Darfur has more deaths than recorded
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

The past few years, there has been a humanitarian crisis in Darfur. African tribespeople began to complain about descrimination from the government, and the government responded with a militia that killed many tribespeople. Human rights workers have been in Darfur, trying to help the situation but in the last two hears it has not necesarily better, and some say it has actually gotten worse. Counts from international organizations said that the deaths in Darfur counted up to two hundred thousand, but recent counts put that figure up to as many as three hundred thousand. In the last few days the food supplies have been cut in half and the tribespeople are still forced everyday to leave their homes and flee to a safer place. Lately there has been increased support by the Sudanese government, but aid workers still dont have enough access to be able to get into the country and help the people who are suffering.
The situation in Sudan and Darfur is one that makes me really sad. Although people are doing whatever they can to help the problem, none of the fixes have worked out for very long and I am beginning to lose hope that there will not ever be a peaceful solution to this crisis.

Greetings
Jill,

I just stumbled across your blog. You've got some interesting political commentary here. Just what I might have expected for a SCHWEISSING.

Are you in college yet? Or are you still at home?

Give my greetings to your parents!
