I tried to walk away from the movie but i just couldn't. Thanks sis

Since my somali is Ahmmmmm bad I will try to say it.This dude who comes to my work says this when every time he has a problem Waar xaage salada iska kabsanladahay When I asked him what does it have to do with the salaad he said that A somali guy who didn't pray much one day come to the masjid and his was late for the salaad. It was Eid salaad and I guess he wasn't aware of that. When he prayed and finished his prayers he said how come the salaad is not connecting the right way. It used to annoy me a lot because I didn't understand why he meant the salaad part but after I understood what he meant. P.S don't make fun of my somali ppls

One of the most powerful movies. Ten years ago, some of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind took place in the country of Rwanda; and in an era of high-speed communication and round-the-clock news, the events went almost unnoticed by the rest of the world. In only three months, almost 1 million people were brutally murdered. In the face of these unspeakable actions, inspired by his love for his family, an ordinary man summons extraordinary courage to save the lives of over a thousand helpless refugees by granting them shelter in the hotel he manages. Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle), the Hutu house manager of a four-star hotel who took in 1,628 Tutsi refugees at great personal risk. In 1994, while the U.S. news media obsessed over the O.J. Simpson murder trial, the Hutu army in Rwanda was busy committing genocide against one million of its fellow citizens, the Tutsis. What, exactly, is the difference between Hutus and Tutsis? Seems the Hutus have the darker skin and wider noses, while the Tutsis have the lighter skin and narrower noses. You can thank the Belgians for that artificial distinction, which led directly to the 1994 Tutsi genocide. -------------------------------------------------- of my Co workers at a public forum We swoon at 170,000 people killed by a Tsunami, where's our support for a movie where 1,000,000 people died not by uncontrolable natural disaster but by avoidable genocide? This movie should be playing in every theater in the country. People don't want to watch what hurts their conscience. It has major stars like Nick Nolte, Don Cheatle, and Joaquin Phoenix, so no one can claim it's got a weak cast. It touches the sensitive subject Europeans (and white America) interfering where they do not belong, and segregating people based upon physical features and political views. Then abandoning these cultures to heal the animosity and breach alone. It happened in 1994 and it will happen again, and again. ------------------------------------------------- The sad thing is yet again Hollywood biased. This movie is not showing nationwide. There's no way film can convey the complete awfulness of genocide, of hundreds of thousands of bodies dead or maimed, of senseless horror and human hatred and essential madness. It's a subject too dreadful for art, too given to sentiment and disbelief, too hard to watch while too important to ignore. Early in ''Hotel Rwanda,'' a cynical television journalist (Joaquin Phoenix), who has just videotaped a massacre a few blocks from his hotel, shows the damning video to the hotel's worried manager, Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle). Paul becomes elated. He is certain that these images, when televised abroad, will force the West to intervene in the ethnic strife consuming his country. But the reporter knows better. ''If people see this footage,'' he growls, ''they'll say, 'Oh my God, that's terrible,' and they'll go on eating their dinners.'' Ten years after the fact, those remarks come as a stinging slap in the face, for he was right. Source NYTIMEs Yet again it happens in Darfur and yet again We will go on eating our dinners. I couldn't stop crying the whole time I was watching the movie. My dream was to work inshallah for the UN but I know realize the my voice will not make difference to such matters, but to create inshallah some day my very own human rights organization. We live every day life while others die in the hands of their very own people. Our very own Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Rwanda, and now Darfur and many more. When will we stop killing each other for cause so unworthy? What will it take the world to help or intervene in this genecide. Another million dead or what? Pay special attention to the scene that the Nick Nolte is talking to Paul about the UN peacekeepers living and he say the your not even a Ni&**# but your African. Watch the movie and please share your views.

Quote for today the 19th I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended. NELSON MANDELA MY THIRD GREATEST ROLE MODEL...His my insprition and the drive that makes me go beyond the moutains.
