Sunday October 21, 2007 I attended the Olympic Torch Relay in Hartford, CT. Words will do injustice to the emotions I felt listening to the survivors of genocides speak of the horror they survived. There were survivors from past genocides in Rwanda, The Holocaust, Bosnia, Armenia, Sudan, and, Cambodia.
When you listen to their stories you wonder how anyone can stand by and watch as it happens again despite the hollow words of, “never again.”
The people of Darfur are not asking for a handout. The people of Darfur are asking not to be raped, and murdered.
Why won’t anyone protect them???
Visit savedarfur.org for locations of Olympic Torch Relays, and participate if you are fortunate enough to have one in your hometown.
