well oh ye kossaks, I need your help again...
as someone who is constantly bothered by GENOCIDE in Africa, I got into a revealing online discussion with a good leftie who spoke of the complications that not only involve the complex regional issues in Africa, but also the VERY scary/dirty US trickery in backing certain players because of
OIL (darn that pesky old fossil) interests that complicate the horrors of the millions dead & displaced there.
So I'd like to know what yall think about this... the revelations with the other online discussion were, well, about as sad as the horrors themselves.
Lastly, I'll be NAIVE as can be & just paste my call to recent action here & hope that no one finds it to be too much along the lines of "do-gooder" postings, as I'm convinced that many kossaks will give a damn & visit the website from my naive activism which I will post below:
--from my emails to a few other activist lists:
Well oh ye friends & humans,
as a Jew,
I have always remembered our 20th CENTURY refrain.....
after the Holocaust we said "NEVER Again" ;
yet today----
because they are poor, black & African,
the world cares less for
GENOCIDE
in AFRICA
than it does
for Oil & the all-powerful Consumerism.....
how can we stand for this as humanity??
..make a difference here:

'Sudanese Government
Preventing
Work of Rights
Defenders in Khartoum'
"The Sudanese government is using new legislation
and other forms of harassment
to prevent human rights defenders
from doing their essential work.
The Organisation of Humanitarian and
Voluntary Work Act of March 2006 and
other measures are
preventing national and international organizations
from collecting or publishing information
on human rights conditions.
These measures also interfere with efforts by
aid workers to assist the country's large
internally displaced population..."

---PLEASE

this to ALL your pals;
--IGNORING the horrors of GENOCIDE is to be
COMPLICIT
in the
madness.
