GENOCIDE FLOURISHES WITH THREE MAIN THINGS ~ MEDIA NEGLECTS DARUR

Genocide flourishes when there are perpetrators, weapons suppliers and Leaders Who Lack the Will To Hold the Perpetrators Accountable.

At a time when the world is focusing on the January referendum on Southern Sudanese independence, Darfur must not fall off the agenda of policymakers around the world. Doing so could result in a repeat of history and unmentionable violence and despair for the people of Darfur.

2. Follow the instructions on the recording to be connected to Secretary Clinton's office.

Media Neglect

As has been true a lot, the Darfuri people have been forgotten and neglected in 2010 by the leaders of the world. As the attacks continue in 2010 upon the Darfuri people, most USA media neglects to cover the story. And the USA government has been a part of that neglect. With the attention on the two Jaunuary 9, 2010 referendums, where Southern Sudanese and Abyei will vote to separate from Sudan, the attention on Darfur is even less than has been the case. The website ~ stopgenocidenow

Stop Genocide Now i-ACT team is returning to the Darfur refugee camps on the Chad-Darfur border in late 2010. They will be uploading same day web casts from the camps. The SGN iAct team will also be establishing the school to school relationships for the Darfur Dream Team Sister Schools Program.

Help in donations for the trip to the refugee camp in December 2010. Donations are for the following ~
$20 - Rechargeable Battery Packs
$30 - Digital Cameras
$35 - Portable Video Cameras
$100 - Flip Cameras
$250 - Satellite usage for initial reporting

The digital and flip video cameras will be given out to refugee reporters (mostly youth). Through their eyes, we will learn about their lives. Information on the cameras will be uploaded and by satellite viewing will be available for the world to see. From stopgenocidenow

"Why Target China?

While China continues to be Sudan's largest economic and diplomatic ally, the genocide in Darfur continues in Darfur. China has done very little to help end the suffering. China will host the 2008 Olympic Games in August 2008. In doing so, the Chinese government hopes to bask in the glow of the Olympic ideals of global peace and cooperation.

But China's efforts to polish its international image can't hide the fact that it has not done enough to stop genocide in Darfur. The games China is playing in Beijing cannot hide the games that China is playing in Darfur.

China is a rising global power and Sudan's close economic, military, and diplomatic partner. It is the one government in the world -- except Sudan itself -- that can bring an end to genocide in Darfur." Source: http://www.savedarfur.org/page/conten...

Rhode Island Dream for Darfur Torch Relay

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," (Martin Luther King Jr.)

On October 27, 2007, The Rhode Island Dream for Darfur Torch Relay and Ceremony took place in Providence. Ordinary people came together to stand united with others around the world with the unified message to bring the Beijing Olympics theme of "One World, One Dream" to Darfur. With our presence we said "'Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.'* We were there to say we will not be silent about Darfur." *Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Keynote speakers were twin nineteen year old Rwandans, Edward and Edwin Mutanguha, freshmen at Salve Regina University in Newport.

Edwin said, "Today, we are all uniting for a common cause, all from different backgrounds, but with one thing in mind, to be responsible for each other and be conscious of what is going on around us. Our world is becoming a global village and it is no longer possible for us to live obliviously and inconsiderately."

Edward spoke from his heart "I would like to remind everybody about something that you have that the rest of the world envies: your FREEDOM. With this freedom, comes rights. I urge you to use your rights as citizens of a free nation to help the people of Darfur obtain their freedom and their right to live."

Music was provided by the Rhode Island Darfur Ensemble.

We each have a voice.

We each have a presence.

We have been called to be human

 in the most basic way

 on this subject.  

Let Us Not Be Silent

Silence Kills  

We are each responsible for our personal silence.

If Peace never begins, Genocide will never end.

Where does Peace begin?

One humanity.

One Human Race.

BE INSPIRED

I CARRY THE TORCH FOR DARFUR

Some things in our lives become important enough to prioritize them. It may be sickness. It may be an accident. It may be sorrow.

But when our humanity can be questioned because we allow a genocide to go on year after year in Darfur ~ what amounts to be a silent screaming out for our attention and our souls needs to be given project status. In other words, genocide is one of those things that should be taken care of as a priority.
