Dear Fellow Viewers and Advocates for Change,
This is the generic version of a previous video I uploaded regarding the ongoing genocide in Darfur. The previous edition was made for a particular school event, but this edition can be used freely by anyone in any institution in any capacity.
Regards,
Miki
The initial video can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhoV5iF3TiM
The world is once again faced with a horrific genocide, and people continue to give empty promises. NOW is the time to act...do something to stop genocide once and for all.

Here's a very brief history of Darfur, if you don't want to read/watch the above:
The Darfur province of Sudan is mainly comprised of Arab Muslims and African Muslims. The Sudanese government is primarily made up of Arab Muslims, and therefore they favor the Arabs in Darfur. For years the ethnic Africans had been given significantly less rights and resources, and finally in July 2003, a group of rebel Africans formed the Sudanese Liberation Movement (SLM) and attacked key governmental locations in Darfur. An Arab militia called the Janjaweed militia then emerged to counter the SLM, and began persecuting all ethnic Africans in Darfur. The Janjaweed is known for its notorious methods of suppression which include, but are not limited to, rape, torture, and murder. And it is evident that the Sudanese government is assisting the Janjaweed militia despite their continuous claims of innocence.
So basically the African Muslims are being killed or Driven out of Darfur at the hands of the Janjaweed (and the Sudanese government). UN military support to the region is minimal. Displaced Africans usually end up in refugee camps, many of which are located in the neighboring country of Chad. However, disease is rife in these camps and attacks by the Janjaweed are always possible, as the Chad/Darfur border is largely unguarded. Our donations will greatly help to improve the harsh conditions for the 2.5 million people in these refugee camps, providing vital resources such as medication, basic clothing, and food.
