With the declaration from the UN that there will be peacekeepers on the ground in the coming months in Darfur, it is time for all citizens, not just concerned citizens, to step forward and make sure their voice is heard. It is time to make sure the government in Khartoum knows that the world is not going to allow them to sidestep or stall or flat out deny the UN from helping those in need.

What can we do right here in Central Nebraska? It is not what can we do? It is what we must do. We must help save ourselves. It is our humanity that is slowly lost when we turn a blind eye to the suffering of another. We must stand strong in the face of the Sudanese government's refusal to back down from this genocidal path.

Join with me Central Nebraska. Join with me in pushing for more. Pushing for a safe and secure life for those in Darfur. It is not enough to know that soldiers will be coming. Soldiers always leave. It is not enough to know that aid organizations will help. Aid organizations always leave.

The people of Darfur need to know they are safe in their sleep. They need to know that they can feed their children safely. They need to know the world has not forgotten them. They are asking for our help.

So what can we do right here in Central Nebraska? Write your Congressional leaders. Write an editorial for the paper, even if it is the local paper that only goes to 60 people. Wear the wrist band so that others ask about it. Do anything to bring more attention to Darfur.

A couple of days ago, I was reading an AP article about the increased attacks by janjaweed vermin (janjaweed is the term for the militia group unofficially sponsored by the Sudanese government out of Khartoum- janjaweed translates to "demons on horseback")against aid convoys which are trying to bring food to the people of Darfur. In this article, it said that the office in the U.N. responsible for humanitarian aid planned to send 500 tons of food to Darfur at the cost of half a billion (500 million) dollars.

That's a million dollars per ton, or $500.00 PER POUND.

Sometimes, when I read things like that, I think I'm going crazy. $500 per pound for food relief is as crazy as hearing that a committee of 412 grasshoppers with super powers has taken over a Wendy's restaurant, or that drinking raspberry fruit smoothies has been found to cure cancer and herpes. It's just insane. Never, ever, ever support the U.N. in any way- these are the same people who, for like 20 years, have ignored the tragedies going on in Sudan, always choosing to call the genocide going on "ethnic cleansing" instead, because the U.N. mandate says that they have to act if it's genocide, and they clearly didn't want to do anything about the rapes, mutilations, slavery, torture, and murders going on in Sudan/Darfur.

The U.N. is evil. Say it with me:

"The U.N. is evil."

If you want to give to a group that actually provides food at extremely low prices, try Life Outreach International (best one I've found), Food for the Hungry, or some other group. Any legitimate group out there is going to provide food for Darfur for 1% or less than what the U.N. is doing. I mean, for every $1,000 that comes into the U.N. for relief, do they just steal $990? What other reason could there be? I'm pretty sure that they aren't serving the people of Darfur Kobe beef smothered in beluga caviar, and if they are, THAT'S insane, too!

Central Nebraska, let us come together joining our efforts to raise awareness! Who is with me?!

What will it take for the people of Nebraska to see they are needed? To save the citizens of Darfur, Nebraskans need to take a stand. All Americans need to take a stand. It is up to the average person to step up and say, "This can not be allowed in the world I call my own."

Over two million people have been displaced by a violence that is not bordering on being genocide. It is genocide. When over half a million people were killed in one hundred days in Rwanda, the United States never declared a genocide. The government has declared the killings in Darfur as genocide. That revulsion you feel at the mention of the word genocide is not enough. It is not enough to watch the news and say, "Oh, those poor people."

Give up everything you own, even your home. Move from the home you've built to a tent. Yes, a tent. Thousands upon thousands of tents for those pushed from their homes by the violence in Darfur, Sudan. Live in a tent city that is filled with the dead, dying, and those afraid they will die tomorrow. This is not a pretty picture and yet we as Americans, Nebraskans, and Mindenites simply turn our eyes away since we are not personally affected.

When a local farmer falls upon hard times and can't harvest his own crop, his neighbors are there for him. Well, a neighbor needs our help. No, this neighbor isn't just down the road. You don't see this neighbor at the high school football games on Friday night or the volleyball games during the week. But this neighbor is in dire need. It is not their crop they will lose, but their life. An entire culture, an entire people, is being removed from this planet and their neighbors aren't doing anything to stop it.

Every death perpetrated by the Sudanese government, either directly or through the Janjaweed militia, is not only on their hands but on the hands of every person in Minden, Nebraska, America, and the world that simply turns a blind eye. This world has grown too small for anyone to believe they are separate from this violence. So take a stand. Learn all you can about Darfur. Support those causes that speak to your heart. Do something to aid the refugees of Darfur. And do what you can to spread the word about the first genocide of the 21st century.
