Today, President Bush called for the government of Sudan , particularly Sudan President Bashir to stop the violence occurring in Darfur. He has also made threats stating that if no action to stop the situation, U.S. sanctions against the country may be enstated. This comes after pressure from humanitarian agencies calling on Bush to draw more attention toward the situation in Darfur. The Bush Adminstration has refered to the killings in Darfur as "genocide", but no significant action has been made by the U.S. government.
Hmm..well this is a step. as a college student, i feel lucky enough to know that we might have the power to draw more and more attention toward this problem, which is genocide. but i still feel that more attention by the United States government is absolutely necessary. i am happy that President Bush has decided to take this step, but i just hope that he will be able to follow through.
