Black Lives Matter....so what about Rwanda???

As Archbishop John Sentamu steps down from the See of York and many are grieving over the death of George Floyd, I wonder if any one of us is concerned about the return and rehabilitation of a senior cleric who was a bishop in Rwanda. According to the Observer, the Right Reverend Jonathan Ruhumuliza "defended genocide", when he was a Rwandan bishop. His former archbishop called him an "errand boy" for the Hutu extremist regime.

 To those protesting on the streets of London who are over 50 years of age, where were you when the Rwanda genocide was taking place in 1994? I do not remember many protests and demonstrations during the slaughter of millions of black lives during the Hutu and Tutsi conflicts.
It passed under the radar of many activists, did it not? Yet thousands, yes probably over 1.5m black lives were lost in these tragic massacres.
