Something I've noticed in discussions on this topic though is that there is a lot of speaking on behalf of "the community" by aid workers, religious leaders, political leaders, etc. about what the community actually wants. And I always wonder a bit where these opinions come from. I was told on most of my visits that people want forgiveness and acceptance and to just move on from their experiences, which I believe is true to an extent. But I think we forget in these discussions that everyone had their own individual experience of war, conflict, loss, death, mutilation, rape, etc. and there is no blanket solution that can cover all of this. I'm always left feeling that we've just brushed the surface of the issue and that there are deeper aspects to discuss. Ultimately it's up to individuals and how they want to approach their own unique situations. I'm not sure if there is any form of justice, be it mato oput or ICC, that can really satisfy everyone.Erin Cagneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648084448086083416noreply@blogger.com
