Darfur
Darfur is a region in Sudan whose people are being annihilated by the Sudanese government in an under-publicized genocide. Over 300,000 Darfur people have died, according to the UN, and millions have been displaced from their homes.
Americans are turning a blind eye as the people of Darfur are slaughtered. The American media does not report on them, the American Congress will not vote to assist them, and the American people cannot relate to them, so they do nothing to help. The US government needs to take swift and strong action against the Sudanese government and the genocide of Darfurians. The UN has indicted President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan for war crimes, but this is not enough. Assistance is despritely required for the millions of displaced Darfur people, living in refugee camps in fear of death or rape.
There is no hope for these displaced Darfurians, and without America's help, they will continue to lack basic supplies and be slaughtered by the government of Sudan. Sudan will be holding an election very soon, and without UN intervention and American help, it is certain that the people of Darfur will be brutally silenced.

Darfur is consistently forgotten in every news station despite the shocking events that occur there. What you said in this post should serve as a reminder, a message for all those out there about the tragedy of Darfur.
