So I'm sure by now a lot of you Otakans have heard the phrase "Save Darfur" Darfur is not a person nor an animal [not even a gopher, despite what rumors may say] but they are a country. A region actually, that lies in Southern Africa. [Darfur is also referred to as Sudan]
For the past few years, a mass genocide has been occuring there. What is genocide? A fancy name for cold blood murder. More than 500,000 people have died (more than half, women and children) and the number is rising. The UN and the Big Five are trying to help with this atrocity, but it's not enough. China is too focused on the upcoming exciting Olympics and America is too into the war in Iraq (which by the way, I think is absolutely USELESS) Efforts to supress genocide isn't working. Guns are still slipping into the market, into their outstretched hands. Women and girls have been mutilated and raped by troops sent to help them, and the boys have also suffered mutilation. The deaths are slow and painful and not quick and merciful. They are crying out to us, but nobody can hear them. But you CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
