Speaking the Unspeakable
The article I read was called "In Darfur, My Camera Was Not Nearly Enough" by Brian Steidle. He had traveled to Sudan's Darfur region in September 2004 and the sights that he saw were of the unspeakable. Everywhere, as he noted, there were bodies that were either burned, lying dead from severe injuries, or people who wounded so badly that life was not expected. The citizens of the Darfur region were in constant fear for their lives from the attacking enemy, the janjaweed. No where was there a safe place for the residents to hide. The janjaweed attacked everyone from infants to the elderly, pregnant to the disabled. As far as the reason behind this unimaginable violence, a mere conflict between two regions. It is sad to think that complete unmerciful genocide is the only way for the two regions to settle their dispute.
