"Veil of Darkness"
Yazidi girls burned alive for refusing to have sex with IS captors. The 19 girls were burned to death, while hundreds of people were watching. Nobody could do anything to save them from the brutal punishment.
#VeilofDarkness
IS had a center for slaughtering women.
Thousands have been kidnapped, raped & slaughtered.
They were forced to 'marry' dozens of men.
Those who didn't agree were beheaded.
#VeilofDarkness
Self-immolation by burning to look ugly for their IS captors, a (may be the only) chance to escape sex slavery.

Catholic Church’s Role in Rwandan Genocide.
In 1918, after the agreement to end World War I’s fighting, the territory held by Germany on the continent of Africa was split amongst the Allies.
In 1923, Rwanda transferred to Belgium’s rule, where Catholicism was the predominant religion.
Following the national revolution in 1959, Rwanda gained independence in 1961 from Belgium.

where he is responsible for the genocide of 800,000 people. contd..
In Rome, Bishop Alois Hudal, a fellow Austrian, greeted him with the words: "You must be Franz Stangl — I've been expecting you."
He then handed Stangl forged documents that allowed the Nazi war criminal to travel to Syria, where his family eventually joined him. contd..
