  • Air Date: 1996 Aug. 15
  • Producer: Koos Barten
  • Original Language: French, Kinyarwanda
  • This report begins with Rwandans being interviewed at a grave site and follows with churches being accused of not showing a strong moral conscience, as well as denying any responsibility. An interview is featured with a Tai Chi professor, showing how he works to instill in the minds of Rwandans the 4 qualities of Tai Chi discipline: softness, humility, realism and patience. A close-up of a classroom follows, where Rwandans are learning self-discipline and self-control. It is believed that had the Rwandans taught self-control, the massacres would not have happened. The program focuses on Tai Chi training as a method to help heal the ills of the society and prevent future killing.

In August 1997, Aung San Suu Kyi discussed various economic and political issues taking place in Burma and the National League for Democracy (NLD): "Investment in Burma won't be a success due to instability and inflation. Dialogue is the best possible solution to the problems in Burma." She expressed the NLD's readiness for comprehensive dialogue with the government, not merely a meeting. Although Suu Kyi's movements were restricted and her speeches were not reaching the public,people could get the updates through Radio Free Asia, BBC, VOA or theDemocratic Voice of Burma. Regarding the political stalemate, Suu Kyi said, "Politics is not a drama, it is everyone's life.The regime-sponsored National convention will not bring genuine democracy because their members do not truly represent the people." When generals accused her of being a dictator in NLD, she said generals did not understand democracy.
