The deeper I became engaged in issues related to Darfur, the more I realized that there is no way to understand the crisis in Darfur without understanding its historical, political and geographic contexts.

Rebuilding Hope (www.RebuildingHopeSudan.org) in many ways grew out of my first documentary film and book, Darfur Diaries (www.darfurdiaries.org). The deeper I became engaged in issues related to Darfur, the more I realized that there is no way to understand the crisis in Darfur without understanding its historical, political and geographic contexts—and these contexts very much include South Sudan.

In this segment, people from Darfur and South Sudan explore the connections between the two regions of Sudan, including how people of Darfur were used by the government in Khartoum against Southerners much the way that Janjaweed militia were later used against Darfuris.

  • There is no doubt that islam is slowly destroying Africa.

    This death cult political dogma is an abomination on the whole world but it is in Africa where it will eventually die.

    When Africa rises again and kicks the ass of islam, it will show its true spirituality, culture and power, and the whole continent will

    flourish and eventually give birth to a new democracy that will spread across the whole world.

    Islam is mental slavery - let us stone it to death.

  • The problem is there is OIL IN DANFUR people want the money .........don't tell me other bull shit !
