Rawanda Issues

Violence has been a part of the human history, a known fact which began in 1700 BC from the existence of Cain and Abel, up to the present day. There are violent acts committed towards and by men and women as well as children. It is still hard to understand how children could commit violent acts or how people could be violent towards children. imagine the type of violence that the Jews experience in the Holocaust, and even the violent acts the people of Rwanda live through, makes you wonder what type of people exist in the world with cold hearts, and certainly no compassion on conscience.

According to Martin (2007) the core of the research on violence are sociologists, social psychologists, anthropologists, criminologists, as well as devoted human service workers and those within the criminal justice system. After investigation the impact of violence from people who committed these crimes showed no ethical considerations for their victims. A simple stare could be potentially dangerous as someone could be hurt or killed, so it is extremely important to keep yourself out of a situation that can become violent. No one can condone the behavior of committing a violent act, yet, we are all humans. How do we forgive, move on, and forget? Is it okay to commit a crime if you are rich or from a certain class in the socio-economic status?

The States Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) provides aid and sustainable solutions for refugees, victims of conflict and stateless people around the world, through repatriation local integration, and resettlement in the United States.

According to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) more than 463,000 Somali refugees now live in the camps of the Dadaab Complex in Kenya which originally was intended for 90,000. Thus camp was first set up between October 1991 and June 1992, after the civil war 1991 in Somalia with gratitude from the Government and the people of Kenya. They provided protection, shelter, and humanitarian assistance, often undo difficult and complex circumstances such as chronic overcrowding, risk of disease, and seasonal floods. More than 968,000 Somalis live as refugees in countries neighboring Somalia primarily in Kenya (520,000), Yemen (203,000), and Ethiopia (186,000). A third of them fled Somalia in the course on 2011. The Jews from the Holocaust as well as the citizens of Rwanda are among many refugees who fled the violence from their country in fear of their lives.

According to Shen Ryan (1992) issues experienced by refugees include stress related to trauma, changes, grief due to the violence they experienced. Refugees are also faced with mental problems because of the trauma and pain, and physical problems because of the scars they received from the violence, in addition, a great substantial amount of depression from the emotional pain. Several key facts that relate to the issues that the refugees faced are, the fact that they are in a camp and not their own homes, they're in a new culture compared to what they are used to, the traumatic experiences they encountered as victims or witnesses of the violence done to someone. There are also the fact that the refugees have lost their families, and their material possessions as such as their homes. Many women were raped, children taken or killed, fathers killed, or families mutilated. The Jews were striped naked, humiliated, raped, families separated, tortured while alive, then left to die, forced to stay in the cold without clothing, experimented on with no medication and killed.
