Visit Rwanda?

It’s times like this that I wish my holidays were more like Charles. The wife and children have always wanted to fly hours in order to see a Genocide Museum and there’s me taking them to 5 star resorts and cities filled with history, culture, architecture and great food.

It’s virtually child abuse :-(

Maybe he knew where the load-bearing walls were?

Anyway, it’s all about the colonial masters favouring the more Semitic Tutsi minority over the more obviously negroid Hutu majority, apparently. So whitey’s fault, obvs. Heaven forfend we hold black people responsible for their actions, eh?

In my experience one does, especially if there are potential propaganda points to be scored. Note that I am not doubting the veracity of this particular story or the accuracy with which it was retold here. I am just, perhaps callously, a little bit cautious about atrocity stories if something doesn't quite feel right about them.

For example, victims of an alleged chemical attack who were recorded arriving in hospital before the alleged attack actually took place. Something slightly odd about that imo. :sherlock:

Perhaps in this case the blade thingy of the bulldozer was bigger than the actual church, just to be safe. :nod:

I blame the Belgians. Or the French. Anyway, it’s not one of ours, thank God.

Of course the Kigali genocide museum doesn't really stand up to the Phnom Penh genocide museum. The Cambodians cunningly built their museum on the site of a massive execution centre, so are able gleefully to point out the bones which still work their way to the surface each day, as well as delights such as the tree against which babies' heads were smashed in order to save bullets.

I'm quite the connoisseur of the genocide museum, me.

The funny thing is how piss-terrified they are of it all kicking off again at any moment. Indeed, without Kagame's 'firm hand' (fascist dictatorship) they would definitely have been at it again. They love a good old genocide, those fúckers. Also, plenty rapey.

As you say, clearly the fault of whitey.

Too jolly. I was thinking of a nice Siberian gulag.

Visit a shíthouse.

Cracking marketing.
