Whether it is telling the truth, doing chores, or helping a neighbor, every kid has the responsibilities, responsibilities to do the right thing. That’s also not too different with nations, and the world has the responsibility to help Darfur, and do whatever in its power to aide
Darfur with the genocide that its people are faced with everyday. For those of you that don’t know, there is genocide going on in
Darfur. Rebels are clashing with the government and it has escalated into a massive genocide that has killed many and forced many more to flee their homes. Just as a little kid has the responsibility to share, or tell the truth, the world has a responsibility to help countries that need help. A responsibility, to do the right thing. The genocide in the Sudanese province of
Darfur has been going on since 2003, and so far very little help has come. While aid groups have been sent, almost no violent action has been taken against the Janjaweed, the group that has most contributed to the genocide. One of the mainly obstacles in the way of getting soldiers in has been China, Who has consistently thwarted most efforts to help
Darfur. The main reason China has made help so difficult is that China is Sudan’s biggest supplier and buys most of their oil from
Sudan. However recently China has decided to start trying to help Darfur, the reason being the bad press China was getting over the 2008 Olympics, which will be hosted in
China.
If we want to help Darfur we need to take responsibility into our own hands, and as I have said everyone has a responsibility, one of those responsibilities is to help
Darfur. It doesn’t need to be a lot, it can be to raise awareness, or donate money, or even post on a comment on a blog.
