The Crisis in Darfur, What's the Answer?

“The real question, therefore, is not why the crisis in Darfur persists, but whether we will collectively do what’s necessary to end it.” (savedarfur.org)

There have been books written about the subject, and movies, the newest being Darfur Now.

The effort persists, yet the violence continues. So, what’s the answer? Let people continue to be murdered, simply because of who they are? Do we say there’s nothing we can do, and not let their problems enter our thoughts?

We are paying for the it’s not my problem mentality with global warming, that is also a factor in the Darfur tragedy. The land that was once farmed has been decimated by drought. There is less land to farm, so the prime land is fought over.

I don’t know the answers, I just know if people are being mistreated, it’s wrong and I would want someone to speak up for me if I couldn’t speak up for myself.
