Darfur Now, Nothing Has Changed People Still Waiting and Dying

Darfur Now is a powerful documentary that unfortunately people aren’t going to see it. Sand and Sorrow is an HBO special on Darfur narrated by George Clooney. I’m not sure how many people saw that film, I haven’t seen the numbers. I still don’t understand, why people haven’t gotten upset, excited, and moved to do something about what’s going on in Darfur.

Nearly every basic right that we enjoy in this country is being taken away from the people of Darfur. It’s not enough that they were driven for their homes, or that their loved ones were killed. They are now made to live in tents and depend on strangers for their survival.

Not only are the physically drained, but mentally as well. What do the people of Darfur have to live for? When do the people of Darfur begin to loose hope?
