Thread Name: The Horrors of Darfur
Subject: RE: The Horrors of Darfur
No one wants them to stay or return to their homeland. The people don't wish to leave. But just as importantly - no other country really wants them either and they will find many good reasons why these people should stay, suffer and die.

So what is happening and is what has always happened in these circumstances - is that women and children (just like us) will first suffer and eventually be killed (most of the men have already been killed).

While our Governments and official bodies play around with the meaning of words and we allow them to.........Then when it is too late and the full horror eventually is known or can't be denied any longer- everyone will wring their hands and say - 'well if only we had known'.

The world knew in 1942 that the few jewish people who did manage to escape the Nazi's mad intentions, would be returning to more suffering and certain death. That did not stop many counties from returning them at their borders - for the fear of the problem being passed to them.

When countries don't want certain groups of people and there is nowhere to escape to - the results are inevitable - whatever the word you chose to describe it.
