http://stopgenocidenow.org A community working to end genocide Tue, 08 Jul 2008 17:45:25 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en We are coming to the last days of the 100-Day Fast for Darfur. By participating in the fast and helping the World Food Program (WFP) in their efforts to feed the Darfuri people that have been brutally displaced, you are standing with the victims at a crucial time. ... http://stopgenocidenow.org/home/2008/06/27/648 Hello friend and family of Stop Genocide Now, SGN is joining forty-six other organizations in demanding that our world leaders at this year's G8 Summit in Hokkaido, Japan, focus and act on one of the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today. The G8 Summit comes at a perilous time for ... http://stopgenocidenow.org/home/2008/06/27/647 So, by now, you know that we weren’t able to visit any refugee camps. To echo the chorus, obviously it’s extremely disappointing. Colin and I were both looking forward to meeting the people that we, and thousands of students, had been working for, and bringing their stories back ... http://stopgenocidenow.org/iact/iact5/reports/2008/06/19/641 Here's a summary of all the actions from i-ACT 5 (and more!). Keep the pressure on and strong! Locally Tell 5 Friends (or more!) about i-ACT: Send them to our website and send them a story of one of our friends This coming weekend, bring the faces and stories of our friends to ... http://stopgenocidenow.org/iact/iact5/actions/2008/06/19/640 It’s a quiet early morning in N’Djamena. It’s not the eerie, bad, thick quiet that we could almost feel in February. There are fishermen out in the river, moving oh so slowly. The moon, looking full, is hanging low over on the Cameroon side. We made ... http://stopgenocidenow.org/iact/iact5/reports/2008/06/18/638 It looks like there’s no longer a chance that we can make it out to refugee camps this time. After spending so much time getting permits, talking to officials, and waiting for flights that never left, it’s frustrating to see it slip from our fingers when we came close so ... http://stopgenocidenow.org/iact/iact5/reports/2008/06/18/637 Scott， Colin ，KTJ與Gabriel 起床後，懷着可以登機到 Goz Beida 的希望。我們急不及待想探望距離市中心十五分鐘路程的Djabal難民營內的朋友。可惜航班被取消了，當地有戰鬥和搶略的消息。Bouba 和我們的駕駛員Umar 都無恙，但是從他們的語調可以聽出情況比以往都嚴重。 我們在Abeche 不會有危險，但卻非常擔心難民營內的朋友，他們的安危再次因突襲而受到威脅。戰爭的聲音使他們想起種族清洗和瞄準他們的暴力。我們很幸福，因為我們早晚都會回家與家人團敍。但是這些難民就只能在難民營內重新開始。 我們的好友與我們分享他們期盼: Youssouf 希望和平可以降臨乍得，新婚的Alpha 就希望家人健康和一輩子都平安。我們也期望整個地區，包括蘇丹，達富爾，乍得, 和中非共和國可以永遠健康和平安。 http://stopgenocidenow.org/chinese/2008/06/17/646 At the end of writing this I realized I had started a short diatribe, and so if you don’t get to the end, I thought I would add the punch line here: Even though i-ACT5 did not make it into the camps, PLEASE, for all the innocent civilians caught in ... http://stopgenocidenow.org/iact/iact5/reports/2008/06/17/636 Hello friends: Following on the theme for World Refugee Day (June 20), we decided to take on that general theme for our trip: Protection. We were to focus on what protection means to the millions of displaced, and, when visiting the camps, show how the refugees feel about protection in ... http://stopgenocidenow.org/iact/iact5/reports/2008/06/17/634 今天的開始算滿順利，我們把越來越重的行李塞滿了車子，聯絡到Bouba與我們的駕駛員Umar，請他們今天稍後到Goz Beida 去接我們飛機。我們先停總督俯去蓋一個章，然後直奔機場。稱過行李的重量和簽過乘客名單後，航班卻宣佈停飛。 根劇UNHCR 的消息，當地有不明朗的軍事行動，所有到當地的車輛和航班都暫時取消。當我們正在張羅今晚的棲身之所時，看到幾輛載滿士兵和武器的卡車南下，向當地進發，顯然是武裝支緩。起碼，我們在Abeche 是暫時安全的。 Suzanne 來Abeche 至今已有十五個月，作為一個難民主要資訊記錄員，她看來頗為享受自己在東乍得的工作。她跟我們的想法一致，認為必須要與難民一同生活。因為她的組織會盡一切努力去去保住這些小孩，婦女和成人的性命。當她穿梭於難民營裡時，雖然工作繁重，她總會找到娛樂自己的方法。 http://stopgenocidenow.org/chinese/2008/06/16/645
