Do People care about the Genocide in Darfur?

I care very deeply about this horrible situation--and follow it very closely.  Have you been following Nicholas Kristof's articles about the Genocide in the New York Times?  He writes about it regularly and has been trying to get the US government and the "bully pulpit" people like Bill O'Reilly to draw attention to Darfur.  He has even set up a collection to pay for Bill O'Reilly's trip to Darfur to raise the public's attention.  So far, O'Reilly has refused--saying he has "other commitments" (what commitments could be more important?)  If you get a chance look at www.nytimes.com and see if you can access the articles/video on Darfur.

what's funny is... they ignore Saddam's major genocidal purges... and after they are mostly over... then we invade? a lot of good that does...\n\nI guess they are waiting for the genocide to stop before we go in to "free the people" of Darfur?

No, of course genocide was not a good thing.  \n\nIt's erroneous to classify God's destruction of Sodom and Jericho as genocide.  \n\nIn both cases, the "big picture" is God's victory over evil on behalf of those who trust and believe in Him.  \n\nOne thing I've found helpful in reading the Bible is not only to focus on the event being described, but the deeper meaning behind the event and the lessons from it that can be applied today.

Yes I stop to help them because the full development of empathy is the next stage in human evolution.  When we are all contributing to society and respecting other peoples' rights, we will all be much more advanced.  When you look at the violence of the "caveman era" and compare it to today, the advancement is clear but certainly slow.  Patience and determination is needed.

250,000 Iraqis have been murdered by the barbaric American troops since the 2003 invasion. Most of them are civilians, women and children. Therefore by the Bush administrations own 'standards' you have committed genocide. I don't know about you but I do not like to be partially responsible for such war crimes, whether 250,000 deaths is genocide or not, it is an unforgivable crime. As citizens in a "democratic, freedom loving" country you should take some responsibility for the actions of your elected barbaric governments.

I am very concerned about this subject and have emailed Bush and my state reps.  I also joined savedarfur.  Here is the latest info I received.  Hope this helps!\n\nsome exciting news: Academy-award winner George Clooney will speak at the Save Darfur Rally to Stop Genocide in Washington, D.C., on April 30!\n\nClooney and his father, Nick, just returned on Sunday from a fact-finding trip to the Darfur region.  They now know from first-hand evidence how dire the situation in Darfur has become.  Hundreds of thousands have been killed and nearly one-third of the population of Darfur has been displaced.  And the world simply watches and waits.\n\nWe must show President Bush and other world leaders that the time to act is now!\n\nIf you can't make it to Washington there are many other rallies in other parts of the country all with goal of drawing attention to the tragic Darfur genocide.\n\n\nWe have collected hundreds of thousands of postcards.  Now we must show our will through sheer numbers.  The Rally to Stop Genocide will be a huge gathering of people from all over the country – and the world – who are committed to ending the genocide in Darfur.  \n\n\nThank you, \n\nDavid Rubenstein\nSave Darfur Coalition\n\nP.S. George Clooney will appear on the Oprah show tomorrow, Wednesday the 26th, to talk about his trip and the situation in Darfur.  Visit Oprah.com for more information and please tune in.

Likely, unfortunately. Unless there is outside intervention, Darfur will (it already has) spilled over into Chad.\n\nhttp://www.civilrights.org/issues/human/details.cfm?id=41413

The U.N. has got to step in and protect the people of Darfur.\n\nIt is just unacceptable what is going on with the slaughter of   innocent civilians.

It is a rebel group wih serious issues where Kony the leader thinks he sees visions and wants Uganda to be ruled by the Ten Commendments. HIs group has been linked to massacres, child soldiering and a whole lot of war crimes. He continues to kill nad maime people but the African Union, The UN, the internation community are simply not doing anything. In fact he frequently holds talks with the SPLM/A. that is the government of the newly formed South Sudan. And to think our leaders were protecting us from the axis of evil.

There is a genocide in Sudan right now, where all the villages are being destroyend, and nearly a half million people have been killed. Many have evacuated to shelters. But, as the rainy season is coming, it will be flooded and since they can't survive in a foot of water, they will die.
