The Genocide in Darfur



THE SCORCHED EARTH

Katie and Renee

Never again, we said. Never again will we let the corruption of a government destroy a people. But with the echoes of Rwanda’s horrific history still hauntingly fresh in our minds, we are once again faced with another genocide. For six years now, villages in Darfur have been ethnically cleansed; the women raped, and all eventually are murdered. The United States and its allies have thrown nearly three billion dollars at the problem, but a solution will never come until specific, well-planned actions are made by the U.N. We must be committed to spreading awareness about Darfur, because only when the whole world has seen the grisly images of the mutilated carcasses will there be the drive to take the necessary actions against the heinous genocide.
