Had a riff about terms on another page...this about the ongoing bloodlust in Somalia. They said it wasn't in fact a genocide yet...talking about this week's slaughters...anyone notice?
I said I'm counting from the start of this era of warfare to the present in the region. Little genocides are common.
A village here a border town there. I'm calculating from my safe digs in a 1st World Country.
By my measurement a wiped out community counts as a local genocide.
I mean if Flatbush was killed to the last child...a genocide.
The term I think needs to be recalibrated to the realities on the ground. As opposed to UN guidelines.
