Starting June 10th, Stop Genocide Now will bring you For 12 consecutive days, i-ACT (interactive-activism) connects you with the faces, names and lives of Darfur refugees who escaped, for now, genocide in their homeland. Watch daily videos from the field team; read journal entries and add your comments; take action daily that will change the way the world responds to genocide. The violence in and around Darfur has escalated since our last trip in February 2008, when there was an attempted military coup in Chad. Since diplomatic ties have been but cut between Chad and Sudan, and thousands are stranded on the border in between. Visit Stop Genocide Now i-ACT (www.stopgenocidenow.org/iact) to join the community and connect with a Darfuri who needs your voice and action.
The situation on the ground is unstable, and the rainy season has begun. But we feel that at this time the refugees need to be heard by the international community and to feel your hope more so than anytime in the past. Escalating violence in Darfur, Khartoum, S. Sudan, and Chad threatens their already hard life in the camps and adds to the trauma they have already felt.
The field team will include: Gabriel and KTJ from SGN, and Scott Warren and Colin O'Brien from STAND (Student Anti-Genocide Coalition).
For 12 consecutive days, i-ACT will bring you daily videos from the field so you can reconnect with so many of our friends, like Adam, Yakoub, Islam, and Anima; and meet new friends. We hope to visit Camps Kounoungo and Mile once again; and sit down and speak with newly resettled refugees who escaped the most recent bombings in Darfur. We will also be posting our journal entries, and encourage you to post your own comments to us, the refugees, or to one another. i-ACT will also offer daily action items for you and your community to participate in. Please join us as an i-ACTivist in this journey and experience.
