How is this still going on? There have been so many genocides in the past 100 years and each time we say it will never happen again. But we know it is happening right now in Darfur, and the world knows it is happening – so why are we so powerless to stop it?
In my own country of Ireland we have been able to silence the gun and bring communities together that we never thought imaginable. So why are we so unable to make headway in this part of the world?
To answer this question, we need to look at the situation in Darfur in a different way. If the world’s sympathy and our resolutions could bring peace and relief to the people of Sudan it would have arrived long ago. We can continue to call on an unresponsive government in Sudan to change its ways, or we can look at why the support for its intransigence continues. We must cut the lifelines that are fuelling the destruction in Darfur, lifelines like Chinese oil money and Russian weapons. Until we are willing to stand up to these powers our resolutions will remain impotent and ineffective."@en1
