Heart of Africa

 

 

 

The Heart of Africa 非洲之心 - - Ghosts of Rwanda 人之初

 从卢旺达回来,慢慢的我才能从麻木中苏醒。照片可以看,录像可以看,可是没有什么让我对站在死尸的当中,腐烂的气味作了准备。卢旺达改变了我,也许我不希望这么被改变。回来后听到最多的不是人怎么会做出这种事,而是 “黑人是不是就是笨?” 或者“黑人怎么跟动物似的?”听得毛骨悚然,种族歧视引起的屠杀,但种族歧视在我们中确是如此的普遍、平常。这种屠杀,在世界上任何一个地方都曾有过。我唯一的问题,作为人类,我们得到了怎样的教训?

I have this terrible feeling that if some outfit wanted to go and slaughter those 300-odd gorillas, that today people would react with far more consternation than they would if they started killing thousands of black Africans, Rwandans, in the same country.

——General Romeo Dallaire. U.N. Force Commander in Rwanda
