He’s getting away with murder

August 31st, 2011 by Tom Andrews

History is repeating itself in South Kordofan, Sudan. And the same man that destroyed the lives of a generation of Darfuris is getting away with murder again.

Sudan’s president Omar al-Bashir is slaughtering people in South Kordofan and doing everything he can to keep the outside world from finding out. So far, his strategy is working. Why? Because the U.S. government and the United Nations are quite literally choosing to ignore his brutal attacks.

A report released yesterday by our friends at Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International related this disturbing news: “The relentless bombing campaign is killing and maiming civilian men, women, and children, displacing tens of thousands, putting them in desperate need of aid.”

These are the stories and the images that Omar al-Bashir is trying to hide from the world. Watch the video and then be sure to share it with your friends and family.

The U.S. government is doing nothing to stop Bashir’s attacks on the people of South Kordofan. The United Nations suppressed its own reports of ethnic targeting. And the media – just like with Darfur – is silent.

We can’t allow the world to ignore the horrors in South Kordofan. Watch the video now – then share it with everyone you know. We can’t let history repeat itself and wait until the government, the media, or the international community decide it’s time to intervene. By that time thousands more will be dead or displaced.

Thank you for watching and sharing the video – be sure to check back soon to learn more about what you can do to help the people suffering in South Kordofan.
