Plight of the Darfur persona-grata

by chesimet

Darfur. The name brings shame, hopelessness, disgust, pain and sorrow.

Here lies the tragedy of what has become a killing desert of many children, women and men as the world watches or watches not.

Darfur remains the slaughter desert of those who are viewed as non-persona grata in their own country. A country divided by religion, race, ideology, greed, power, color, economy. Who cares in all these divide. Why kill? Why rape? Why killings? Why kill the weak, poor and innocent?

Why?

Genocide. Who cares what we call it. In all, lives have been exterminated, displaced, raped, and sacrificed in the altar of race/religion and alliances.

The stories that emerge from this African region makes one cringe, sick, cry, suffocate and ask all kinds of questions.

To those who have been silenced, these questions go on in pages, streets, radio, internet, survivors, victims, and the few merciful concerned.

How long sovereign God until you judge those who continue to shed the blood of Abel and the children? Yes, the blood of Abel cries for justice. The innocent blood of that girl who was raped, defiled and left to the sky scavengers in the desert cries and weeps for justice. God knows and those voices saturates the ever receptive ears of God of justice.

The world is silent and seemingly have crossed their hands as the Darfur victims “hang”. The clouds are dry. The sun scorches the people in camps of Jawilla.

The voices of those being raped have stopped crying for help-nobody can hear or nobody cares. The babies have cried their last as the breasts have stopped giving them any milk.

The mothers cracked lips beg for some UN donated food to replenish body so that the baby can have any nutrition. No trucks can get to the camp.

All means to have the tube of survival have been bombed and cut off.

Life has lost meaning.

The only noise or voice is from the sky scavengers and roaming desert scavengers waiting for the last victims to give last breath and they can move in for a meal.

Is the third day possible for these victims? Does the Easter mean anything to the victims of Darfur/

The streets of LA, Portland, London, Bucharest, Paris and Cairo were filled with parades mixed with weeps as the concerned joined in cries for justice in Darfur. Their voices continue to cry for justice and a halt to the genocide that has gone unchecked for so long.

The world reigns with injustice yet we know God is not oblivious to this injustice. He has unleashed His judgement and will dole out and bring all those Janjaweed, terrorist, indiscriminate killers who roam the desert, the street of Bahgdad, West Gaza Street Banks, Tamil regions, Kismayu/Mogadishu and all the fronts that have slaughtered Gods’ children.

There must be justice and judgement otherwise the pain is not worth going through.

The thoughts from the local resident.

Good story chesimet. Didn’t realize we had local connections to the sadness happening there.

A local politician has stated how disturbing it is to him the amount of money and time campaigns take. Locally, he would like to see a campaign cap of 3-4 weeks prior to election day. Canada has a 6 week cap for national elections.

On television commercials it should be required, a split screen with the running total of what the campaign has cost, so far and a picture of the candidate posing. The other half of the screen, a picture of Darfur, Kenya, Sudan, refugee camps, etc…

Pics of these candidates bringing their campaign funds to these camps, bringing media to these regions. Free media coverage, media coverage of what is happening in these areas and money actually making it all the way into these camps.

Campaign funds going into the Appalachian hills, into the slums of our meanest streets.

Until we prioritize, change how we think about each dollar spent, excusing those who waste it on a gross scale in the name of “democracy,” we are just as culpable as those who are physically raping the people and ravaging the lands.

The complexity of this conflict is staggering.

How do we even begin to know who we can trust and how we can best help these people?
