Double Check

I felt the need to find specific information that should the Sudanese government breaking the law, by supoporting the Janjaweed or other rebel organizations.  I began to understand that the Sudanese government was has been caught purchasing weapons and other militarly equipment multiply times and also has been caught arming rebel groups. What I do not understand is how other countries can stand around and allow this type of behavior to occur right in front of their faces. There is documentation of the Sudanese government working against its own people and yet we allow the genocide to occurr. By not acting we are only making the situation in Darfur and Sudan worse. While researching I found an artilce called, Cyprus Intercepts Sudan Arms Ship, which was about how police caught a ship that was sailing to Sudan and then to Singapore. What amazed me was that this vessel was found and detained on June11, 2010, becasue this event occurred less than a year ago not even a year ago, which is clear evidence that the genocide is still occurring for those who do not believe it. While reading the article I read that, "A security source said authorities were investigating whether the cargo contravened a U.N. arms embargo on all armed groups operating in Sudan's Darfur region, the site of a seven-year conflict pitting government troops and allied militias rebel fighters" (Cyprus Intercepts Sudan Arms Ship). This vessel was found on June 11, 2010, containing military equipment, was essentail in saving citizens lives. Police investigated the situation and concluded that the armed ship was heading to Sudan. We need to cut off all supplies to Sudan and other parts of Africa who are known alliences with Sudan, in order to reduce the amount of military equipment, which would ultimitly reduce the amount of crime. There is so much corruption occurring right in front of our faces, which is why it is important to take the time and make sure that vessels and planes heading to Africa do not have any suplies that would prolong the gencide.
