SAVE DARFUR!!!

Darfur is a region in Africa where a massive Genocide is happening. Every day, hundreds of women and children are beaten, raped, or killed by Sudanese people and we are doing hardly anything to stop them. In the past 12 months, attacks on humanitarians has increased by around 150%.

In Darfur, the same government officials lit the match to ignite the genocide and fuel the chaos we are witnessing today. As the government’s divide and destroy policy envisioned, there is indeed increased fighting between and among communities, including among Arab groups which previously had worked together to destroy non-Arab villages. But this masks the more intentional, better-resourced, and well-camouflaged strategy of the Sudanese regime, within which many of those leading the fighting on the ground today in Darfur are but pawns.

With varying degrees of intensity, the regime and its assortment of militia allies and turncoat rebels continue to employ multiple tactics to achieve its objectives to destroy the Darfurian opposition, to permanently alter the demographics of Darfur, and to deny Darfurians a meaningful role in national politics, including:

* killings resulting from direct attacks against non-Arab civilians by Sudanese armed forces and allied militias;
* rape and sexual violence;
* forced displacement of civilian populations into camps;
* systematic destruction of livelihoods;
* aerial bombardments;
* resettlement of Arab civilians (including citizens of Chad and Niger) onto land belonging to the displaced; and
* anarchic conditions that prevent displaced persons from returning home and relief workers from saving lives.
