In Rwanda’s Kiziba camp, which holds 17,000 Congolese refugees, there was recently an attack on officials that were visiting the camp. There were 23 Congolese refugees that did the attack. They pelted the officers with stones. Following the attack, hundreds of police officers entered the camp and fought back with the refugees. With one casualty and one injured child, we are left wondering if this was an appropriate attack.<\/p>\n
Many say that this attack was a result of the previous violence in February when five refugees died and many other were injured while a cut in food rations was being protested. Police claim that they arrested the refugees because they attacked them while they were only doing their job.<\/p>\n
It is hard to tell who is in the wrong here. The refugees are fighting for their rights, but things aren’t \u00a0necessarily the same outside of the United States. And when law enforcement is threatened, they have the right to… enforce the law. It is a hard situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
