Genocide is when a group of human beings are targeted with the end result of death, slow or fast. Starvation, rape as a tool to control and terrorrize, torture or immediate killing ~ the intent is to do away with a group of people. The behavior and practice of ending a people's existence has only been given the name of genocide since the holocaust was ended after 6 million were killed. The Holocaust's Genocide is not unusual. It has been repeatedly done before and after the holocaust. Hitler's led genocide went on for 12 years before the world made a difference. It has been happening with the knowledge of the "civil" world for over five years currently. The place is Darfur. The country is Sudan. The continent is Africa. And it is clear that the developed countries' leaders don't care enough to do anything to help end the crisis.
It is up to us to change the world. We can't wait for our political leaders to have the will to end genocide. History tells us this.
Will you make a commitment to change how genocide is ignored?
and you can call 1-800-GENOCIDE
where you will be given points to make to your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators in the USA state that you live in for the sake of the people of Darfur and for the moral integrity that you live by.
