protests Out burst

On Wednesday of last week protests were held in three cities of northern Sudan. Their hope was to get fellow community members involved, but were not successful because the police broke up the protest using violence if necessary. The citizens within these cities were not even allowed to express themselves in their home town, because the government is afraid that the citizens will turn against them in order to end this chaos. Legal rights and restrictions are much different in Africa, which is part of the reason why no affirmative action has taken place. Key, “Witnesses reported small protests in Dillinj in South Kordofan state, Khartoum and Zalengei town in Darfur before police broke them up” (Darfuris hold anti-government protest in Sudan’s north). These types of confrontations occur all the time in Sudan and Darfur, because the government system set up their citizens up to die. ‘“These protests are against the restrictions on freedom imposed by this government which continues to kill innocent people,’ Darfur rebel Sudan Liberation Army spokesman Nimr Mohamed Abdelrahman told Reuters.” Then, “Khartoum blames the Western media for exaggerating Darfur’s conflict and does not recognize the ICC’s authority.” (Darfuris hold anti-government protest in Sudan’s north). The government officials in Khartoum must be the most ignorant, bullheaded morons, because they honestly think that what they’re doing is acceptable and legal. These government officials should be charged with killing millions of innocent African citizens. I feel that we as Americans need to spread awareness, and get others involved in order to make a difference. As we continue to spread awareness, our government will finally have the common sense to act to end the genocide in Africa. The genocide is spreading rapidly, and the only way to make a difference is by spreading awareness with friends, family, and other youth groups. It is an easy way to get involved, and makes a huge difference whether one believes it or not.
