In some situations, solutions are being sought with the strength of military might. The land will go to the victor. We now claim territory on moral or legal grounds - but it is territory that previous generations fought for. Other conflicts are being tackled with a diplomatic approach in an effort to find political solutions. Points of law and the implications of previous treaties and agreements are analysed.
Some reasonable compromise is sought.
But again, it is easy to see how artificial and unstable such compromises are. Our starting point to understand the question must be Scripture. No, He who created the distinctiveness of the Hutu and Tutsi tribes is far wiser than those who imagine that millenia of conflict could be banished by a European decision to create a nation called Rwanda. Only in Christ can one new man be created where once there were two. God did draw all those straight lines on the map.
