Sudan: a forgotten place?


www.unitedhumanrights.org

Has the world forgotten about the crisis in Sudan? No one seems to care about this issue anymore. May be the rest of the world thinks that civil war, famine, poverty are just the fates that the people of the African continent have to embrace, whether they like it or not. The Darfur region of western Sudan has been the focus of international attention since 2004, when government troops and militia groups known as Janjaweed moved to crush rebels who complained that the black residents of the region had been neglected by the central government. The situation has got worse but still the people of the western world clearly deny the happenings of Sudan as acts of genocide. The same thing happened with Rwanda. When almost half the population was wiped out, the world then seemed to understand that it was genocide. How many hundreds or thousands of people need to be killed in order to call it a genocide? The western world could have taken severe actions long time ago to stop the crisis in Darfur, Sudan. Still they make statements that the happenings in Darfur are not acts of genocide.
It is already too late!
