Paula Woodley, RN BSN Says:

I applaud PBS for airing this documentary “Heart of Sudan” I thank you, Aaron Brown, for debuting it.
New York Times, Journalist, Nick Kristof gets to the grass roots, of this genocide. As a Nurse, working for the UNITED NATIONS,UNIES this touches my heart, and reflects how we must continuously educate and take interest in the lives of human beings around the world, and stand together to resolve this tragedy. I am proud to see how the “United States of America”, has been the biggest donator of food to the refugees in Darfur. I hope there will be a sequel on this! For – “United we Stand, Divided we Fall”

Are people this ignorant as to continue to differentiate Sudanese people as “Arabs” and “Africans”? The last time I checked, a black person is NOT an Arab, so because the Northern folk speak Arabic as their primary language, which by the way goes the same for the entire Darfuris, what is this obsession about categorizing one people into two, distinct ethnicities?

There are only black Africans living in Sudan, and they all speak Arabic as their primary language (not including the South), so stop being so dumb people!

It is very sad that we as humans can be so cruel. The goverments whoever they are. Who do nothing or as little as possible to stop this from happening in Darfur is just as guilty as the hand that murdered these people. The blood of these people are on the goverments hands. Truthfully, If the world goverments allow this to continue, you are no different than Hitler. You’re just hiding behind your neutrality.

Please base your opinions on facts. Almost ever Iraqi family I know (and I know many) have at least one member of ther family who was killed, emprisoned, or torture by that bloody dictator Saddam (and you never hear about this in the media). And why should the Darfur situation be less UNDER-REPRESESNTED than that? It’s NOT an ARAB or NON-ARAB thing there is corruption everywhere in the world. The Sudanese government does not as much power as the US or Israel to reperess the voices criticising it’s opressive power. Sharon and Bush deserve as much punishment as Omar Bashir.

The issue of Darfour is not that big but, the media and the orgnization make look bad so they can befit from it , for example they say there is over 100,000 has been killed , can they show at least 1,000 bodys do they know how many miles those bodies can coverd
it is simller to what they been saying about Iraq and it became out it is all lies and now American are killing more than what they acuiesed Saddam
and i can bid any one tell me who is the Arab or who is the Africans, do any one of you know why they call them Arab ? because they only speack Arabic
do they look like Arabs ? No they do not .

While there may be legitimate reasons for conflict on both sides, the problem is the tactics pursued by the Sudanese government and its militia allies (and to some extent some of the rebel groups). The deaths, rapes and displacement can have no justification. Friends of mine with more knowledge of Sudan tell me the main problem is the concentration of development around al-Khartoum and Umm Durman, with the countryside (les provences) neglected. There are also rebellions and disturbances in other remote regions of the country. But this problem is widespread in developing countries, and I don’t know how to solve it. Regardless of the difficult policy options, however, humanity cannot tolerate killing, raping and displacement of non-combatants. But the U.N. (and the U.S.) should apply this principle elsewhere as well.

I couldn’t believe Aaron Brown sat there and said nothing when that loon at the end said the leaders were pragmatists because all they do is go in and slaughter all the men. What kind of crap is that? Can we expect to see more of this kind of “illuminating” discussion in the future?

The Darfurian Arabs are 100% Sudanese, they should have the same rights as the African to buy land wherever, whenever they want…. the African Darfurian should have the right of selling their land to others…the existing land system is discriminating against the Darfurian Arabs….this conflict is showing that this land system is not working and has to change
The Darfurian Arabs need the settle because of the draught and because of modern life .. also they need to have education at least like what their African neighbors have… and of course their share in the power….New Darfur should be based on equal rights based on citizenship not on tribe and ethnicity…
thanks
