Hi and welcome to “We blog for Darfur”. We apologize for the lack of contents on our awareness site. At the moment we’re still in the process of adding more things since we just started this initiative 3 days ago.

Many people have heard about Darfur and many more still don’t have any idea what it’s about. Most of those who do know about the Darfur conflict unfortunately know very little about it. All they know is that “it’s a genocide being waged by Arabs against Africans” and that “UN troops must go in to protect the innocent people”. Darfur is so much more complex than that and hardly anybody who’s heard about it truly understands what’s going on there. We don’t blame people for this since we’re aware that the main stream media, especially the Arab main stream media hasn’t been reporting enough about it. It is therefore necessary to give a louder voice to the voiceless victims of Darfur. It is also necessary to present the conflict thoroughly and in a simple straight forward language so that people can understand its root causes. We have taken it upon ourselves to do so. We don’t want to present “politicized news” or “politicized perspectives”. We want to present a raw perspective that’s informative. Informed people are people more likely to act. They’re more likely to push those in positions of power to do something.

This project is still in its start. We haven’t officially launched it yet. Once we do, we hope that as many bloggers as possible will join us in spreading awareness. Let’s not rely on the main stream media. Let us get the word out and spread awareness on the blogosphere instead. Let us inform. Let us give a voice to our voiceless fellow human beings. Let us blog, blog and blog some more.

Together we can make a difference.
