It's sad and frustrating that genocide AGAIN rears its head in Africa. This time it'sno less brutal. Worse still no one talks about it and no governmant no matter how liberal or conservative has stepped up to act against it. It's Rawanda all over again...
Oddly the only one who even want to touch the subject and get their hands bloody by it are religious organizations. No real shock given that they are often in the thick of such conflicts in Africa. With muslims vs. christians still the major factor in such conflicts it's very much like a modern crusade in a way...only with modern means of barbaric brutality.
Those engaging in such actions have also learned the lessons of how to conduct such killing effectively and to the point. Whole sale slaughter of families and bloodlines is the main goal since it's the best way to break the communities and clans that dominate such regions.
However this is all proving difficult to prove on the legal front since the government of Sudan is not exactly open with it's information. While horror stories leak out their is no "paper trail" to chase and prosecute.
This leaves many human rights organizations pleading for someone in a position of power to act...but no one will...and they won't any time soon. The U.S. does not want ANOTHER Somalia and neither do all the nations who were involved in that mission...most major European powers refuse to do anything that could make them look like the "U.S. in Iraq".
So what's happening? Well people are being killed...in ways that we were suppose to have stopped..."Never again" and all that. Seems that while we all know the lesson none are willing to act on it.
Funny how Genocide has become an issue no candidate in any nation wants to touch or deal with when ALL our morality and ethics say we should do all we can to stop it.
We're so civilized aren't we?
