Darfur -- a forgotten crisis with 400,000 deaths..

Refugees running from their homes that are under attack: many children died
mothers are out of milk for their young ones: malnutrition caused deaths are rampant in Darfur refuge camps


A child in Darfur refuge camp: does anyone care?

SLA rebel militants that displaced thousands of refugees from their homeland


Cambodian students having candlelight prayer for the deaths in Darfur

This is the only place that I feel burdened: Africa. Neverending tragedies, forgotten land of suffering and deaths. It's called dark continent in all accounts. I pray that even though men may forget them, the God won't forget them and will give them refuge at end time.
To get the records straight. Darfur is not the only place with conflicts that caused thousands of deaths. In Congo, Somalia, Rwanda and a few more places, millions are displaced or chased from their homelands. Countless multitudes of women raped and killed, children tortured and killed, this is on top of the death of men that is even greater in number..

Hi, admar, to me Palestine is a non-event compared to magnitude of suffering elsewhere.
