On the Wikipedia page War in Darfur my adjustment was up for a few days but then it was deleted. I didn't know that you could do that though so at least I learned something.

The link to the Wikipedia Site:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Darfur

The name of the Wikipedia article that I contributed to is "War in Darfur" and the link is:


My contribution:
The war in Darfur has been going on since 2003, there is lack of responsibility taken by the International community. In Darfur about 5,000 people die everyday. The Janjaweed, who are sponsored by the government, rape, murder and organize starvation in the Darfur region. The International community has attempted to make a peace deal but may have actually increased the violence in Sudan.

This video is heartbreaking. Although I didn't learn anything particularly new, this video still shocks me with how little is being done for these civilians. They are killed, raped and displaced from there homes just because of their ethnicities and I am appauld by the lack of response by the International Community. Countries including the United States seem to be talking a lot but their is no action being taken. These people don't need words, they need help.
