39. Cities of Sanctuary, Religion, and Justice

Author

Hintjens, Helen and Hintjens, Helen

Abstract

Helen M. Hintjens examines initiatives to provide sanctuary to undocumented peoples. She notes that these initiatives are frequently local and grassroots, often led by faith-based groups, in opposition to centralised governmental policies. Positive examples are available globally. In the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Islamic nations, organisations have provided practical and moral support for illegal refugees, offering a politics of hope. However, there is also a warning for those who wish to help. Such efforts can become counterproductive if they do not allow for the self-organisation and self-reliance of refugees themselves (the example from the Netherlands shows). Furthermore, attempts at support can entail serious risks for the supporters and the refugees. Sanctuary cities raise a host of ethical and practical dilemmas for faith-based communities.

40. Expressive violence and the slow genocide of the Banyamulenge of South Kivu

Author

Ntanyoma, Rukumbuzi Delphin, Hintjens, Helen, Ntanyoma, Rukumbuzi Delphin, and Hintjens, Helen

Abstract

Recent warfare in Eastern DRC, especially since 2015, is marked by violence inspired by ‘race’ narratives. Identity politics around ‘race’ is used to legitimise ‘expressive’ or reprisal-oriented violence against ‘Hamitic’ or ‘Tutsi’ minorities. The case of the Banyamulenge of South Kivu is examined in this article. Following Autesserre, we show that one-dimensional narratives – in this case of ‘race’ – tend to over-simplify the dynamics of political violence. Anti-Hamitic racism is derived from colonial ideas around race hierarchies, and has resulted in systematic killings of Banyamulenge civilians in what resembles a ‘slow genocide’. Expressive violence has, in turn, produced a lack of concern for the plight of Banyamulenge civilians among the military, humanitarians, media, scholars and NGOs. Given armed alliances between local Maimai forces, Burundian and Rwandan opposition and the DRC army, such ‘race’ narratives cruelly legitimise violence against civilians from ‘Tutsi’ communities, associated by neighbouring communities with Rwanda. Resultant displacement, starvation and killing of Banyamulenge civilians in this context amount to an on-going, slow-moving genocide. As the COVID-19 crisis unrolls, the decolonisation of identity politics in Eastern DRC, and in South Kivu in particular still seems very remote.
