In Darfur, a region in southern Sudan approximately the size of Texas, over a million people are threatened with torture and death at the hands of marauding militia and a complicit government. Imagine a militia that forces parents to choose whether their children will be burned alive or shot to death. Imagine that in the very same month the world remembers the genocides of Cambodia and Rwanda, the unfolding news of another in Sudan is barely heard and largely ignored…
Jim Moore is leading an effort designed to raise the awareness of the Sudanese genocide and put it to a final stop. Be sure to check out this great resource and pass the link around.
