There are times when we may hope. ACULTY noise making the march of free conscience in every part ... Mortification can not last forever ... The story is not just a nightmare.

In Africa, they say, the dead are blacks and weapons. It would be difficult to find a more appropriate summary of the succession of disasters that has been and continues to be, for centuries, the existence in Africa.
The site of the world where mankind is said to be born was certainly not the paradise on earth when the first "explorers" are Europeans landed there (as opposed to what he says the biblical myth. Adam has not been ejected from ' Eden, there is simply never entered), but with the arrival of the white man have been opened to blacks, the gates of hell. These ports continue to be relentlessly open, generation after generation of Africans have been sacrificed before the ill-concealed indifference or complicity all'impudente of world public opinion.

A million blacks died for the war, hunger or diseases that could have been cured, will weigh less on the budget of any country and will occupy less space in the dominator news compared to the fifteen victims of a serial killer. We know that the horror in all its forms, the most cruel, heinous and the most infamous lies and darkens every day, like a curse, our unfortunate planet, but Africa seems to have become his favorite area, his experimental laboratory, the place where the horror he feels more comfortable in committing atrocities inconceivable that judge, as if the peoples of Africa were marked at birth by a destiny of guinea pigs, which, by definition, any kind of violence is allowed, all the torture justified, absolved all crimes.
Contrary to what many people persist in believing there is a court of God or of history to judge the atrocities committed by men over men. The future, always so available in this kind of general amnesty decree that is masked by the oblivion lost, it is also good in approving, tacitly or explicitly, depending on convenience economic plans, military and political immunity for life for the authors of the most direct and indirect monstrous acts against the flesh and spirit.
is a mistake to hand over the task of judging the future leaders of the suffering of the victims today, because this future will not cease to be its victims and similarly can not resist the temptation to defer to another more distant future the wonderful time of universal justice that many of us pretend to believe as the easiest way, and even hypocritical, to circumvent responsibilities that only we, and this mind that we are. You can understand someone saying sorry: "I did not know, but it is unacceptable that we say:" I'd rather not know. "
operation the world has ceased to be the mystery that was, the levers of evil are in full view of everyone, for the hands that now govern no more gloves enough to hide the bloodstains. It should therefore be easy for anyone to choose between one side of truth and falsehood, between respect for human and contempt for others, among those who are pro-life and those against.
Sadly things are not always the case. The personal egoism, laziness, lack of generosity, cowardice small daily, all this has contributed to this dangerous form of mental blindness that is to be in the world without seeing it, or see only what, at that moment, it is more serves our interests.
In such cases, we wish nothing but the consciousness is in Stratton violence by the arm at point-blank asking: "Where are you going? What do you do? Who do you think you are? ". An insurrection of free conscience is what we need. You will still be possible?
