What's Worth Fighting For?

Imagine living a life where you are constantly checking the sky, and behind your back to make sure there’s no one there to hurt you or your loved ones.  Imagine living in terror, not knowing when a bomb might hit you or when you might be able to escape from all this. Ever since south sudan broke away from sudan, the Nuba people were left with a government who wanted to  get rid of them. Everyday, at least 3 Nuba people die, and dozens get injured severely.

For many years, the second sudanese war went on. Millions of people died, millions have had been displaced, and the rest became refugees. Finally, a referendum was held from January 9th to 15th, 2001. 98.83% of the population had voted for independence. On July 9th, South Sudan gained independence. A lot of people were happy, but not everyone. The government and the Nuba people were in this problem.
"We need humanitarian aid to be allowed into the Sudan before it becomes the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. We are here to ask for the government in Khartoum to stop randomly killing its own innocent men, women and children. Stop raping them and stop starving them.”- George Clooney
What is happening in sudan is, when south sudan broke away from sudan, the Nuba people were left with a government that didn't want them. Since there are no cameras allowed in the Nuba Mountains, there WAS no way to find out if gov. was telling the truth or not. Every SINGLE DAY, in the Nuba Mountains, people live in fear of aerial attacks. Children live in dangerous habitats, such as caves. Children are taken away to the army. 
Also, kids play with bombs that were thrown at them, but failed to explode. These bombs can go off any second. Kids living in caves get BLOWN UP whenever bombs land inside caves. There’s no way to hide. The Government’s been hiding this.  OMAR AL-BASHIR  and Al- Hussein
is behind most of this
. This isn’t WAR.... The Gov. are doing to wipe all the black people out of the area, and put the arabs in.

“Do you know who’s behind all this?”- George Clooney.
In reply ( a Nuban said) “ Yes! It’s Omar al- bashir. He want us to be gone. gone. He want us gone so Arab people live in land. They want the blacks all dead.”


The sudanese Government are doing this for a very simple reason. There was a specific part in in south sudan which had a very bad relationship with Nuba( dating back to hundreds of years). Since the government’s around that area, they got the advantage. There is no good reason for this. Bashir is simply committing war crimes.
“Stop raping them and stop starving them if you don't have a good reason too.”- George Clooney
People live in fear of aerial attacks. Children live in fear because at any moment, there can be a gov. soldier behind them. Either you get raped, or dragged into the army. But usually, both happen to the children.
This is the only reason Bashir has for his doings. All he wants to do is, kill all the black people in the Nuba mountains, and put the Arabs in(even though there's a lot of land around the area that is deserted).

Many people are trying their bests to spread the word about this. This whole project started when one night, a couple of celebs ( George Clooney and Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon) thought.’ How come you can Google Earth my house, when you can’t Google Earth places like North Korea, Chad...’.This lead to them teaming up with Harvard Uni. and the american gov. ( Barack Obama is REALLY involved) To set up satellites... in order to ‘spy’ on the sudanese gov. They found something TERRIBLE HAPPENING.
“Like many others, I’ve denounced President Bashar al-Assad of Syria for his murderous repression, but the more than 7,000 estimated by human rights groups to have been killed under Assad is within the margin of error of estimates of the numbers of people killed by President Omar Hassan al-Bashir of Sudan.”- Nick Kristof 
The Plan is to be able to ‘outnumber’ Omar, and make him go to ICC. In the meantime, people are trying to donate, bring Aid, medical care, housing, help people escape to other countries, bring food, clean water supply, hygiene.

In Conclusion, the Nuba people are in danger. We HAVE to spread the word, in order to out number Omar- Bashir, and get him to go to ICC. People are still dying for no reason, other than the fact that they black. Children are not being educated well for the government don't want them to be smart. Children as young as 2 have had legs, or arms blown off.
There is a way to stop this. Spread the word.
