Genocide

Because he was a psycho-path who loved death

Juvénal Habyarimana's plane was shot down by the Tutsi's and he was killed in the crash. The Hutu's were insensed by this, the assasination of their president and thus began the genocide of the rival enthic Tutsi's.

The Armenian Genocide was an extremely tragic event in which Armenians were butchered, massacred, and killed. The Armenian Genocide was carried out by the "Young Turk" government of the Ottoman Empire in 1915-1916 (with subsidiaries to 1922-23). One and a half million Armenians were killed, out of a total of two and a half million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. Most Armenians in America are children or grandchildren of the survivors, although there are still many survivors amongst us. Armenians all over the world commemorate this great tragedy on April 24, because it was on that day in 1915 when 300 Armenian leaders, writers, thinkers and professionals in Constantinople (present day Istanbul) were rounded up, deported and killed. Also on that day in Constantinople, 5,000 of the poorest Armenians were butchered in the streets and in their homes. The Armenian Genocide was masterminded by the Central Committee of the Young Turk Party (Committee for Union and Progress [Ittihad ve Terakki Cemiyet, in Turkish]) which was dominated by Mehmed Talât [Pasha], Ismail Enver [Pasha], and Ahmed Djemal [Pasha]. They were a racist group whose ideology was articulated by Zia Gökalp, Dr. Mehmed Nazim, and Dr. Behaeddin Shakir. Any common Turks who protected Armenians were killed. First the Armenians in the army were disarmed, placed into labor battalions, and then killed. Then the Armenian political and intellectual leaders were rounded up on April 24, 1915, and then killed. Finally, the remaining Armenians were called from their homes, told they would be relocated, and then marched off to concentration camps in the desert between Jerablus and Deir ez-Zor where they would starve and thirst to death in the burning sun.

The genocide began in 1982 with the first village massacre and ended in 1984 when dictator General Efrain Rios Montt was overthrown and General Humberto Mejia Victores's military government took power. However, the violence against the Mayan in Guatemala continues to this day.

Pol Pot was about 5'9'' tall.

The Tutsi are an ethnic group inhabiting the African Great Lakes region who were genocide almost complete in 1996.

Well Hitler genocide the Jews, genocide means to kill some one with a different racial culture.

One race of people. Such as the holocaust was a genocide of Jewish people.

Adolf Hitler attempted antisemitic (hatred for Jewish people) genocide, where he attempted to kill off all of the Jewish people during the 2nd world war.

And yes, it happens all the time, unfortunately.

No

thousands killed

A) Nobody ever admits to those.

B) It could lead to all sorts of prosecutions

C) The UN doesn't do anything which could be genocidal - maybe its individual member states forces did something which was, but that is not the same as the UN doing it.

It is believed to be part of the problem, but those kids, Eric and Dylan were psychopaths. They played way too many video games, and got into a lot of bad stuff, they were vandals, they drank, and theywere just totally twisted. I dont think you can blame any one thing for the reson they decided to do what they did

Because the US already has a big debt to pay and cannot afford another war/"intervention"

Answer: Many nations feel the right to commit genocide because they have a strong sense of nationalism and believe their race is superior to others. Often, they feel much more superior to another race and choose to exterminate this race, for example, Germany committing a mass genocide of Jews in World War 2 and Turkey a genocide of Armenians in World War 1. Genocide is, of course, very morally wrong and usually genocide is fueled by leaders such as Hitler that may manipulate their country to believe in genocide. Answer: People don't need a whole lot of excuse to kill other people (even in bulk) especially when the other people are of a different ethnicity, religion, colour or political belief. "Mistakes" such as occupying land that is desirable to the first group is often enough. People conducting the genocide often do not see anything wrong with the practice. Genocides of over one million persons are shown below with the leader and his associated country that got the ball rolling: * Mao Ze-Dong (China): 49 to 78 Millon * Joseph Stalin (USSR): 23 Million * Adolph Hitler (Germany) 12 Million * Hideki Tojo (Japan): 5 Million * Ismail Enver (Turkey): 2.5 Million * Pol Pot (Cambodia): 1.7 Million * Kim Il Sung (Korea): 1.6 Million * Menghitsu (Ethiopia): 1.5 Million * Yakubu Gowon (Biafra): 1 Million

The Jews were the victims of attempted genocide during the Holocaust. Today, there are a number of ethnic groups that are the victims of attempted genocide including the Armenians and Rwandan people.

No. Turkey has passed legislation banning any open discussion of the Armenian Genocide (part of Article 301) and uses its important diplomatic and economic position to prevent other countries from recognizing the Armenian Genocide. This has resulted in many Turkish diplomatic problems, like EU entry, which is conditioned on Turkey's acceptance of the Armenian Genocide. Failure to recognize the genocide has made it difficult to establish diplomatic relations between Turkey and the modern Republic of Armenia.

Please see Editorial: Turkey Must Recognize the Armenian Genocide from 2004 to read more.

First of all, genocide has never ended in Rwanda. For a few years after the Genocide of Rwanda, the U.N. only "tranquilized" the genocide. There is still genocide happening over in Rwanda still to this day. Anyone who has told you differently has not seen the news recently. The U.N. is to this day still trying to get rid of genocide for good.

Actually this is incorrect. The genocide is not still happening in Rwanda. It started in April 1994 and ended in July 1994 and cost the lives of over 1 million people. I went to Kigali this summer which is the capital of Rwanda and experienced a very peaceful country. Anyone who believes it is still happening is lost and needs to research the genocide more clearly.

Boutros Boutros-Ghali was the SG of the UN during the Rwandan genocide.

Well many of the things he believed were pretty outlandish: No one should be educated, families shouldn't exist, cities are decadent, money should be banned, everyone should work as farmers on the land for 20hrs a day, holidays should be banned, anti-intellectualism, anti-lawyers, anti-medicine, mass murder of religious clerics like Buddhist monks, catholic priests, Muslim imams etc. Although he would probably be just as insane as any political figure in that position. That term has been used by many people to describe or question nearly every historical person...from an Egyption King to Adolf Hitler, from Napoleon to any modern leader today.

In 1915 there was a massive genocide when the Turks killed millions of Armenians so many left to find a better place to live and to escape.

The holocaust was the attempted genocide of the Jewish race by Hitler and the Nazi Regime. Genocide has happened and is happening in many parts of the world. For example in Bosnia 1992-95, Rwanda in 1994 and for the past three years and at this moment in the Eastern Congo. Genocide is defined as "the intentional destruction in whole or part of a national, ethnical, racial or religious group." In some instances it begins by a government arresting, jailing and executing people whose only crime is their race or religion. Sometimes, as in the Congo it is the result of a civil war or guerrilla warfare, where the armies arbitrarily murder civilians of the opposing forces.
