Fatshimetry
Fatshimetrie is a forum dedicated to honoring the victims and survivors of past atrocities. In a world where history is often forgotten, it is essential to remember the suffering suffered by so many.
The story of the commemoration of the Congolese genocide by President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo at the Place des Evolués, renamed for the occasion “Plaza de commemoration des Victims du Genocost”, highlights the importance of remembering and paying tribute to those who lost their lives or survived these atrocities. The poignant testimonies of the surviving victims and the deceased plunge us into the heart of the horror experienced and remind us of the need not to forget.
The transformation of Place des Evolutes into a “Christmas Market” and a “CAN Village” is an insult to the memory of the victims. It is unthinkable that this place, which should be a place of contemplation and memory, would be used for such trivial events. Congolese officials must act seriously and respectfully towards those who have suffered.
It is time for Congo to pull itself together and give this painful past its rightful place. By establishing an official Genocost commemoration day, the country could show its commitment to justice and memory. It is essential to recognize the victims and pay tribute to them in a meaningful way.
Congolese officials must stop complaining about the attention paid to other tragedies and focus on their duty of memory to the victims of the Congolese genocide. It’s time to end the hypocrisy and show true respect for those who have suffered.
In conclusion, History must not be erased or minimized. The lessons of the past must be learned and honored. It is up to each of us to ensure that victims are never forgotten and that their suffering is never trivialized. The time has come for Congo to remember and pay tribute to all those who were affected by Genocost.
