Here is a photo of myself, Reem, standing before a painting of a man who embodies a profound narrative connected to my name, echoing the tragic yet touching story of another Reem from Gaza.

My name is Reem, like the little girl whose story echoes through the pain and beauty of loss. In Gaza, a grandfather mourns his granddaughter, his "soul of my soul," under the harsh reality of conflict. As bombs fall, his world crumbles, but his love stands immutable amidst the ruins. With each heartbeat, he carries the weight of her memory, her smile, her dreams unfulfilled.

He speaks of her with words heavy with grief but also with an immense love that transcends the boundaries of life and death. He calls her 'the soul of my soul,' a phrase that captures the essence of their bond, unbroken even by the brutality of war. Their story is not just a tale of loss but a call to remember the human spirits behind the headlines, the names, and faces of those who pay the ultimate price.

As the world moves on, their story persists, a poignant reminder of the resilience of love against the backdrop of despair. Let this image serve not only as a reflection of a shared name but as a tribute to every innocent life lost, every dream shattered, and every heart that continues to beat in defiance of oblivion."

Thirty Years After the Rwandan Genocide:

A Look at Kagame’s Legacy and Rwanda’s Future

It has been thirty years since the Rwandan genocide, a harrowing episode in history where an estimated 800,000 people, including Tutsis, moderate Hutus, and members of the Twa ethnic group, were murdered by the majority Hutu ethnic group. This tragedy was fueled by a combination of Belgian colonial favoritism, hate-driven media, and the international community's inadequate response.

Tensions between the Hutus and Tutsis had long simmered. Belgian colonialists, influenced by now-debunked racial theories, favored the Tutsis, exacerbating resentment among the Hutu majority. In 1959, the Hutus revolted violently against the Tutsi elite and Belgian colonizers, resulting in many Tutsis fleeing to neighboring countries. The Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), primarily composed of Tutsi exiles, was perceived as a threat to the Hutu government, intensifying the conflict.

On April 6, 1994, President Juvenal Habyarimana was assassinated. The identity of the assailant remains unknown, but the Hutu government quickly blamed the RPF, triggering a systematic campaign of murder. Over the next one hundred days, the genocide spread across Rwanda, only ending when the RPF captured Kigali on July 4, 1994.

In response to the genocide, the United Nations established the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda to prosecute those responsible. While the tribunal aimed to address the overwhelming number of cases and foster reconciliation, it had mixed results. It aided in justice but also exposed survivors to further trauma and threats. Despite criticisms, many believe it was crucial in Rwanda’s path to recovery.

Paul Kagame has been Rwanda’s president for the past twenty-four years, overseeing significant economic progress and poverty reduction. However, his presidency has been marred by allegations of human rights abuses, including restrictions on freedom of expression, repression of political opposition, and arbitrary detentions. The international community remains divided on how to reconcile Kagame’s economic achievements with these concerns.

The genocide remains a profound part of Rwanda’s legacy. As the country continues to navigate its path forward, it must balance economic progress with the protection of human rights. The global community's continued support will be vital in striving for a future where economic development and personal freedoms are harmonized.

Did You Know? Mount Everest isn't the highest Mountain.

Speaking of mountains, there's a reason Mount Everest isn't technically the highest. Mauna Kea in Hawaii might seem short from sea level, but it extends far down below the ocean floor. So, if you measure from its base to its peak, Mauna Kea takes the crown! (Source)

UN, NATO, and the EU are relics.

The United Nations, NATO, and European Union are relics from a different time when nations were unique in their ability to solve the world's problems. Clearly, that isn't working anymore.

The United Nations was conceived to promote global peace, security, and cooperation, and it has played a crucial role in conflict resolution, humanitarian efforts, and development projects.

However, the organization's bureaucratic structure and the slow pace of decision-making have at times hindered its effectiveness. As the world grapples with new challenges like climate change and cyber threats, there's a call for the UN to adapt its mechanisms to respond more swiftly and comprehensively to emergent issues.

NATO, formed during the Cold War, was instrumental in preventing large-scale conflicts among its member states. While the organization has contributed to maintaining security in the Euro-Atlantic region, the nature of threats has transformed.

The rise of asymmetric warfare, cyberattacks, and transnational terrorism demands a recalibration of NATO's strategies to address these contemporary challenges effectively.

The European Union, once primarily an economic alliance, has blossomed into a political and economic union aimed at preserving stability and fostering cooperation among its members.

While the EU has been successful in promoting regional integration, recent geopolitical shifts and the Brexit process have sparked debates about its adaptability and the need for streamlined decision-making processes.
