actually nah.

Would be different if it was you and your family who were being raped and murdered by the masses. Perhaps it would make you feel a lot better if people looked onto your slaughter and said “nah I don’t care.”

taking things out of proportions.

Over 2 million lives have been claimed. Your apathy contributes to that.

I’m gonna post something interesting in a while about the UN/Sudan and Israel.

Almost everything about the UN makes me go nuts.

The world said “never again” after the Holocaust but many many genocides/wars/masscares happened after the Holocaust.

World didn’t say this, whitemen did. And I don’t trust anything the whitemen say regarding important political issues in the world.

The UN is useless sometimes.

UN is an organization that depends on the member states and the dictators who run it. Dictators are the permanent members of the SC. UN is a god damn dictatorship, if the permanent members are not interested in an issue, nothing will happen. Simple as that.

But in the meantime the very same council rightly condemned endless times the actions of Israel.

Wrong, UN rarely does this, US and UK almost always veto any move to condemn Israel.

Don’t confuse the condemnations by the SG with UN condemning Israel.

Dear Jina, what you said is sad but very very true!
Here is a litttle piece from ” we wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our families”….”" The single achievement of operation turquoise was to permit the slaughter of Tutsis to continue for an extra month, and to secure safe passage for the genocidal command to corss , with alot of its weaponry into Zaire. ”
I do agree with you the UNAMIR did save some lives but the Rwandans did have some doubts if the UNAMIR can use their weapons after all.

Well, about Darfur, the AU troops are underfunded and underpayed. If the int’l community or UN are really concerned, they should just fund the AU troops:)

Dear Marten, I was very young when Rwanda happpened however, the coverage was really horrible and alot of people didnt know about it except after it happened. People realized what happened after the refugees were everywhere.
Yes, I know what you mean. The UN is useless sometimes. Last summer, it took them forever to solve the lebanon/israeli problem and implement a proper ceasefire.
Well, Richard Haas is very optimisitc “but to prevent future Darfurs”. The world said “never again” after the Holocaust but many many genocides/wars/masscares happened after the Holocaust.”(Darfur, Rwanda, Cambodia, Bosnia to name a few).

Now we have pretty the same situation in Darfur. For example it took the UN human rights council a very long time to declare it a crime towards humanity. But in the meantime the very same council rightly condemned endless times the actions of Israel. This might be due to the composition of the council. I hope that the overburden AU gets really help to protect the people.
Richard Haas wrote in 2004:

It is important that the world act, not simply to save the people of Darfur, but to prevent future Darfurs. A great deal of innocent human life depends on it.

This includes also the policy of the UNCHR!

UN force was on the ground and it did save lives, UNAMIR and later UNAMIR 2 did save lives in the thousands with the hand full of people they had. 5 of whom died saving the lives of Rwandans. If hand full of UN managed to save so much lives, then a larger force in Sudan can sure save even more lives. Saving the life of even 1 Darfurian is better than doing nothing.

A Letter to Mr. President

The reason why the action has been so mild is because no one is entirely sure of what’s going on, and no one knows the effects of it or how horrific it is. But if there was true awareness, and bigger campaigns and initiatives with an actual direction rather than a temporary donation box, people would take it more seriously and realize the only action that can be taken is mass, collective action and an enormous amount of pressure.

We will keep trying our best with the Darfur Awareness campaign.
