Here's a flash presentation from Amnesty International's website: http://www.amnesty.org/resources/flash/sudan/sdn-161104-animation-eng.htmlHere's Human Rights Watch's page on the crisis: http://hrw.org/doc?t=africa&c=darfurWe dropped the fucking ball with Rwanda 11 years ago. Let's not do it again. (Punctuation edit)

2. Thanks for the reminder of this crisis we might be able to stop. |
|
The media, for the most part, have ignored Darfur.

3. Our government will probably not get involved in Darfur |
|
or the Sudan. Due to the fact that the ICC is going to be in charge of all prosecutions against the individuals and groups who are committing the atrocities in those regions. The US government is so afraid of the ICC bringing any type of war crime charges against service members and cabinet members themselves that they passed American Service Members Protection Act. The US did not join the ICC because they thought that not joining would protect them from any type of prosecutions however they were wrong and that is why the ASPA was passed.
