Middle Africa is like a vortex where
religion, political parties and military groups twisted together. A lot of
issues that violated human rights have happened in this area. Malian soldiers tortured seven suspected supporters of Islamist
armed groups in Léré, near Timbuktu. As described by the victim, soldiers
attacked them when they went from nearby villages to sell their cows. All happened
because they are muslins. After the torture and other ill-treatment of the men
caused lasting injuries, One man went blind in one eye after being clubbed in
the face with a gun butt, while another had gone partially deaf after being
kicked repeatedly in the head. It is so astonish that innocent people have to
face such threat everyday. They have to live under fear. I think, no matter
what kind of religion they have, the bottom line is that they are humans. They
have right to live and they should have freedom for their belief. It’s
ridicules that their rights are violated in this way. One the other hand, the
government should make more effort to protect their citizen. How can people
support a government that couldn’t even be able to protect their own people?
It’s basic responsibility for government to keep their citizen safe despite
their religion. In addition, soldiers are protectors for citizen and homeland.
They are not weapons to sweep out minority group with different belief. People
despite of what they think and belief should be respected. At least, their
safety of life should never be violence. The reason that soldiers torture these
innocent people is because the connivance from government. Only when government
treats the safety of citizen seriously, punishes those tortured innocent people
illegally and puts more efforts to spread ideas of human rights and equality, the
massive situation may development in positive way.
