Congo Basin Genocide: Truth and Reconciliation?

Read and wonder will the world stand by the next genocide - well it already is taking place in the Sudan. Figuring out why we let this happen and how we play into it is step one for preventing the next one and ending this one - no?

Take Action: Sign Our Online Petition to World Leaders

Approximately 1 million men, women and children were killed in the horrific Rwandan genocide of 1994.

Sadly, the actions that led to the genocide have never been fully revealed. The conflicts that preceded the genocide continue to this day. This means that justice has not been done for victims or survivors. It also means that related ethnic violence is continuing in nations bordering Rwanda such as the Congo, where 5 million have now died.

You can help change this. Fill out the form below to send a free, instant message asking world leaders to support an internationally administered Truth and Reconciliation Commission for the Great Lakes Region of Africa.


I am writing to urge you to support the creation of an internationally administered Truth and Reconciliation Commission for the Great Lakes Region of Africa, which includes Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda and the Congo.
