Friday, March 09, 2007 Untold
by Cynthia Jones
When ink is not enough to ease our worried mind
our soul bleeds until the paper is red.
So colored with the anger drenched inside
with feelings of freaking dread.
Disillusioned and conned for all that it's worth,
and not received a dime.
It is fine, the words are there for proof,
and confirm the malice in time.
The words are blurred, emotion is brave,
and all is uncovered for view.
It is the reason that does give way, to
expose the forbidden truth.

Monday, March 05, 2007 Darfur is a region of far western Sudan, bordering the Central African Republic, Libya, and Chad. It is divided into three federal states within Sudan: Gharb Darfur (West Darfur), Janub Darfur (South Darfur), and Shamal Darfur (North Darfur). It is currently in the midst of an ongoing humanitarian crisis originating from the conflict between Janjaweed militias and rebel groups (namely the Sudan Liberation Movement and Justice and Equality Movement)The Darfur conflict is an ongoing armed conflict in the Darfur region of western Sudan, mainly between the Janjaweed, a militia group recruited from the camel-herding tribes of the Abbala, and the mostly agricultural non-Baggara people of the region. The conflict began in July 2003. Unlike the Second Sudanese Civil War, which was fought between the primarily Muslim north and Christian and Animist south, in Darfur most of the residents are Muslim, as are the Janjaweed. The Darfur Peace Agreement signed May 5, 2006 hoped to end the conflict, but fighting has continued nonetheless.
Do what you can to get informed about this situation. You can check the Wikipedia for details, do a google search keyword Darfur and visit those that blog on this subject to keep the public up to date.
