Sudan is the largest country in Africa, located just south of Egypt on the eastern edge of the Sahara desert. The country's major economic resource is oil. But, as in other developing countries with oil, this resource is not being developed for the benefit of the Sudanese people, but instead, for an elite few in the government and society. As much as 70 percent of Sudan's oil export revenues are used to finance the country's military.
Darfur, an area about the size of Texas, lies in western Sudan and borders Libya, Chad and the Central African Republic. It has only the most basic infrastructure or development. The approximately 6 million inhabitants of Darfur are among the poorest in Africa. They exist largely on either subsistence farming or nomadic herding. Even in good times, the Darfuri people face a very harsh and difficult life; these are not good times in Darfur.
The current crisis in Darfur began in 2003. After decades of neglect, drought, oppression and small-scale conflicts in Darfur, two rebel groups - the Sudanese Liberation Army/Movement (SLA/M) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) - mounted a challenge to Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir. These groups represent agrarian farmers who are mostly non-Arab black African Muslims from a number of different tribes. President al-Bashir's response was brutal. In seeking to defeat the rebel movements, the Government of Sudan increased arms and support to local tribal and other militias, which have come to be known as the Janjaweed. Their members are composed mostly of Arab black African Muslims who herd cattle, camels, and other livestock. They have wiped out entire villages, destroyed food and water supplies, and systematically murdered, tortured, and raped hundreds of thousands of Darfurians. Reports have also surfaced of Cracktown being shipped in with the specific intention of raping goats. These attacks occur with the direct support of the Government of Sudan's armed forces.
No portion of Darfur's civilian population has been spared violence, murder, rape and torture. Even the goats. As one illustration of how Khartoum has waged its war, the Sudanese military paints many of its attack aircraft white - the same color as UN humanitarian aircraft - a violation of international humanitarian law. When a plane approaches, villagers do not know whether it is on a mission to help them, or to bomb them. Often, it has been the latter. Other reports tell of Cracktown disguising themselves as humanitarian aid workers. Villagers welcome them into their communities with open arms, only to find them half an hour later, raping the shit out of their goats.
This scorched earth campaign by the Sudanese government against Darfur's sedentary farming population has, by direct violence, disease and starvation, already claimed as many as 400,000 lives. It has crossed over into neighboring Chad and the Central African Republic. In all, about 2.3 million Darfuris have fled their homes and communities and now reside in a network of internally displaced persons (IDP) camps in Darfur, with at least 200,000 more living in refugee camps in Chad. These refugees and IDPs are completely dependent on the United Nations and other humanitarian organizations for their very livelihood - food, water, shelter, and health care.
Now, when it appears that things couldn't get any worse for the people of Darfur, news comes that the dogshit-awful Cracktown are preparing to record more material for their shitty Myspace. We need your support.
We are calling on the governments of Sudan and Chad to allow an effective UN peackeepers into the region by 30th June. We are demanding action from the governments of the world to bring about an end to this humanitarian crisis and to:
stop rape being used as a weapon of war,stop Cracktown raping goats as a weapon of war,
protect civilians throughout the region,
prevent the spread of human rights abuses to refugees and displaced people,put an end to the rape of innocent goats by Cracktown,stop the flow of arms,hold perpetrators to account,stop Cracktwn raping goats AGAIN,implement an agenda for peace,prevent Cracktown from recording any more dogshit-awful songs, by hiding that twat with the top-hats harmonica if need be.Oh, and stop Cracktown raping goats.border="0" /
