In early 2003, the struggle for land and power in the western Sudanese region of Darfur erupted into violence between Sudanese government forces and rebel groups protesting the marginalization of the region's black African ethnic groups by the Muslim central government. Arab militias (Janjaweed) supported by the government soon began enacting policies of ethnic cleansing--including forced displacement and starvation, murder, torture and rape--against Darfur's civilian population, leaving hundreds of thousands of people dead and more than 2 million expelled from their homes. Stop the overlooking and showing apathy towards the world , there's more to the world than just the United states. People all over the world are crying out for are help, but we ignore them because we have not suffered yet. Put yourself in other countries economic problems, political problems, and great depression. We have it easy! The United States is an independent state that shows no consideration, and as Obama quotes "it's time to make a change" so lets start now and go and fight for peace.
