[LCM Articles] Message to President Bush and Secretary GeneralKofiAnnan

[Farid Abizeid]

Hello S and all,Please send me any news articles or reports that shows the lack of a humanitarian crisis in Darfur. I must admit that I might be brainwashed by all the one sided media coverage about the crisis in Darfur (including PBS and wikipedia articles). I do not want to send money to the wrong places. The email that was sent earlier was just a copy of a template that was provided by http://www.savedarfur.org (which was an Ad on cnn).I, on the other hand, completely disagree that we have to wait for a bunch of poor starving people living in houses of mud and tents to raise awareness by creating blogs or having the Darfur club at MIT organize a demonstration in downtown Boston before reacting.PS: This is not about Mrs Condi either !?!

2.5 million people? starvation, disease, and rape....I
doubt it

 

I cannot confirm how bad the situation is in Darfur since
the media coverage 

of what is really going on there is not clear

 

if Darfur's people cannot show the world what is really
going on..as we did 

in Lebanon or what we see in Iraq or to Palestinians,
then we cannot trust 

what Mrs Condi is saying.

Dear Friend,

 

Everyday, the 2.5 million people chased from their homes
in Darfur face the

threat of starvation, disease, and rape, while the few
lucky enough to

remain in their homes risk displacement, torture, and
murder.

 

We must continue to do all we can.

 

Would you join me in calling on President Bush and UN
Secretary General Kofi

Annan to do more?

 

Visit http://www.savedarfur.org to do so.

 

Thank you,
