Had a girls' nite out with you-know-who :) just now. Watched Hotel Rwanda.

I'm very disturbed. I just realised that i'm living in the world that's so selfish. I couldnt believe my eyes and ears when i watch that movie. People in Rwanda were screaming for help. Intervention! Intervention! But no help came. Why? Its just Rwanda..... and as quoted by the UN general from the movie, "You guys are not even niggers!"

Lets give those UN, US and the 'Superpower' nations some benefit of the doubts.. perhaps in 1994, the world citizen was just tired of another genocide. Maybe they were pre-occupied with other things like... (i dunno, i was just 12 then!)Perhaps they question the exaggeration that the media may showcase... Like the reporter from the movie said: "You think the world will help when they saw the massacre on tv? They'll just say "What a pity" and continue their dinner" How true.

I just wrote about how much help we can give to other community in my earlier entry. I stand firm on that. Its only too much we can offer. However, help MUST come. It shows that we're feeling the pain and suffering that the locals are facing- empathising. But still, there's a limit to what we can do.

Its late. And i'm very disturbed. Why?
1) 1 million people died in the period of 100 days in 1994.. and the world ignored it
2) Someone has a new shirt (from who???) urgh!

Humaira... disturbed

psst: When i walk backwards, it feels like i'm helping everyone else move forward faster
