Darfur, Sudan is the site of the world's most dire crisis. Since 2003, over 400,000 people have died and millions have been forced from their homes. The numbers 1 to 400,000 cover the 40 panels of The Darfur Wall, each representing a person killed in Darfur. By donating $1, you can light a number and acknowledge the importance of each life lost.

    White Pawn posted these URLs on another thread a few days ago. These are groups that are providing humanitarian aid to the Sudan. So, you can go to these pages to find out how you can help.

      This story is in many big city newspapers today --

      Sudan draws fire for civilian deaths

      http://www.commercialappeal.com/mca/nation_world/a

      "The Sudanese army and government-backed militias are committing acts of "inexplicable terror" against civilians, including children, in Darfur, the U.N.'s top humanitarian official said Saturday."

      This is not in the online story but is in the printed version of my local paper --

      "I saw a 2-year-old girl who was shot in the neck at point blank by a janjaweed," Egeland said. "This is an act of terror".

      This is dispicable. Yet, most governments, including ours, make a few speeches about the situation and then do basically nothing.

      Since our government will do nothing, Americans as individuals need to help by going to the URL in this post and/or to the ones I posted.
