About Us
Welcome to boulderfordarfur.com!
The first genocide of the 21st century is now taking place in the Darfur region of Sudan
OUR GOAL:
To spread awareness of the Darfur crisis throughout Boulder County and the Denver metro area, and to inspire action - no matter how small - in as many people as possible.
“When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it would split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before together.”
– Jacob A. Riis, journalist and social reformer (1849-1914)
For the last five years, the government of Sudan has been waging a war on its own citizens
- Villages are being burned and bombed
- Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed
- More than 2.5 million have been displaced
- Thousands die monthly from violence, starvation or disease
- Organized rape and brutality are rampant
- The European Union and the United States government have called it genocide
