Louise Kiffer Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Europetition DarfourUS, French citizens and Europeans, let us not remain a long time any more indifferent and passive vis-a-vis the true war against the civilians which is currently held in Darfur, in the west of Sudan. The Sudanese army and the militia janjawids massacred by whole villages, mainly because of their black “African” identity, their fellow-citizens furnaces, massalits, zaghawas… who constitute the majority of the six million inhabitants of Darfur. Some speak about the first genocide of XXIe century. Already 400.000 men, women and children innocent died. Tens of thousands of people were violated, tortured and terrorized. More than two million and half of others were driven out from them. Each hour, each day, the number victims increases! UNO qualified the exactions made against the populations of war crimes and of crimes against humanity, and seized the International penal court. The humanitarian action is intentionally blocked by the Sudanese government: of ONG were thus obliged to suspend their programs and to leave the zone, when they were not quite simply expelled. Today according to the United Nations observers, more than two million and half of refugees or displaced persons do not have or more access to the international assistance and from now on are exposed to died by malnutrit ion and disease. This unbearable situation which perdure with Darfur destabilizes even more this already weakened area and worsens other humane disasters in Chad and in Republic Central African. The world in which you and I live and in which The Counselors Academy functions is characterized by crises, by surprises, by new opportunities, by lost opportunities, by sands that shift and by two waves that are never exactly the same. The companion who walks at our side every hour of every business day is called by the name, Change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Kiffer Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I had translated several years ago an interview of Nicolas Kristof by Khatchig Mouradian in Aztag daily.The situation in Darfour has not changed. Nicolas Kristof was of armenian origin. That's why he decided to do something for Darfur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
