For those who are not sure what is happenning in Darfur, or do not know, or do not want to know the genocide running in Darfur need to know it!
What you want to call the mass killing, mass tortue, mass raping, mass..., mass.... that all happening in Darfur? what you call burning villeges of specific ethnic groups in whole regioon?
What is enthic cleansing? It is "the violent elimination or removal of people from a country or area because of their ethnic backgrounds, by means of genocide or forced expulsion"
Killing over 400, 000 people of specific ethnic groups (Zaghawa, Fur, and Masalit" is not ethnic cleansing? Pulling out over 2,000, 000 people out of their villeges is not ethnic cleansing?
Do Not tell me that these are "just murders"!!
Thank you for those who are trying hardly to bring the running genocide (ethnic cleansing) in Darfur to the front everyday.
For those who denying it, please first be educated of the facts.

Thank you for keeping this story alive and in front of the American people...it is of paramount importance that that, you, the mainstream media cover this. Thank you Ann Curry for your courage and commitment to this cause.

Dearest Ann,

I would like to take this opportunity to say how excellent and superb your reporting was in "Crisis in Darfur". It was full of compassion and warmth, and it deeply touched my heart. You most certainly outdid yourself.

I hope you have a lovely afternoon !!!

Is there anything or any organization or government that is making some positive progress in influencing these dynamics to make a true change towards reduction of the horrid genocide and abuse of vulnerable people in Darfur? Who can we support? Who needs more public awareness of their eforts and support in making a real difference?

Equally important who or what is impeding effective diplomatic or economic pressure on the government of Sudan? Whom the whole world knows is responsible for the crimes and impeding even safe humanitarian efforts to care for those they wish to drive out of their own homeland.

What more can those of us who do care, do to help you and those who have the courage to report and act?

Thank you for your obvious sincere committment to caring about humanity and the vital role you in the objective media play in making a true difference.

Ann,

I believe that your willingness to put yourself at the scene, and report factually speaks volumes as to your commitment to gathering and reporting the truth. Too often today it seems we rely on "feeds" as fact, and then we end up like we have in Iraq.

Such a brave woman, and excellent reporter. I for one will never say "stay safe" and "out of harms way", because I firmly believe that is exactly where the truth lies! There will always be risk in reporting the truth!

Thanks, and Godspeed in your journey!

The world must understand that solving the Darfur problem will not be
easy. Throwing money at the problem will probably buy more weapons
instead of food. We are not the ones to solve this problem. This is
a problem for the (hold your breath) Coalition of the Acceptable!
That's right! Germany, France, Canada, Mexico, Egypt, Libya, and
Sweden need to step up and stop the genocide right now (along with the rest of the Coalition of the Acceptable shown on my blog.) The U.S. need
not throw itself into another Muslim-majority country which is mostly
surrounded by Muslim-majority countries. It's someone else's turn.
If we send money, it will be used to kill. If we send troops, some of
them will be killed. Hillary Clinton has sponsored a noble amendment
(S. 2766) to require the President to report to Congress regularly on
the situation but that will only make us look more foolish and
irresponsible. It's someone else's turn, and it's going to have to be
done forcefully. Sudan will not allow NATO, the U.N., or the A.U. to
be involved. What does that tell you? The government of Sudan is
happy the way things have been progressing for the past three years
while the world watched it happen. Rwanda...never again! Right.
Kofi Annan announced on 12/04/2006 that Darfur is a priority along
with "one or two other issues" to him until he leaves his post on Dec.
31st. I don't suppose that one of those other issues is making copies
of documents to be included in a upcoming book surely to be written.
It's time for someone else to stop the genocide. We helped to stop
two genocides before. The third time is definitely not the charm.

I love the quote: "Every war is a defeat for all of us!" Even the preparations for war (likely over a trillion world wide a year) is costly to us all.

War (as some think) is FAR from a good economic policy, the ideal jobs program, or some sort of perverse method of population control. Although some technical innovations are spurred by military development, such things can be equally derived from a more robust space program, extensive scientific research, and from within civilian industry itself. Using such myths and perverse reasons to justify warfare has allowed us to be all too comfortable with what essentially amounts to organized mass murder. Believing that war is somehow inevitable or perhaps even good, is a dangerous path to tread in a world so utterly chockfull of AAMD (Arsenals of Absolute Mass Destruction). In the end, I believe we’ve given up far too easily on trying to find a better path to peace. We are better than this!

To somehow avert warfare, we must first understand our own human weaknesses. We must realize that things like blind nationalism and hatred are “emotions” (NOT religious attributes) all too easily provoked in our species regardless of race, religion, political background, or some perceived high standing. No one is immune! No nation can ever be fully assured that genocide will not happen within their borders or that its armies will not attempt to dominate the world by force. As it stands, we only think we are an advanced/god fearing society. However, we’ve yet to solve very many of the world’s problems and are creating that many more as we go. When will society decide to address its food, water, energy, education, healthcare, environmental, and housing concerns? Those are measures of how good a society is, not who has the biggest M.O.A.B. bombs and most deadly stealth aircraft.

Please stop using the term "ethnic cleansing", killing of one ethnic group by another is not cleansing!! it's murder. The term usually used is genoside which also should be changed to murder. All it like it is.
