I am going to post some flyers around my college campus about this. I know it's not much, but I want to continue to raise awareness about this.

me personally will sen dmoney to those places like the village of adwa and help those in need not saying that the government might take the money for themselves

There is no reason to face away from the issue and simply leave it as is, but no change will come unless the public finds a way to fight back. They are helpess, no doubt. They require assistance, yes, and perhaps we are in the role of providing it. However, sending troops into the area will not remove hatred and ability to mass-murder, although it might diminish the death toll (by no means eliminate it). Food distributions are inhibited often, and even if not, the systems are failed to begin with. In most all regions today, there is enough food to support the population (India, for example, after introduction of IR36)--it is simply not getting to the people who need it.

I can't explain what I think the people need, but I guess guidance is the best word. Organization.

There is hope, and while I am not sure how the capable powers can aid the people, I do know a change has to be made from within the affected areas, and I know that people as groups do make that change at one point or another.

I just don't see a lot of that change lately.

I undersand what you are saying. But I wont turn my back on this cause, I'll find a way. I appreciate your honesty on the subject though, what you say is true. In the meantime, I will continue to spread awarness about it.

We can spread awareness, but there's nothing we can do to help them all. That's all I'm saying.

Here's a good site for info, volunteer, and donations: Operation Sudan. Everyone ought to know what's going on, even if they can't help. I can't help at the moment, but I can let people who may be able to help know what is happening to their fellow man. We should treat all human rights issues and genocides the same. None is more important than the other. It's all unjust death, and we need to move towards eradication of such actions.

Okay. Starting off, I'm horrified by what's happening in Darfur.

Second, my sister's currently involved in a humanitarian aid for Darfur. But there's nothing that they can do for them. You want to give aid to the people in Darfur, you go on the plane and do it yourself. That's the problem that my sisters' group is running into. Even the Red Cross has pulled out. There's no way to SEND the aid.

You're welcome to go to Darfur, but if you're not going to do that, stop bugging us. It's disgusting, but let's turn our efforts to the people that we CAN help. It's not that it shouldn't be done. It CAN'T be done.

For example, another humanitarian group that my sister (and I) are involved in, sent Christmas presents to impoverished children in Belarus. That's something that COULD be done. Let's try things like that.

I agree playful.
Like Marin Luther King Jr. once said.."Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

Those are only two options of what we can do. We need to think of others not just put up our hand and give up. These are real people, and they need help. I personally cannot watch another Rwanda happen. If our government can't do anything because of red tape then it has to be our initiative. We may not be able to stop the genocide, but we need to give aid to its victims who are currently living in a nightmare.

Then we should just let it happen?

There's nothing we can do. If we send money, the government will take it for themselves, and if we invade, the world will be up at arms.
