the africa that i see in places like rwanda and northern uganda and darfur is people who are incredibly resourceful and resilient. they are not people who define themselves as victims. they define themselves as survivors. how do you not want to help somebody rebuilding their life saying i'm a survivor? these are people even when there's not a genocide, they face the most incredible daily challenges. we live in a society where we think it's actually appropriate to complain because you had such a tough time finding a parking space. these people have a rather different perspective on life. i also wanted to stress the things we have in common with these people because too often we stress the differentness, the otherness, and that gets in the way of our understanding that this is about the human condition. genocide is not something that just happens in africa because somehow africans are different. they are not. genocide is about the human condition. cast your mind back to the second world war when the nazi leadership were meeting at the conference in berlin to decide the final solution to t
