I detest the idea of posting such an ugly article on my blog, however, I have no choice as this seems a familiar story. One which was being reported in the years up to the genocide occurring in Rwanda in 1994, but the world remained silent. My one major criticism of Clinton was his failure to respond to the violence occurring during those years leading up to and during the tribal brutality.
The rape was one of the first methods of torture/intimidation used by the Hutu's used against the Tootsies. Not long after, the genocide began.

Certainly, we can't ignore the violence still raging in Darfur even though it's been out of the media limelight for several months now.

I don't have the answer for how to stop the mass desecration of life, it is beyond my comprehension. I only know that information is the place to start.
