Genocide is happening today in Sudan
Genocide is happening today in Sudan
06/23/2004 03:18 AMKudos to Senators McCain and Dewine, who published an op-ed in the
Washington Post today calling for action to stop the genocide that is
happening in Sudan. The U.N. Security Council should demand that the
Sudanese government immediately stop all violence against civilians,
disarm and disband its militias, allow full humanitarian access, and
let displaced persons return home. Should the government refuse to
reverse course, its leadership should face targeted multilateral
sanctions and visa bans. Peacekeeping troops should be deployed to
Darfur to protect civilians and expedite the delivery of humanitarian
aid, and we should encourage African, European and Arab countries to
contribute to these forces. The United States must stand ready to do
what it can to stop the massacres. In addition to pushing the U.N.
Security Council to act, we should provide financial and logistical
support to countries willing to provide peacekeeping forces. The
United States should initiate its own targeted sanctions against the
Janjaweed and government leaders, and consider other ways we can
increase pressure on the government. We must also continue to tell the
world about the murderous activities in which these leaders are
engaged, and make clear to all that this behavior is totally
unacceptable. For all my anger at Bush's War on Iraq, this is a much
more important issue. A lot more people are going to die in the Sudan
if the world doesn't take action now....

the government in Khartoum and government-sponsored Arab militias
known as Janjaweed "bear responsibility" for rapes, killings and other
abuses that have left 1.2 million black Africans homeless.

Can we really let this happen again?
Ignore the genocide in Darfur,
Sudan, and a million people will die
07/23/2004 06:04 AM J Moore and others have done for the ongoing genocide in Sudan
something similar to what I did for SARS in its infancy. In May they
started a group blog, Passion of the Present and have been posting
news about the situation in Darfur, with links for more information,
daily. The site, Passion of the Present, is a great resource for
learning about what it happening in the Sudan, learning about efforts
to prevent the ongoing genocide, and suggestions for what people can
do to try and stop it. If you haven't seen it, check it out, link to
it, and write about it. In case you haven't heard of Darfur, as the
Mercy Corps home page says: it is the worst humanitarian crisis in the
world today. According to the United Nations, some 2 million people
are in desperate need of food and humanitarian aid, and the U.S.
Agency for International Development estimates 350,000 people could
die in coming months from starvation and disease. But this
humanitarian crisis is not the result of natural forces. It is the
result of a deliberate campaign by the leaders of the Sudan to destroy
the people of Darfur. So far, the campaign looks like it will be
successful. It is, as the US House and Senate voted tonight to
declare, Genocide. This is not a Democratic or Republican issue, nor a
conservative or liberal, issue. A people is being exterminated like
termites by their government. Until recently, the world has just
watched and made "naughty naughty" noises. Unless the world steps in,
hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, of people will die. For
those interested in the details, Human Rights Watch recently published
a lengthy report on the crisis in Darfur. If you prefer a more
impressionistic view, the NYT recently had a first person account of a
visit to the refugee camps. A small sample: Two weeks after Colin L.
Powell and Kofi Annan visited this part of Sudan in the hope that the
glare of diplomatic shame might arrest a human crisis, conditions are
still miserable. Days after the American secretary of state and the
United Nations secretary general ended their tour, witnesses said,
gunmen stormed a girls' school in the desert region of Darfur, chained
a group of students together and set the building on fire. The charred
remains of eight girls were still in shackles when military...

Another Genocide: What Can We Do?
Another Genocide: What Can We Do?

Holocaust
Memorial Museum says:
"For the first time in its
history, the Committee on Conscience of the United States Holocaust
Memorial Museum today declared a 'genocide emergency,' saying that
genocide is imminent or is actually happening in the Darfur region of
Sudan."
This situation shames humanity. It shames us
here in America, because we have the power to do something about it.
Yet a disaster of staggering proportions isn't deemed sufficiently
terrible by the people who launch wars under false pretenses in other
places.
I've just sent off a donation to
D
octors Without Borders, one of the many organizations working to
relieve the suffering of the survivors in Sudan. There are many other
organizations working there -- see
this page from
InterAction.
The magnitude of the crimes being committed in Darfur are almost
beyond comprehension. Please, if you're an American, contact your
members of Congress to ask for sterner
intervention, and make a humanitarian donation. It's the least we can
do.

06/19/2004 06:08 AMOn the plane returning from Helsinki to Tokyo, I read an op-ed in
the International Herald Tribune, Dare We
Call It Genocide? Please click the link and read it. It's short,
but an important perspective. People gloss over statistics and even
vivid first-hand accounts like this in text often fail to get our
attention. In fact, I remember thinking about blogging this article,
but it slipped my mind after I returned to Japan.
This morning I saw Tears of the Sun
starring Bruce Willis. This movie is about a heroic extraction mission
in Nigeria with ethnic cleansing as a backdrop. The movie itself and
its message were not that interesting, but the scene where people are
being murdered and raped by soldiers struck me emotionally and created
a visual image for me of the atrocities in Sudan. It sparked me to
search for and post the link above.
I think it's important to realize that motion pictures and videos
have an incredible impact on us emotionally. We've discussed the risks
of racial stereotyping in motion
pictures and some people have criticized me for citing shallow movies about
important issues. It is clear that movies play a huge role in
helping us (accurately or not) understand and care about cultures.
One thing I've noticed is that amateur films and flash are being
used quite effectively in political jokes and commentary on the Net.
There are copyright issues with many of the works, but I believe that
video blogging, (or whatever you want to call grassroots video
production and sharing) can play a very important role in raising
awareness on issues such as the genocide in Sudan.
Maybe we need to get Witness
and Passion of the
Present working together if they aren't already. Ethan?

Remember the Armenian Genocide
Remember the Armenian Genocide
04/14/2005 01:59 PM
"
Between 1915 and 1918 the Ottoman
Empire, ruled by Muslim Turks, carried out a policy to eliminate its
Christian Armenian minority. This genocide was preceded by a
series of massacres in 1894-1896 and in 1909, and was followed by
another series of massacres beginning in 1920. By 1922 Armenians had
been eradicated from their historic homeland." Since the early
1920s, successive
Turkish governments
have maintained an ostentatious silence on the subject, broken
only to issue denials that the genocide ever occurred, and
denunciations of those who assert that it did. In 1990, for example,
the Turkish ambassador to the U.S. dismissed the holocaust as
resulting from "a tragic civil war initiated by Armenian
nationalists."
This Sunday in NYC,
thousands will
gather to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the genocide and
protest the Turkish denials.

"There will be a purge on God’s orders, and

Rev. Sun Myong Moon, the owner and primary funder of money-losing
right-wing Washington Times, said last week. (The comments were posted
online by Rev. Moon’s webmaster and picked up by blogger John
Gorenfeld.) "Gays will be eliminated, the 3 Israels will unite. If not
then they will be burned. We do not know what kind of world God will
bring but this is what happens. It will be greater than the communist
purge but at God’s orders."

Becoming Evil : Boston
WTKK-FM radio's Jay Severin advocates genocide of American-Muslims
- this is the advocacy of domestic terrorism. And not the mere
targeting of civilians but the murder of over three million men,
women, and children.
Why shouldn't Jay Severin be arrested and
charged, under the Patriot Act, with aiding and abetting US domestic
terrorist groups which advocate such violence? [Scroll down
towards the bottom of the Globe story for a transcript of the quote in
context.]
James Waller has studied the process by which individuals
and society come to commit mass atrocities , and says of his theories:
"...[the] explanation simply allows us to understand the
conditions under which many of us could be transformed into killing
machines. When we understand the ordinariness of extraordinary evil,
we will be less surprised by evil, less likely to be unwitting
contributors to evil, and perhaps better equipped to forestall
evil."
