Conclusion! Last Post!

Hey all! Thanks so much to ever actually read my blog, i felt that i shed some light on a situation that people are not always aware of in our world. I hope that I have opened some of your minds and hearts to the people of Sudan, send your prayers to the people who suffer there everyday, it is needless suffering as you probably already know based on my posts. Do your own research on this issue! I was very tentative to take it at first because I knew absolutely nothing about what was actually going on, and now i feel like I have opened my mind to an entirely new aspect to our world, thanks for reading! Happy blogging!

Civil War in Sudan

I found this video on youtube and I watched the entire thing, it's a little long but i find that it is a really great summary of what is going on in Sudan and the events that the common citizens face on a day-to-day basis

Political Cartoons

I was looking around the internet for some interesting political cartoons that depicted what was going on and i found two that i really like: 

This also refers to a post i had earlier, about the fact that no one is choosing to step in, and when they do, it will be to late. The grave of the victims of genocide in Sudan is evident in this picture, and it is extremely large, to depict the 200,000 thousand victims at the time the cartoon was created. The United States is depicted through George Bush, standing on the grave of the Sudanese. He states, "okay, time to do something about this problem," that symbolizes that the rest of the world will only realize that they must do something about Sudan if they are standing with bodies at there feet. Unless a giant grave is placed in front of them, and the issues are made even more obvious than they already are, other nations in the world could care less about what goes on in Sudan, and if they say they do, they are lying. 

 

I also discussed this issue earlier, the government is punishing the innocent. The people of Sudan are portrayed through the teddy bear, all chained up and not able to get away from the situation. The Sudanese man whipping the bear is representative of the the military/ government and the injustice that they are inflicting upon there own people. It really represents how stupid the situation is, who would punish a teddy bear? One of the most innocent and child like creatures in our world, yet the evil that is the government in Sudan feels nothing when it comes to the punishment of there own citizens, they have done nothing wrong!

Sudanese Child Soldiers

A growing issue throughout the world is the issue of child soldiers, this is as evident, if not more evident in Sudan than any other nation in the world. There are said to be as many as 6000 child soldiers within Sudan, some being as young as 11 years old. Imagine what you were doing when you were 11? I don't know about any of your readers out there but i certainly don't recall forfeiting my childhood to become part of the military.

The fact that the majority of these child soldiers were kidnapped and forced to wield a weapon and to kill others is sickening in my opinion. Look at this picture:



Does that look like a cold blooded killer? No, it doesn't. Look at the expression on his face, does it look like he enjoys holding that gun and fearing for his life everyday?

The military in Sudan is using children, robbing them of there lives in order to fight a pointless war. Child Soldiers are yet another issue in Sudan, which contains a seemingly endless list of imperfections and short comings.

Why has the World Turned a Blind Eye to Sudan?

As I mentioned in my previous post, the United States doesn't really care about how Sudan is doing or what they can do to help them, it is all about furthering there own power in the world, however, if other nations seem to care so much about what is going on in Sudan why has nobody stepped in to stop the injustice and crimes against humanity that are presently occurring there?



This picture sums up the situation, the world sees what is going on, "genocide?", yet they don't do anything about it, "nah...not yet". When will the world finally step in and stop the injustice!

I dont think it will happen anytime soon, due to the fact that Sudan is not presenting itself as a threat to the rest of the world. An example of this is North Korea, they emit threats of nuclear war and violence in general, which allows them to ask the world for whatever they want and get it, a way for the world to appease Korea and make them stay inactive. Sudan is not a threat, they can't get anyone's attention because they are not a threat to anyone else's way of life or safety, as long as it stays within there borders, everyone will continue to ignore the crisis in Sudan.

The American's Role in Sudan: Are They Helping For the Right Reason?

As we all know, the States like to get involved in everyone else's business, they go wherever they please and seem to do what ever they like. Sometimes I believe that they place themselves in certain situations for all the wrong reasons, and I believe that being in Sudan is for all the wrong reasons.

Many humanitarian forces and peace keepers in the United States are legitimately backing Sudan and wish to do anything and everything to help, sadly, these people are not in charge of the country. The people in charge of the country have gone into Sudan with the illusion that they will help with the crisis that they are facing, from genocide, to food, to government corruption, the United States will be there, when in reality, they have a different agenda. 

Sudan contains oil refineries, and the Sudanese government have denied the U.S. access to these refineries because they don't want to give more power to the United States. They believe that this resource is the one thing that is providing there country with income, and to allow the U.S. to get involved would basically end there control over the oil market. 

As i said before, the U.S. doesn't really care about helping Sudan, they have turned a blind eye to what is going on there, and my opinion is that if they can't get what they want from Sudan, they will use force to obtain power over the oil market, because no other nation in the world really cares about the injustice that is occurring in Sudan. I'll lead into my next entry on that note, does any other nation really care about Sudan?

Genocide in Sudan

Hey readers! I hope you all have enjoyed my posts so far as there will a lot more to, well, tonight anyways. I wanted to shed some light on possibly the most prominent issue within Sudan and more specifically in Darfur, where genocide remains a pressing issue.

Many African farmers and other Sudanese people are being murdered and displaced, on a day to day basis, some 100 people are killed. Overall, the entire genocide has killed nearly 400,000 people and displaced over 2,500,000.

Th government has turned a blind eye to this travesty occurring within there own borders, and has actually been accused of promoting the genocide, which I mentioned in my previous post. They are said to have sponsored the Janjaweed militia group to intimidate those who live in Darfur by using tactics such as rape, displacement, organized starvation, threats against aid workers and mass murder. The genocide is occurring because the people are not complying with what the government wants, and the Sudanese government feels that the best way to control there people is to not give them a voice, but to murder them instead. This has not turned out in there favour however, it has caused them to be charged with crimes against humanity and faced with looks of disgust from virtually all other nations. 


Thats it for now, just a little into into the most pressing issue in Sudan, more to come later for sure! Thanks for reading!
