2010 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE TO RWANDA'S RIGHTEOUS

Dear all,

This is an invitation to join and support the 2010 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE TO RWANDA'S RIGHTEOUS.In 1994, genocide took place against the Tutsis in Rwanda. While so many "obeyed to orders" and took part in the killings, some disobeyed and saved lives. Amongst them, we remember Captain Mbaye Diagne of Senegal, who saved hundreds of lives and was killed at a roadblock; Marc Vaiter of France, who refused to be evacuated and protected orphans, then died in 1995; an Italian volunteer Antonia Locatelli, who was killed in 1992 as she spoke out to denounce the organization of the genocide. But some are still alive: Zura Karuhimbi, an old Hutu lady who is today 84 and saved over 100 people in 1994; the Italian consul Pierantonio Costa, who evacuated the foreigners then came back to Rwanda to save over 2.000 lives; and Yolande Mukagasana, whose family was slaughtered, and who was saved by, and then saved, the Hutu lady Jacqueline Mukansonera, and then dedicated her life to upholding the memory of the genocide. We are setting up a group of volunteers to support the candidacy of Zura Karuhimbi, Pierantonio Costa and Yolande Mukagasana to the 2010 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE TO RWANDA'S RIGHTEOUS. The meaning of this initiative is to "give peace a chance" by showing that all of us have a choice, as even in the event of a genocide, every human being can choose to save and not to kill. We wish to oppose the "banality of good" to the "banality of evil". This must be proclaimed at the global level. Also, we wish that universal recognition be given once and for all to the genocide that took place in Rwanda, against genocide denial, revisionism and justification.
