Google Darfur 28 minute version

Since 2003 militias known as the Janjaweed under orders from the sudanese government have killed over 200,000 civilians and another 2.5 million have been forced into refugee camps.

In a bid to secure their oil interests inside of sudan and chad, many of the worlds major governments pour weapons and cash into the region and remain passive to the growing carnage allowing the violence to spread further into neighboring chad.

Frustrated by the situation, in February 2007 Matt Bowen from Canada and Robert Simental from the US traveled to Eastern Chad. This is the story the captured.

Darfur is back in the news again, while American understanding of the situation has not improved. So we felt it a good time to bring this video to our viewers.

Director Robert Simental made this special 28 minute version of the film just for Indymedia Presents. For the full 97 minute version of the film visit http://www.GoogleDarfur.com

@howzindahouse you have no idea what you're talking about. Why don't you get on a plane and go there and see for yourself. Don't tell me its not possible because I did it. Until then you're just spewing hunches and I haven't got time to argue with someone who has a hunch about things when I know otherwise.

I agree that Bush and Cheney should be prosecuted by the ICC and it is very hypocritical and damning to the ICC that they have not been- That being said, it doesn't make Bashir innocent.

glasz77@ Oh my you realli are deluded arent you i guess your one of the those nitwitted save darfur zionist groups arent you?, Why shud he represent the icc? interesting enough the man talking in dis vid is from the so called america that has killed, masscared and destroyed millions of countries so dont cum on here and say bashir is dictator blah blah!

The west have no clue about whats going on so they live on lies such as this whole myth africans v arabs which utter garbage,

[glasz77]

@howzindahouse, WOW!! so the ICC charges against Omar Bashir are false? Maybe you should represent him in court, you obviously have all the answers. Your deep insight could easily clear up this matter and rest the minds of all the millions of refugees who have fled their homes and villages over nothing more then as you put it "hype".

Hidden agendas may exist and most certainly probably do- but you don't get millions of people to live in refugee camps because of "hype".

[howzindahouse]

No genecide........America and the west just hyping up the issue everybody knows they have hidden agendas their its obvious.
