Italian Blogs for Darfur
2008-06-10 08:40:00 Italian Blogs for Darfur, campagna on-line del movimento italiano per i diritti umani in Darfur, dopo "Una vignetta per il Darfur - diamo colore all'informazione", ha chiesto anche ai fotografi on-line di dedicare una loro creazione al Darfur, interpretando il motto dei bloggers di Italian Blogs for Darfur: "Io bloggo per il Darfur". Gli scrittori della rete cercano in questo modo di colmare il vuoto di informazione lasciato dai media tradizionali italiani, con la speranza che il nostro appello alle maggiori emittenti televisive venga accolto al più presto. Alessandro Branca, fotografo a Milano dal 1992, è il generoso artefice del primo contributo pervenutoci, pioniere di quella che speriamo diventi una ricca galleria: la foto ritrae la pittrice Jole Noemi Marischi, che ha dipinto per l'occasione la tela inquadrata, che blogga per il Darfur! Il procuratore capo del Tribunale Penale Internazionale, Luis Moreno Ocampo, ha presentato...
Another North-South Sudanese Conflict?
2008-06-05 01:10:00 BBC: Armies ?head for central Sudan?BackgroundSudan has been a nation of conflict ever since it gained independence from Great Britain. First, it was the north versus the south. The south, which is mostly Christian and animistic, fought two incredibly bloody civil wars to gain autonomy from the government-controlling, Sharia law-imposing, Muslim and ?more Arab? north. The conflict finally ended in 2005 after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement was signed, giving the South more autonomy and the possibility of secession after a referendum in 2011. However, more recently, genocide backed by Khartoum in the western region of Sudan, Darfur, has received much more media attention. That does not mean the conflict between the North and South did not continue ? far from it.Recent escalations have occurred after new fighting in Abyei, an oil rich region. Control over the region has been a major point of conflict between the North and the South since the peace agreement was signed.What can be do...

News: US presidential candidates united in support of Darfur
2008-05-29 02:37:00 There don't seem to be many issues that the US presidential candidates Clinton, Obama and McCain agree upon, but one which caught my eye: their stand against Sudan and the genocide in Darfur.Extract from their statement:After more than five years of genocide, the Sudanese government and its proxies continue to commit atrocities against civilians in Darfur. This is unacceptable to the American people and to the world community.We deplore all violence against the people of Darfur. There can be no doubt that the Sudanese government is chiefly responsible for the violence and is able to end it. We condemn the Sudanese government?s consistent efforts to undermine peace and security, including its repeated attacks against its own people and the multiple barriers it has put up to the swift and effective deployment of the United Nations-African Union peacekeeping force. We further condemn the Sudanese government?s refusal to adhere to the terms of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) th...

Seeking relief from the sight of masses of people starving to death, he wandered into the open bush. He heard a soft, high-pitched whimpering and saw a tiny girl trying to make her way to the feeding center. As he crouched to...

Darfur–Another Iraq Looming Ahead?
2008-03-14 08:12:00 The legacy of George Bush continues haunting efforts to bring stabiliy to many areas of the world. His lies, incompetence, and bravado have transformed the United States into among the most distrusted nations in the world. Sudan officials claim their nation does not believe any statements made by American leaders. Former Foreign Minister Suliman Aba Salih, exclaimed: “The US says it is not against Islam, but it lies. If their policies do not change they will destroy Sudan politiically, diplomatically, and economically.” There is no question Sudan officials have been engaged in nonstop lying about the janjawed and their genocidal policies in Darfur. But, correspondingly, few nations now trust the word of George Bush. There is growing concern the lack of a coherent political or military plan for handling the Darfur issue may result in an incremental process that would only create low scale and eventually high scale militant operations against a UN or African Union armed f...

Yes, apparently the liberal elites around the world believe that the religious and tribal genocide, where women and children are murdered senselessly, is due to half of a degree increase in temperature… …What make me so enraged when I hear this is because blaming Darfur on global warming has little to do with the climate, and more to do with blaming the United States for the World’s problems. The EU report on this matter stresses the importance of multilateral leadership notably among the major G8 nations and UN bodies. If you were wondering when the time was to get out of the United Nations, right now sounds very prudent. (source)
