Another Rwanda In The Making?

Almost this time a year ago, the world woke up to what many reffered to as the Arab Spring. the movement sweft faster than bushfire accross the Arab world toppling life long despots that untill then were thought to be invincible. nation after nation, dictators gave in but there is one thing that stood out unravelled; the realisation that even after the toppling of the despots, little changed. thats the pointer as to why these states are still in total disarray.
One thing has refused to go away - the Syrian Question - or the quagmire i could say. this started as the spring, but has grown into a war that sadly the Chinese and Russians are yet to see or they see and refuse to acknowledge the sight maybe because of reasons well known to their governments.a friend told me that these governments are using Syrians and Syria as the testing grounds for their weaponery! am yet to know how he came upto that disturbing conclusion.
I remember the movies `Sometimes In April` & `Hotel Rwanda` shot about Rwanda in the 1994 genocide. the world went through the drama we are witnessing in the UN security council, drama of balance of power between the member states as the Assad regime shells its own people with grenades made by these fueding states. if you follow the happenings in that nation closely you will know the truth that this is not an uprising but a genocide that the world leaders are watching from the comfort and safety of their palaces as if its a horror movie soon to end.
I have never seen all my life, a regime that no matter how much its citzens push it to the wall, uses its most modern weapons on the same citizens with such force and barbarism! even during the Holocaust Hitler dind subject Germens to such atrocities. while in Rwanda, the numbers counted upwards to thousands,hundreds of thousands and over a million deaths, the world looked away like it was none of their business if some black niggers butchered themselves to extinction! they did nothing, jus as in Syria they sit pretty with veto after veto and great talk but the mass murder goes on unabated. even humanitarian aid cant be allowed in!? isisnt this the worst we`ve seen of a leader? what else worse can you do after you disconnect water,electricity,oil pipelines,all supply chains and block aid to a city your forces shell each day? whats the message this wicked regime is sending to the world?
in answer to this question, i would like to call upon all in power or with the power to change this gory spectacle to do so, or else they will pay dearly for the blood in Syria.Nobody kills women and children,starves them and even does ethnic cleansing then gets away with it. Histrory will prove me right. what difference after all exists between Homs and the other besieged cities and Alchawitz and the gas chambers? atleast the later were exhumed or mass buried with a little honour to their person, not thrown to shreds by Russian Bombs!
