International Blog for Darfur Day
Darfur today has a population of 200,000 people. Three years ago, there were 600,00 people living in Darfur. This decrease in people living in Darfur could have been alot smaller than it is, but no one chose to do anything about it. This is a result of a lack in Global Responsibility. The world should have done something about the genocide in Darfur. But we didn’t take action, and now so nmany lives have been lost.
The National Holacaust Museum says “never again” will there be a genocide, and the UN together would make it so another horrible event would never occur again. But it has! look how selfish our world is. Now the genocide is spreading to neighboring Chad. The people living there are sick, dying, and injured, and women are being raped. You can’t possibly know how they are living, but you can play Darfur is Dying to get a glympse of how they survive today. All citizens that aren’t the dangerous janjaweed, are living unsure if they will live the following day. We should have done something about it!
The UN has just recently sent peacekeeping troops into Darfur, but it is really too late. How can we live with this happenning. It is our responsibility. It is the world’s responsibility. We must do more to help those living in Darfur!
