US sees genocides against Uyghurs and Armenians but consistency elusive AFP 3 hrs ago AFP © Karen MINASYAN People wave Armenian and US flags in front of the US embassy in Yerevan after US President Joe Biden recognised the 1915 killings of Armenians by Ottoman forces as genocide
In 1994, as 800,000 mostly Tutsi people were beaten, hacked to death or shot dead in a 100-day bloodbath in Rwanda, the United States hesitated to call it genocide, eventually using the watered-down phrase acts of genocide.
This year, in a matter of months, the United States has unreservedly made two such declarations first accusing China of genocide against the Uyghurs and other mostly Muslim Turkic people, and last week, defying years of pressure from Turkey, recognizing the Ottoman Empire s 1915-17 killings of Armenians as genocide.

Four will hopefully be a charm for the inaugural New American Banjo Festival, the brainchild of musician Michael Nix, which has been postponed three times so far. He’d originally scheduled the first of what he hopes will become an annual and international celebration of all things banjo at Hawks and Reed Performing Arts Center in Greenfield last April.
