Obvious Crimes against Humanity are Happening without Response
Eric Reeves wrote a compelling piece for the South Sudan News Agency in which he details the profound failure of the international community to address the situation in Darfur, South Kordofan, and Blue Nile, the very same reason that I felt compelled to create Help Nuba. No excuse is a good one. The cause of the slaughter in South Kordofan is not the rebellion against the genocidal regime of Omar Bashir in Khartoum. The genocidal regime is the cause of the resistance. Attacks on non-Arab and non-Arabist Africans including Muslims in the southern part of Sudan have gone on and will go on regardless of whether or not the resistance continues. What will happen should the resistance be unable to continue to combat the regime in Khartoum is that the slaughter will worsen and instead of talking about the possibility of genocide occurring in the Nuba Mountains, we will be mourning in the aftermath of its occurrence.
Help Nuba
Shalom, Salaam, and Peace unto you who care to help!
I and others will regularly be posting articles to this blog so that those interested may keep up to date about the ongoing ethnic cleansing and potential genocide in the Nuba Mountains as well as about news of importance concerning South Sudan, Darfur, Blue Nile and Abyei. I hope that this site might be a central resource for news and opinion.
At this time of year, my people is act as if we ourselves journeyed from oppression and slavery to freedom and prosperity. We remember the tears of that journey in our souls, not merely in our prayers. We too remember the persecutions of our people throughout history, recalling destruction, exile, pogroms and genocide. We must also consider the suffering of others. We cannot sit idly by the blood of our brothers and sisters, whether they be Jews living in Israel or African Muslims in Darfur or in the Nuba Mountains.
May this effort help to bring awareness and peace.
