what's funny is... they ignore Saddam's major genocidal purges... and after they are mostly over... then we invade? a lot of good that does...\n\nI guess they are waiting for the genocide to stop before we go in to "free the people" of Darfur?

It is a rebel group wih serious issues where Kony the leader thinks he sees visions and wants Uganda to be ruled by the Ten Commendments. HIs group has been linked to massacres, child soldiering and a whole lot of war crimes. He continues to kill nad maime people but the African Union, The UN, the internation community are simply not doing anything. In fact he frequently holds talks with the SPLM/A. that is the government of the newly formed South Sudan. And to think our leaders were protecting us from the axis of evil.

It has stiffed the US's power.  Nearly every nation fears following the US on any initiative.  Hence we have genocide in Africa while the world watches and the US stands alone trying to drum up support for the African people.

Hopefully it will go better than the drilling in Sudan, which led directly to the genocide. Ethiopia also has a recent history of ethnic and political genocide. That part of the world is extremely unstable, and oil wealth into a few hands might just push it over the edge again.

That is a disgusting question. What happened to the indians was GENOCIDE. These two situations are not even remotely comparable.

I don't agree on any country turning their backs on another holocaust (that is what is happening in Darfur). As the most powerful nations we owe it to help these people get out of the suffering and torture. If we turn our heads away we are no different than those who torture because we see it and did nothing. We cannot afford to do nothing and say we are fighting for peace and stabilization in Iraq.

Because the UN/US isn't interested in the African people other than as slave labour to mine the minerals for the corporations. By the 'peacekeepers' doing what they are doing, it will undermine their position leading to riots/demonstrations/protests. Then when these turn ugly, more 'peacekeepers' with 'bigger guns' will be sent to 'resolve the conflict'.

I am already involved in the sudanese genocide in Dufor.It really broke my heart to see the story.\n\nOver a million blacks have been forced from their homes by Arab militias backed by the government, into camps if they aren't raped/killed on the way as tens of thousands have been. Now, the rainy season is coming which will worsen the sickness and malnutrition already rampant in the camps and make it tougher for aid to get in.\n\n I have sent a small but helpful donation.I wish I could go there and do some hands on help...especuially with the children who are homeless and in trouble.\n\nA big thank you for posting this and making others aware!!!

Assuming your perspective just based on your question alone I'm guessing you have little knowledge about the 1998 cruise missile attack on the El-Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Khartoum, Sudan.  Since that plant produced the majority of the medicines which fought malaria, tuberculosis, and other countless curable diseases in Sudan, the missile strike led to the deaths of tens of thousands of Sudanese.  I'd say that was indeed a crime against humanity, wouldn't you?

I've linked several articles below for your review. 1st - Ethnic cleansing, 2nd is an overview on Allied war crimes, 3rd a specific record of the details on the previous posters Katyn massacre. There were significant atrocities committed before (1932-33 era in the Ukraine) and after (Stalin's pogroms) the war and with most focus on the Nuremberg trials a lot of Allied crimes either went un-or-under reported. Best of luck in your research, hope this helps.

It comes from a long history of being persecuted and murdered. Holocaust, terror attacks, inquisitions, crusades, pogroms, false accusations of drinking blood.. etc, etc,

So this is sort of what a person would call his/her "prerogative" when it comes to staying in an outrageously priced suite in Las Vegas or taking some of those funds and helping the needy (worldwide, not just Darfur - in fact, in the U.S. for starters).\n\nIt is obscene, but what's worse is the fact that funds are being sent to Darfur and the officials THERE are not distributing the money and/or goods properly (as has been the case with most charitable distributions/causes).

Right on! My school just devoted an entire day to raising money for the Darfur genocide. We sold shirts saying stop the genocide-Darfur on them and we raised $2000 and we are trying to raise awareness about the genocide by organizing a rally for the Darfur genocide. It cannot be stoped unless people know about it

Ah, Kofi. Before being SG, Kofi was in charge of UN peacekeeper forces. While there he kept getting urgent messages from the UN troops in Rwanda. He promptly ignored them, and 800,000 people were brutally murdered. What a hero Kofi is.\n\nAnd in reviewing the atrocities in Darfur, Kofi has seen no genocide, despite over 1,000,000 blacks being killed by the Arab Muslim government and its agents. Heck, he has no problem with Sudan being on the UN Human Rights commission. And, he seems to have no problem with the fact that over $25 billion was kicked back to Saddam in the UN Oil-for-Blood Money scandal.\n\nSo, as far as I can see, Kofi is a typical useless tea-sipping corrupt and uncaring sack of manure.\n\nThat's why Clinton loved him so much. So alike.

This is about Sudan.\n\nSad Sad. http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060408/OPINION/604080307/1004/NEWS

For whatever reason, many incidences of genocide and war in Africa are minimalized and do not receive the same amount of publicity that other world conflicts do (Rwanda, Uganda, DRC). They often involve third world countries that have little or no history of stable democracy and no valuable natural resources to speak of.\n\nI also believe that this incident demonstrates the ineptitude of the U.N. in dealing with international incidents. The media determines what is news and they do not wish for this to become a widely held opinion by making a big story out of it.\n\nThirdly, this is not a big political issue. Very few people have vested interests in Sudan (especially as compared to the current immigration controversy), meaning that very few votes can be gained/lost by action/inaction on the subject. As sad as it is to say, the primary responsibility of a politician (a politician, not a statesman mind you) is to get reelected, and so many politicians will not waste their time on an issue that will not earn them any votes.
