Your Peers in Sudan
(Filed under: Society)
This drawing, and the many others like it, are from children and teens who survived attacks by the Sudanese government and Janjaweed rebels in Darfur, Sudan. Women have been raped, villages bombed and burned, and a people exterminated. It's genocide.
The drawing above was made by Abd al-Rahman, Age 13:
"I am looking at the sheep in the wadi [riverbed, or oasis]. I see Janjaweed coming—quickly, on horses and camels, with Kalashnikovs—shooting and yelling, 'kill the slaves, kill the blacks.' They killed many of the men with the animals. I saw people falling on the ground and bleeding. They chased after children. Some of us were taken, some we didn’t see again. All our animals were taken: camels, cows, sheep, and goats. Then the planes came and bombed the village."
But you can do something about it. Take action. Tell your parents, your teachers, your friends. Write your government representatives and demand the intervention of peace-keeping forces.
