Genocide

Re “As Babies Die, the Threat of War Rises,” Oct 31: Thank you, Bob Drogin, for putting a name on one of the many thousands of victims in this latest of genocides (Central Africa). Because of his words, I’ll remember tiny Habimaiya Nankimbesha, who died of thirst in the arms of his father.

I don’t think even seasoned reporters remain aloof after seeing children being slowly tortured to death, and although I feel their pain, keep telling us the victims’ names. Don’t allow us to remain detached, make us angry.
