Crying darfur 2008

Let’s talk about Sudan. How many people actually know what is going on in Sudan? Well, the situation there is so complex that I can’t really come up with an opinion. You see, normally, I am very opinionated....Genocide, crime against humanity, UNAMID (Peace Keeping Troops), UN Security Council, ethnic cleansing by the central government..... JEM, the rebels...what else...but one thing I know is that the peoples there need help....especially protection. It is such a great challenge to deliver humanitarian assistance there. This year alone, from January til March, 84 humanitarian personnel were kidnapped, not to mention 75 humanitarian vehicles were hijacked.
During the Rwanda era, the peace keeping troops pulled out, indirectly allowing the ethnic cleansing to go full scale. As a result, hundred thousand of peoples were brutally wiped out including women and children. I pray that history will not repeat itself, I pray that God will cut off the power of darkness in Sudan, we have to do something to change the outcome this time around. Our action comes with power and grace, let’s take action.... write a letter, lobby the Sudanese government, sign a petition, just do what ever you can....let's pray
