Genocide is not a topic I like to write about. The attempted destruction of people groups is gruesome and I cannot fathom it. The world declared after WWII to not tolerate it and yet we allow it to happen around the world. According to Genocide Watch these countries are currently experiencing genocide: Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Myanmar, Northern Nigeria, Central African Republic, and Somalia. Also how many orphans are caused by these events? Sudan split relatively along Moslem and Christian areas and still conflict remains. The Christian population in Iraq has been almost eliminated through death or dispersion. After Sveta and I visited Auschwitz Concentration camp this past summer, the mentality of genocide is hard to grasp. We have the historical examples, yet people still hate enough to exterminate each other. So many children suffer trauma from this hatred.
