WHAT HAPPENED TO HUMAN RIGHTS?

I am supportive of the Obama Administration; however, their lack of attention to the matter of genocide on international lands has taken a backseat to domestic issues. It is clear he needs to appoint his secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, to do what she does best. Get in people's faces and demand answers. Bringing this issue to the forefront of the media again so that Genocide and Human Rights Violations are brought to an end. Former President Bashar and war-monger has claimed a legitimate win in the Darfurian Elections, but his win is anything but legitimate. Bring the world's attention back to this matter and demand his relinquishment of power.

Sign the Petition. Demand Darfur Justice.

The Humanitarian Hybrid.

A minor improvement? Or Delay... Peacekeepers from the United Nations is the appropriate action to take. A hybrid UN and AU team of Peacekeepers has been allowed to enter Darfur, Sudan. So far so good. We'll see if they make it there or not. And where these "peacekeepers" are actually coming from is another question entirely. But it does seem like a positive step.

However, as hopes rise, doubts do as well. Humanitarian aid workers who have been around long enough to see this strategy work its way out before raise doubts as to the genuine effort being put forth by the Sudanese government.

The hybrid connection between African Union workers and United Nations Workers is a noteworthy cause and even though the best interest of the nation may not be the most important concern for Kig Abdullah, it is beginning to be for the international community. Potential agreements cause stirs, stirs cause attention.

Attention will undoubtably cause actions or so we activists would like to hope. So whether the intentions of this agreement were met by honorable eyes on both sides is practically irrelevant in some sense. Should this agreement fail, I believe we would see an even larger momentous force brought about by the international community and the worlds people becoming more willing to sacrifice what we have to save the lives of the 2.3 million IDP's and Refugee as well as giving peace of mind for the lost lives of nearly 400,000.
