what the hell is happening in syria?

these days it is not easy for me to follow what is happening in the world. but as often as i am online i try to get updated about things on our planet... i read about suicide bombings in afghanistan, iraque, i read about these people from boko-haram in nigeria, attacking churches...and i read about syria, about daily massacres, about many UN resolutions where they talk about how bad the situation is, they talk...and talk...and send people from the UN there...and bring them away again because it is too dangerous... but nothing justifies to interact? to help these people who are slaughtered in masses?? do we have to witness all this without acting?? can we accept that?!

we are all aware whats going on - and we just look. what the fuck??!

we have many examples in history, even recent ones with nazi germany, with serbia, with rwanda...where i have been, where in 3 month about 1 million tutsi were killed WHILE the UN peace keeping mission was there...on a peace keeping mission, without the mandate to use the weapon if they were not endangered themselfes. they were watching how a million people was slaughtered. i have visited rwanda, have seen a mass grave for 259.000 people, have seen destroyed churches from granades, i have seen the survuvers with their scars everywhere. at least the older generations were aware about it... you can see pictures in my blog, go to january 2012, there are my rwanda pictures.

by the time of all these incidents i was too small to know whats going on - but now i am old enough to understand whats going on... and to "understand" why it is justified in some countries in help (e.g. lybia), while we just watch in different counties how an evil bastard is killing his people. and the UN are there, but besides actively helping they are just commenting it.

i dont know how we could solve the problem, but at least i know that in times of the internet nobody is able to use the same excuse like generations before used - that they were not aware. we all know that the assad regime is killing innocent people every day...arent we?!

dont know exactly what to do, but to do nothing is probably the worst...

sorry, i do not want to be political here, but its really annoying me to read almost every time i access the internet that there were new meetings with in the UN with NO outcome (at least not the outcome that safes lives). today i read that now all UN people had to leave the city of aleppo because its too dangerous.  i wander when (if ever) it is time for the UN to really to act...

anyways, besides this i am fine, today the last volunteer girl left, so now i am the only suliminga in the village. its gonna be fine, its not the first time for me to have a situation like this!!

hope you are all doing well! and by the way, the boy i showed you the pictures in the last post, he is still alive. we brought him to a hospital in walewale, but immedoiately decidet to bring him to tamale. its the district capital, with a huge hospital. i am going to visit him today...and it really seems that he will survive - which we honestly questionned a bit when we went to hospital with him. but now we are all very happy for him!

take care, and enjoy life!
