Hotel Rwanda

[sonny78]

my girlfriend is into the whole africa thing so i have to watch hotel rwanda and sometimes in april all the time. if i remember correctly 20,000 people died in a month. thats alot of people to chop up,my arm wouldve been quite tired.

Not even close mate in roughly 100 days, at least 500,000 people were killed. Most estimates indicate a death toll between 800,000 and 1,000,000

That's over 200,000 in a month most hacked to death with blunt machetes

and no one did anything, this was in 1994 I remember seeing this film and thinking at least this has been exposed and could never happen again, that's just wishful thinking

Sudan: Started in 2003 the United Nations estimates that the conflict has left as many as 500,000 dead

Congo: Bit more complicated this one but the war in Congo is the world's deadliest conflict since World War II, killing 5.4 million people started in 1998

The whole place is fucked
