NOT ONLY GOMA - The humanitarian catastrophe in Goma is not only surrounded by the forces of rebel general Laurent Nkunda. E 'on fire also the north, il triangolo dove si incontrano le frontiere di Uganda Sudan e Congo. In quell’aera ha colpito il Lord Resistance Army, letteralmente Esercito di Liberazione del Signore, un gruppo ribelli ugandesi famoso per la sua ferocia.
ASSALTI E MAGIA NERA - L’Esercito di Liberazione del Signore è diventato famoso perché assaliva i villaggi e rapiva i bambini. Poi faceva loro un lavaggio del cervello, li terrorizzava, li sottoponeva a pratiche di magia nera e infine, Bibbia in mano, li costringeva a assalire di nuovo il loro villaggio e ammazzare i genitori. Sul loro capo Joseph Kony pende l’accusa di crimini contro l’umanità da parte della Corte Penale Internazionale. Lontano dagli occhi indiscreti journalists, humanitarian workers and MONUC, the LRA fighters massacred without mercy, and for no apparent reason the people of Congo.
I quote this part of an article in the Corriere. The news is not the main topic of this blog and despite the gravity of the situation in Congo will not go into the question, perhaps saying that you should force Belgium to send a peacekeeping force against him.
I will just leave this digression on the army of the Lord's Resistance. Over and over we hear Christians claim alleged cultural superiority manifested by the fact that terrorists and thugs are exclusively Muslim and Hindus. If in this case are clearly Christian, there is always the excuse that fight each other, etc etc are wild.
Unfortunately what happens is the result of years of separation between two social groups, Hutu and Tutsi, artfully used by the Germans, then by the Belgians, and then by Catholics in favor of first one and then the other.
In the first half of the 900, the church "proved" the superiority of ethnic Tutsis to forge good relations with the local aristocracy. It goes back to those years the belief that the Tutsis and Hutus are two ethnic groups. In reality the division dates back to feudal times, when the Tutsis were the nobility and gentry iproprietari, while the Hutus were the laborers. Among other climbing mechanisms were not excluded or social deprivation, a Hutu could become a Tutsi as an ordinary citizen could become a landowner in Europe.
To maintain relations with local power, the European settlers and missionaries led to consolidate the power of the Tutsis, explaining with distinction on racial grounds. At the time the obligation to mark dates in the documents to which group a person was part. At this point, the groups become ponds, who was born Hutu Hutus died. But those who are born die before Tutsi, apparently. Yes, because in the meantime the local church sided with the Hutus after the independence movements of the second half of the '50s. Power passes into the hands of the Hutu, and the church it immediately became my right arm, starting to say that the Tutsis were an ethnic Egyptian population and that only the Hutu are from the Great Lakes.
The rest we know. Or at least what little we know.
What we see is that the media give more to feed the canard on the two racial / ethnic groups that massacre, when in fact they are oppressed of the former (Hutu) to take revenge on the old masters (Tutsi). And the church is going to look, indeed, help. In the face of personal
episodes of priests taking in refugees tuttto of ethnic groups, the official church has recycled and defended some of the defendants for the massacre, and continues to do so.
still in Rwanda, Congo, Uganda, the church press etc etc the division between Hutu and Tutsi, rather than stifle it. Many missionaries, it is reported, they develop a hatred of the Tutsis is not different from everyone else.
And so what happens happens.
