Understanding Darfur

Understanding a grave situation like the conflict in Darfur is one thing; actually doing something about it is another. Sara Cartwright, Cooper, and Drima are three of the many bloggers I found while working on a project at work, and I salute them and their teams for their commitment to creating awareness about the crisis in Darfur and taking a step towards stopping the genocide and securing peace.

If you'd like to get a wider understanding about this issue, two documentaries called Darfur Diaries and The Devil Came on Horseback are now available on iTunes for download.

Through the voices of refugees, displaced persons, and in particular women and children, who are always among the most vulnerable in any conflict situation, Darfur Diaries seeks to provide space for the marginalized victims of atrocities to speak and to engage with the world.

An up-close, honest, and uncompromising look at the crisis in Darfur, The Devil Came on Horseback exposes this on-goig tragedy as seen through the eyes of one American witness.
