The killing of millions in Africa has for the most part gone unnoticed by the mainstream media since 1983 in the Sudan. In past decades the wars have spread from country to country with no sign of stopping. The displacement of millions has led to the deaths of more people than were killed by the conflicts. The aid these people are given is passive and does nothing but prolong these peoples’ suffering.
I am an advocate of Save Darfur and have been for over a year now. Educating myself on the conflicts in Africa; things I have read or witnessed on videos repulse me. Atrocities that are currently taking place have made me take a stance on these issues. We as a people can continue to “feed the children” and help the displaced refugees, yet if we ignore the reasons for the peoples’ problems the killing will not end until the native people of these countries are destroyed.
I pose you all to rent the movie, “The Devil came on Horseback” and "God grew tired of us" watch these for their entirety. I also ask you to do your own research and not listen to the propaganda of the mass media. I would ask people to stop allowing others to shape your views and trusting what you are told so blindly. Seeing these things has made me ashamed of the American Government for not doing more to aid these people. I am ashamed for not doing more…
In these days when the opinion of the United States has fallen across the world, there is an entire continent of people asking for our aid. We cannot rely on the U.N. as they have proven time and time again they will not support the needed efforts, their own aid workers have embarked on abuses of the people they have been sent to protect. In many cases it’s a militant Muslim backed government whom calls for the annihilation of the indigenous population. If the United States wants an ally against the radical Muslim faction and a staging ground from where to assault the Middle East when necessary, I say help and Arm these people.
