Many Voices for Darfur
On March 6th, we will be asking students from around the world to visit the project Darfur blog and leave thoughtful comments about:
- Darfur Awareness
- Ideas for taking action
Right now in Darfur, something called genocide is going on. The government is paying and supplying the Janjaweed (a rogue group) to kill and strike terror on the villagers and people of Darfur in Sudan. That is, basically put. We, the US, are trying to do something about it, but not enough is being done, and the stress of our relationship with China is also hovering. This means that if we upset China by bringing in troops to stop this, and we get on China’s bad side, it’s game over for us. No one wants to get on China’s bad side, because, the have real weapons of mass destruction, and quite frankly, I don’t want to get nuked, and many others may share this opinion. So, you see how delicate our situation here with China and Sudan is. Though it is our “global responsibility” to watch out for other countries, we need to stay on our toes and be careful.
