ernstnehmen und handeln, bevor es zu spät ist. Rassismus und Hass töten. Damals wie heute, und überall. (3) #kwibuka26
