Darfur.

Today I would like to discuss the situation in Darfur, a region in Western Sudan. According to some genocide is occuring, but why is no one taking action. This entire event could have been, and still can; be completely avoided if we werent so indesicisive. I'm not blaming the United Nations for this atrocity but I'm just saying it could've been prevented. the real people at blame are the Janaweed (sorry for spelling errors) and the Government of Sudan. The Janaweed because obviously they been killing and raping a huge amount of innocent people. The government because they employed the janaweed and practically payed the janaweed to do this. Also the Government prevented the United Nations from intervening. Another person who's in a way responsible is China. China supplyed the weapons for Sudan, and also continually vetoed resolutions that called for action in the United Nations. And finally the other nations of the world. While they were not as directly involved in this as others they could have stepped in. They could have ended this years ago but they didn't. For this they are partially responsible for Darfur even though they didn't kill or rape anyone. I hope this blog helped everyone better understand the situation in Darfur and my opinion of it. Signing off, Kyle Ford, have a pleasent evening America.
