Never (http://www.markfiore.com/animation/never.html) again - again...

I hope nobody has forgotten about what's going on down there

I haven't. Too many people have tiny minds. As soon as something else happens, they forget the previous thing.

wahats going on?

we shouldn't forget about AIDS in Africa either.

I'm one who hasn't forgotten Darfur. I'm just very limited in what I can do. I have no money to contribute, and my current situation prohibits me from traveling. However, after I recover from this broken leg, I would be happy to join a mercenary force to help prevent further attacks on these suffering people. How's that? :)

If you cry for everyone, you drown in your own tears.

The regime that rules Sudan has been using arab militias called Janjaweed to clear farmers off the lands they have occupied for millenia. The Janjaweed kill all the men, rape the women and girls in order to make them have half-arab children, and enslave some women and children to serve them as workers and sex objects. The Sudanese government supports the Janjaweed with helicopter gunships and aerial bombing of the villages.

A few years ago they tried the same thing to the christians and animists in the south of Sudan. They crucified people, sold their children as slaves, castrated people, amputated people's limbs, and exterminated whole villages. The people in southern Sudan were able to fight back to some extent, and a peace agreement is being worked out, but the slaughter goes on in Darfur.

Luckily, the UN has determined that Darfur isn't a genocide. That must be a great releif to the people starving in refugee camps in Chad.
