The Passion of the Present (the essay)

-
In Darfur, a region in western Sudan approximately the size of Texas, over a million people are threatened with torture and death at the hands of marauding militia and a complicit government. Genocide evokes not only the moral, but also, the legal responsibility of the world community. Under international agreement, a nation must intervene to stop a genocide when it is officially acknowledged.
"Officially" is the key word here. So far, no nation in the international community has "officially" acknowledged the truth: Sudan is a bleeding ground of genocide. In this void, the Sudanese government continues to act with brutal impunity.
Thankfully, there are individuals working in human rights organizations who are watching - and witnessing - and organizing, in support of the victims in Darfur. These individuals represent, for all of us, a personal capacity to bear witness to the passion of the present; one candle lit against the darkness.
However, before one can light a candle, someone has to strike a match: a donation to any of the human rights organizations active in Sudan, contacting your government representative, local newspaper, radio and t.v. station. Our individual activism is essential for the candlepower of witness to overcome and extinguish the firepower of genocide.
This world has long endured wars that take lives. Let us be part of one that saves them.

Referendum-Related Links

Even though voting in the referendum has ended (and South Sudan is now officially independent), here are some sites to continue to monitor--not including the batch of RSS feeds of news from Africa and the similar batch of Sudan-related feeds (most recently updated on Friday, 6 September, 2013, to add the UK's ITV News, NZweek, South Africa's Eyewitness News, Nigeria's TVC News, Nigeria's Premium Times, Sodere, the Times of Israel, Egypt Independent, Lebanon's Daily Star, GlobalPost, the European Union Times, the South China Morning Post, the Global Dispatch, Livemint, Moneycontrol, India Today, LinkTV, Women News Network, Africa Portal, the Africa Report, New African magazine, the Sudd Institute, Arry, e-International Relations, Sharnoff's Global Views, Lesley Anne Warner, and Keith Somerville):

Despite the fact that South Sudan's independence has officially arrived, I may still add even more links; however, I am trying to primarily include links that specifically have had a significant amount of new content concerning the referendum itself. - EJM
