Japan: Government doesn't want young people to beg forgiveness for war
On the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, the Japanese Prime Minister argued that future generations should not be held accountable. Shinzo Abe expressed, this Friday, its "extreme pain" by the suffering inflicted by Japan to other Nations, but stressed that the generations born after the conflict should not be forced to ask forgiveness for the mistakes of the past. "We cannot let our children, grandchildren and future generations, we are not responsible for that war, are condemned to ask forgiveness." said Abe.The military expansion of Japan between 1910 and 1945 continues to poison relations with the countries that suffered from Japanese occupation. In front of the Embassy of Japan in Manila, women who were sex slaves of the Japanese army returned to manifest this year.The so-called "comfort women" were forced to provide sexual services to Japanese soldiers in the occupied territories, between 1932 and 1945. They were from all over Asia and the Pacific, in most of Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, Philippines and Indonesia. According to the Center for research on globalization of Montreal, a Canadian independent NGOS, the number of these sex slaves of the Japanese army estimated in tens or hundreds of thousands.
