Today, good appears as evil, and evil is celebrated as good. There seems to be no room for dialogue. People shout at and insult each other without any understanding of what the other’s issues are. Truth is nowhere to be found in many of these conversations. Frankly, I could go on listing our world’s present shortcomings. However, that may do little to encourage improvement or inspire hope. Many injustices still plague our world. Poverty amid surplus, religious intolerance, racism, gender discrimination, and many more. The need for change cannot be overstated.

How quickly the years had slipped through our fingers, leaving us changed, molded by the experiences that followed. As I gazed at the photograph, I couldn't help but reflect on the fleeting nature of time. The innocent faces in the image, frozen in a moment of captured history, now ...
1. Independence Burundi got its independence from Belgium in 1962. However since the time of independence, Burundi has been plagued by tension between the usually-dominant Tutsi minority and the Hutu majority. The ethnic violence sparked off in 1994 made Burundi the scene of one of Africa's most intractable conflicts. 2. Civil War In 1972, Hutu organisations carried out systematic attacks on ethnic Tutsis with the declared intent of annihilating the whole group. The Tutsi-dominated military regime responded with large-scale reprisals targeting Hutus. The estimates of the casualties of these killings are said to exceed 100,000 and thousands of asylum-seekers fled to Tanzania and Rwanda to escape the violence. After elections in 1993, Melchior Ndadaye became the first democratically elected Hutu head of state, leading a pro-Hutu government. In October 1993, however, he was assassinated, setting off another round of violence which is estimated to have killed nearly 30...
