I am a sympathizer to this issue, but you've got to remember this is a country of "sound bites." You can't put that much reading on this thread and expect anyone to get on board. Summarize you point; reference your article by a link. I agree that our media has all but left these poor souls to the ravages of mad dogs and something needs to be done, but you aren't going to accomplish it this way.

There is some good sites covering this

Save Darfur

Sudan Watch

Human Rights Watch on Darfur

There are others. The trouble in Sudan is a blot crying out to Heaven.

The problem is the public at large is uneducated about the Sudan. They don't know that slavery continues and they certainly do not know that Islam imposes 3rd class status on non-Moslems. They also probably don't know the Christians there are ancient Christians, not recent missionary converts. The media will not do the job of educating the public either. I don't know why, other than a few less Christians in the world suit them just fine.

This article is over 5 years old. I certainly hope you can accept this fact and your day not be ruined.
