Days after Donald Trump fell asleep during a televised Cabinet meeting,
the president on Thursday again dozed off during a ceremony to mark the signing of a peace agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Trump was visibly closing his eyes as Rwandan President Paul Kagame spoke from the podium at the ceremony inside the U.S. Institute of Peace building,
his hands clasped and his head drooping while he sat at a table to the left.

Trump, 79, Falls Asleep Again During Peace Agreement Signing
Donald Trump was bragging about this Rwanda-DRC peace agreement minutes before he began to doze off.

Two sides of the same presidency played out simultaneously along the National Mall on Thursday afternoon.
At one end, Donald Trump was telling the world to give peace a chance at a meeting with African leaders.
It was possible, he said, “to begin healing old wounds and transcending past differences and creating a future where every child of God can live in dignity, prosperity and peace.”
At the other end of the mall, top officials from his Defense Department were being grill…

In this 3 min video Tucker Carlson totally forgets that genocide is not something you speak of lightly...

""Why call it genocide?" - Tucker Carlson

Then she walks him thru Namibia, Armenia, Rwanda, Bosnia — and Gaza. A full-on masterclass he did NOT expect. "

Donald Trump has taken over the United States Institute of Peace building in Washington, D.C.,
and put his name on it,
even as the legal battle over who owns the building is ongoing.
Independent journalist Marisa Kabas posted about the visible signage on the building Wednesday showing “DONALD J. TRUMP” in block letters tacked to the building.
Kabas reports that Trump plans to use the building to host the signing of a peace agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic…

Plagued by Flooding, an African City Reengineers Its Wetlands
As climate change and urbanization intensify flooding in Rwanda, the hilly capital of Kigali has embraced nature-based solutions. The city is restoring and reshaping 18,000 acres of degraded wetlands, planting native species to filter and slow runoff and enhancing biodiversity.

And people keep being suprised by the regular genocides that *keep fucking happening*. And yes, call what ICE is doing what it is. It is a gencoide. Even if it's not killing millions of people (yet), the "genocide" doesn't mean "killing logs of people" it means "trying to wipe out a specific ethnic, racial, or religious group." What the fuck is ICE trying to do? They're carrying out ethnic cleansing. It's genocide.
Genocide in Gaza, genocide in Syria, genocide in Turkey, China, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Serbia... why the fuck does it keep happening? I'll tell you why. It's states.
People like to think of countries and ethnic reagions as the same thing, but they aren't. They never have been. There's never been clear divisions between ethnic groups. But the existence of the state depends on a shared identity. When the truth is more complicated, the state must find a way to fix that. The solution is genocide. You can't separate the two. There can be no state without genocide. The mechanism to carry ou the kind of mass murder and the incentive to do so are really not easy to put together without the state. The state makes genocide viable, and the state demands genocide to protect it's own existence.
Every election is a dice roll. Every state is on a clock, waiting for the luck to run out. And the worst people possible are just waiting for their chance to win and carry out those genocides in order to lock in their power.
Never again means nothing unless you are attacking the root of genocide: the state.
