Immaculée has amazing fortitude. It must have been nearly unbearable to spend three months crammed into a tiny bathroom, unable to bathe, rarely able to flush the toilet, going hungry, starving slowly. And yet the pastor is also to be commended for keeping them safe, and for helping them to survive. Rwanda is a beautiful country. Hopefully this tragedy never happens again.
I love when stories like this are retold and fleshed out, that’s the way all of us will remember and continue to remember for generations what these people went through. And the courage the survivors had ❤️
The reconciliation process in Rwanda should be the model for reconciliation in Israel and Palestine. And the colonialism manipulation is equally to blame in the Middle East.
I met a young man in Canada, who came for school. It was right during the genocide back in Rwanda. We become very good friends, and he started telling us what was going on with his family, and that his brother had just been killed and we just kind of adopted this young man into our family and we had a work permit to be in Canada for five years and we had a work permit to be in Canada for five years.. so when our work permit was done in Canada, this young man wanted us to help him go back to Rwanda and this was in 1999 so it would’ve been so it would’ve been 1994 when the genocide happened so it’s five years. So I become a PR person and started raising funds to our church to help him go back in all I worked there in fundraising for six years from 2000 to 2006 and what the people had to endure was unspeakable. I love the people of Rwanda. They’re my family. I had a young relationship baby that I was able to take care of from 18 months to the time when he was almost 7 years old. Mini trips back-and-forth seven times I was there and I’ve learned so much. It was a dark dark time for all the people in Rwanda. Pray for peace always
Thank you for sharing. Amen to your prayer for peace. Sadly though, if our Lord Jesus do not return, the bible say's there will be no more people left alive in the end. Thank God there's an escape from death and damnation.
Please read about their reconciliation process it is the most profound act of healing in human history. And the fact the world is for the most part ignorant of it is an equal atrocity.
Immsculee sorry for what happened to you home girl! Your mother was your parent's colleague;; your dad, your mom and my mother were teachers at the same school before my mother got married. My mother's family was your family neighbors. Like your family, my mother's were also completely wiped out. Thanks for being vulnerable as you share your story. 🙏🧡
I am so proud of her and her bravery, and I am so ashamed that the world has ignored such horrific events purely because it “doesn’t effect us”. So to all people from anywhere; Rwanda, Ukraine, India, Morocco, New Zealand, anywhere: I am sorry. I wasn’t even alive, my mom was hardly alive, and I feel guilty. We need to change for everyone. Change for you. Change for me. Change for her. Change for them.
I cant believe what happened. Its awful to hear of this horror. I think its great what the minister done and she is a brave young lady for speaking out about it
Her book changed my life. The way the government pushed their division is oddly parallel to CRT and many divisive talking points in the US. History is the best teacher. Her book “Left to Tell” is a great read♥️. God bless you sister!!
This is a naive comment. Do you realize slavery, Jim Crow, and racial segregation were all legal in the US? Look at what Israel is doing in Gaza. Somehow, you found a way to problematize CRT as serious threat than the above heinous acts. Are you a teenager?
Oh, it seems my comment ruffled some feathers. It was flagged, but I will repost. This is a naive comment. Do you realize slavery, Jim Crow, and racial segregation were all legal in the US?

I'm from Mauritius Island. I still remember all my childhood in South Africa, Rwanda, Namibia, Kenya, Congo, Nigeria, Ghana and Cameroun. My parents were Doctors Without Borders in Africa, Serena McCluskey and Henry McCluskey. One day when we were in Rwanda, some Government Officials in helicopter came to us with automatic guns and force me and my parents to get on the helicopter and flew us straight to the airport. Years later while watching two movies called "Tears Of The Sun" and "Hotel Rwanda" i knew what happened and why we were forced to get on the helicopter.
Humans have been doing this to each other for centuries after centuries. Even Europeans, specifically the Balkans, were doing this to each other less than 40 years ago.
Where was the rest of the world when this genocide was takin place. Country must not have a lot of energy sources otherwise u couldn't have kept the warmongers out. This was one of the saddest things I've seen
I remember the live news coverage on this that you can still find it online. The rest of the world, including President Clinton for the USA, was trying to decide if this fit the definition of "genocide", because no one wanted to get involved in a tiny African country's internal struggles. If you have't seen it, check out the movie "Hotel Rwanda" as it covers a true-life story of one of the survivors.
Yes, Belgium encouraged the hatred between two tribes, watching how propaganda works. They are damn responsible for this horror, and yet sitting nicely in Belgium and till these days collecting taxes from Rwanda and other African countries. Colony is evil.
@@lalibellahornelmao Because you think this hasn’t been part of human nature since the very beginning? Good lord. Look back through history & you’ll see that judging based on appearance has ALWAYS been a thing. I suppose blaming one group for everything wrong w the world makes you believe you’re “enlightened”, but in reality, you’re just as bad as those you judge.
I read her book years ago, and in nearly every page she praises God, He was what got her through. Im sorry this interview didnt mention her faith in God one time. Such an inspiring story of strength, I think of her often when i try and fail to memorize scripture. Also, i had to see what was America doing at that time. Bill Clinton decided that America should not get involved. Shame on him.
When I picked up her book, I never stopped reading it until the ending. So captivating. I feel like I was living in a bad dream. How can humans be so evil.!!!
Well it’s happening again right in-font of our eyes 😢Gaza needs peace and glad to see her stand up and speak up for the truth so humanity can stop rewinding into history 😢
@@loversonly we know that but where’s it heading out then if it’s not stopped by the way how many are dead , 33+ , how many are injured 75+ who are in the brink of dying from starvation and luck of proper treatment and how many are still in the rubble dead not counted for yet people are still killed every day or even every hour and famine is in the horizon so let’s not underestimate how things are unfolding and it’s horrible situation so far.
My sister visited Rwanda about 5 years after the genocide. And visited the killing fields and memorial museum that they have built . She couldn't understand why they kept their skulls and bones on show all those years later rather than laying them to rest . I suppose it's to show outsiders and tourists just how bad it was . Because I suppose actually seeing human bones makes you realise that they were real people with real families and hopes and dreams . VERY VERY SHAMEFUL and SAD PART OF OUR WORLDS HISTORY . I REALLY THINK THE UK AND AMERICA SHOULD HAVE STEPPED IN AND HELPED STRAIGHT AWAY AND PUT A STOP TO THIS VILE THING
obviously you haven't heard of denialists and it's a good thing you haven't. But they're out there and preserved evidence makes their evil efforts more difficult. It’s important to realize that they don't deny the genocide just for giggles; it's a crucial step in relaunching it. That's their dream. People who live there have to be mindful of this fact.
This just goes to show that even if Racism was eliminated there will still be discrimination based on ethnic tribal group even though they are the same Race. What history has taught me is that being discriminatory is part of our Human DNA because throughout history Humans have discriminated against Social status and Class and Religion . Whatever it is we still will find a way to discriminate even if we are the same Race
Tribalism has always been here before racism. Why would a homogeneous country have a racism problem. You can look all over the world to see tribalism and killing in history this is not unique. Racism was only created to subjugate others and absolve oneself of guilt.
Check out CASTE, a book by Isabel Wilkerson, she explores your thought in depth. A recent movie, ORIGIN, was in theaters a few months ago, based on the book.
In 2002, while waiting outside of an immigration office in Nairobi, I saw 17 year old boy who looked like me. I approached him and spoke my language (Somali) with him. He couldn't understand. Then I spoke to him in broken Kisawihili. He told me he's Tutsi and doesn't have a bus fare. I gave him the bus fare. He also told me about how the Tutsis were genocided by the Hutus. Tutsis very much resemble Somalis, I wonder if we're the same people.
How are such barbaric and archaic behaviors allowed to continue?!!!!! I don’t understand how so many people can be OK with it and follow orders to carry out such horrific violence on another human??!!!!!
People! Wait and listen! That is exactly what has happened to Tigrai people over the last years. I am shocked when I saw Abbey Ahmed the now germicidal received by the Rwandan government!
I read her book years ago, and it's so sad and horrible when people lose their sense of humanity for others. God help us all.
what book is that?
Call BLM

I read her book and it was so touching. My dad too was killed in the genocide
So sorry for your loss

“A better rate than even the Nazis achieved”???? That felt very callous and heartless the way the commentator stated it 😢
Yep, I had that same feeling. That was a strange comment.
Hey you know the worst genocide you've ever heard about? Well this one was worse.
That's all they're saying.
True...using words like efficient.

@@jessicahijarunguru4117 Tubi TV.
Tubi has it.
"Sometimes in April" from HBO is another good movie on the subject.
Unfortunately, the hero in the movie was the villain in real life who made refugees in the hotel pay for their stay at the hotel. It's unbelievable !
absolutely incredible story 😢❤
Oh I heard Immaclee speak at the Javitz center some years ago, with Wayne Dyer,,,,She was spellbinding,,,Oh my God what a story !!!!!

Actually killing for land isn’t a good answer. This man isn’t even in prison. What an atrocity!
That's Africa for you.

@@melvillefletcher4332Israel has a right to self defense.
Leaders of all countries do this. They decide who should live and who should die.

I read her book in tears and I hope it can be made a pacesetter or set book in African schools to teach our children on the effects of war.
What an excellent coverage of this story
This brought me tears😭 😭😭😭😭😭
May God heal them, I know their pain because same thing happened in Zimbabwe (gukurahudi)
Beautiful woman 😍 she is so pleasant to look at ❤️
The pastor and these women were a glimmer of hope in a sea of darkness
Where was the rest of the world when this genocide was takin place. Country must not have a lot of energy sources otherwise u couldn't have kept the warmongers out. This was one of the saddest things I've seen
Britain must have been the one that planned and instigated the genocide, like they did in Nigeria against the Igbos.
The rest of the world was where it usually is in situations like these -- far removed and completely indifferent.

It's happening NOW.
I wonder what countries secretly funded this massacre
Belgium, French,,
The Belgium's split Rwanda into the two groups based solely on appearances.
Yes, Belgium encouraged the hatred between two tribes, watching how propaganda works. They are damn responsible for this horror, and yet sitting nicely in Belgium and till these days collecting taxes from Rwanda and other African countries. Colony is evil.
Yes, the media refuses to look at their cousins the Belgiums that are the real "terrorists!" Let them count how many people Leopold murdered...
And then those tribes went either Christian or Islamic.... And that boiled up way more than just "appearance" issues...
