genocide: darfur
2:52
The genocide in Darfur has left more than 200,000 black people dead, a thousand villages burned, 3 million refugees. Everyday while the international community waits more of Darfur's women are being raped, more men are being murdered, more childfren are being killed, more of Darfur's black people are becoming refugees. China is underwriting the genocide in Darfur by supplying Sudan's dictator Omar Hassan al-Bashir with weapons and by protecting him at the United Nations. China imports 80% of Sudan oil. If the Chinese communist government in Beijing wanted to end the genocide in Darfur they could do it easily. The don't care that black people are being butchered. Boycott the Beijing Olympics. タグ:sudangenocidechinahumanrights 投稿日: August 23, 2007, 1:42 am 閲覧数: 72289 投票: 4.40(５点満点) 161 人の平均

Genocide was said to happen "never again." But what they meant was "Never again will Jews be killed in 1940's Germany by Hitler." タグ:genocideamericasudanafrica 投稿日: January 19, 2007, 5:58 pm 閲覧数: 45416 投票: 4.70(５点満点) 86 人の平均

Darfur Region - Sudan Genocide on border of Chad and the doorway to the Arab worlds. The Darfur conflict is a complex crisis in the Darfur region of western Sudan. One side of the armed conflict is composed mainly of the Sudanese military and the Janjaweed, a militia group recruited mostly from the tribes of the northern Rizeigat, camel-herding nomads. The other side comprises a variety of rebel groups, notably the Sudan Liberation Movement and the Justice and Equality Movement, recruited primarily from the land-tilling Fur, Zaghawa, and Massaleit ethnic groups. The Sudanese government, while publicly denying that it supports the Janjaweed, has provided money and assistance to the militia and has participated in joint attacks targeting the tribes from which the rebels draw support.The conflict began in February 2003. Unlike in the Second Sudanese Civil War, which was fought between the primarily Muslim north and Christian and Animist south, almost all of the combatants and victims in Darfur are Muslim. The government and Janjaweed attacks upon the non-Baggara civilian populace have resulted in a major humanitarian crisis. There are many casualty estimates, most concurring on a range within the hundreds of thousands. The United Nations (UN) estimates that the conflict has left as many as 450,000 dead from violence and disease. Most NGOs (non-governmental organizations) use 200,000 to over 400,000, a figure from the Coalition for International Justice that has since been cited by the UN. Sudan's government claims that over 9,000 people have been killed, although this figure is seen as counterfactual. As many as 2.5 million are thought to have been displaced as of October 2006.

darfur in 10 minutes: an overview of conflict in sudan
9:56
A brief overview of the Darfur conflict from a friend of mine who has spent a considerable amount of time "on the ground" there.
The overview describes three of the significant "drivers" that explain what is going on in Darfur, but also show why decreasing the misery is so difficult.
The three "drivers" are 1) ethnicity, 2) oil (mostly China, in the ongoing "scramble for Africa"), and 3) desertification/climate change.
I hope this overview is helpful. Any informative comments are greatly appreciated.
As a personal note, with the Darfur hell so centred around oil, I can't help but think of the Iraq hell, that also began in 2003, and has likely resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians—basically folks like you and me.
Don't you just dream of a time when enough people actually say, "No"—and it has meaning? Maybe that time is closer than we know.
