APRIL 9 — Seeking forgiveness or forgiving someone is seen as a sign of weakness and surrender by some, but it is probably the most powerful act that has not only healed relationships but saved entire nations. It is the antidote to inevitable offenses when humans interact with one another, especially in multicultural communities with strong religious identities.
The new government then began a process of national reconciliation that emphasised unity, forgiveness and healing. One of the most significant reconciliation mechanisms was the Gacaca tribunal court system where perpetrators confessed their crimes and sought forgiveness. These courts aimed to promote truth-telling, accountability, and reconciliation.Rwandans faced the immense challenge of forgiving neighbours who had become murderers during the genocide.
Genocides, wars and civil wars are firestorms that flared up when the conditions of hate and anger are left unattended by the authority and fanned by opportunistic politicians. Some may think that Malaysia is far from such scenarios, but so was Rwanda 30 years ago until the plane crash that killed the then-President. It just takes a spark to ignite the fuse of an ethno-religious bomb.
