  • Page 5 WESTERN CAROLINIAN February 20, 2009 CAMPUS VIEWS Never Again...Again By Daniel Falls Guest Columnist Never Again! That was a com- monly uttered phrase following the discovery of the Nazi-sponsored genocide in Germany known as the Holocaust. The general consensus in the international community was that modern civilization could not permit such atrocities to reoccur. It was indifference and lack of knowl- edge on the part of society that en- abled. Hitler and the Third Reich to carry out the largest mass killing in modern history. The Holocaust is a very real part of history. To not talk about it would be an injustice to us all. The object of attention today though is something that is happen- ing now. It is something that can still be changed. I am referring to the Darfur Conflict. That is what the UN calls it. Unfortunately, to simply call it a conflict would be a drastic understatement. To give a brief history, since Feb- ruary of 2003, the Darfur region of Sudan has been in turmoil. Various militias attacked government agen- cies, claiming that the government was showing favor to Muslims. There are many other social prob- lems. Among those militias, most notably is the Darfur Liberation Front. Also on their side are the Su- dan Liberation Movement and the Justice and Equality Movement. These armies and militias are com- prised mostly of non-Arab people. Many other militias have either joined these militias or have aided in their cause. On the side of the government are of course the Sudanese Army and the notorious Jangaweed. Jan- gaweed is a massive militia group, mostly made up of members of Arab tribes to the north. The Su- danese government denies having funded the group. However, it is well known that they have funded: and supported the Jangaweed in their attacks on tribes in Darfur. The conflict does not only consist of mass killings. There are count- less reports of rape, slave trade, and pillaging. To add fuel to the fire, the region has been suffering from se- vere drought and famine. Overpop- ulation is also an issue. Mostly Arab nomadic farmers in the north have been forced to migrate southward in the hopes of finding water and food. The only problem is that the region is already occupied by non-Arab farmers. The conflict may be referred to as an ethnic cleansing. The govern- ment is run by mostly Muslims, and much of the population. Most independent research groups esti- mate the death toll around 400,000, some more and some less. These deaths are primarily due to vio- lence and disease. Furthermore, many independent research groups are estimating that around 2.5 mil- lion have been displaced. To this day hundreds of thousands rely on international aid to continue to live. These figures are rough estimates by, various groups and are widely acknowledged as the general con- sensus. On August 31, 2006, the UN proposed Resolution 1706 to the Sudanese government. They op- posed it. The very next day, the Su- danese government continued to at- tack helpless and unarmed villages. Many different peace resolutions and cease-fire agreements have been rejected or broken. It is also notable that the Sudan humanitarian affairs minister Ahmed Haroun has been charged with 51 counts of war crimes by the International Crimi- nal Court. Fighting continues to this day. Please understand that this is an extremely brief history of the conflict. The nature of the conflict is very complex. So to try to fully understand the nature of the situa- tion, one would have to do his/her | own research. You might be asking pout what, if anything, you can do. The first step is to open your eyes and become aware of the situation. Our mass media has failed us in report- ing on the situation. You rarely hear coverage of the Darfur Conflict, es- pecially if the Jonas Brothers have hada busy week. So we, as citizens, must make a concerted effort to in- form ourselves. So, in essence, you have completed the first step of the solution by becoming (somewhat) informed. Another step is to raise awareness yourself. Share with others about whats going on over there, and hold the media account- able for what they choose to report on. Another step, if you choose, is to donate to organizations helping with the crisis. However, do your research before donating; making sure the organization is credible. Beware of scams. Another possible step, if you are a-person of faith, is to pray for the situation and for the innocent lives over there. The last step is to divest from companies that do business with the Sudanese government. Many people are in- vesting in companies that are profit- ing from genocide. We said that we will never ee | again allow for such atrocities .to take place. The only difference today is that we know better. We can make the decision to become informed citizens. Many during World War II had no idea what was happening to the European Jewish population. Now we do know. Still to this day, for the most part we are seeing indifference on the part of the international community. Let me encourage you to try to make a difference. I know its easy to say Im only one person, so what can I do? However that is how true change comes about. By Kenia Caze Financial Expert As a student, there are many ques- tions you may have when it comes to your taxes. Filing may feel more like homework; however, theres usually one differencea cash re- ward! If youre not sure about your options or if you even have to file, keep reading. As you get older, more respon- sibilities are added to your plate. One of those responsibilities is your taxes. Its complicated, we know, but it must be done. If you think youre the only one with questions, think again. Every year, thousands of taxpayers seek out help from lo- cal CPAs to get things done right.

The Box Truck Means Bed | Ory Petty Staff Writer I can imagine that a lot of folks here on aera have sleep ware know its definitely time to hit the sack. _ At almost precisely 3 am every morning, the WCU box truck ap- pears like a screaming banshee in a generally dreary, empty parking lot near you (if you live on campus). The truck is loud, like a monster, and it kind of works like a reverse alarm clock. One may ask, what are you do- ing awake at that hour? Well the cal Obie dt goes isla campus at a specific time that can let you answer is simple. Nothing. There is absolutely nothing to do at that _ hour. For many like myself, though, watching the occasional car. drive other. pede if i'm Hele: This is pretty unhealthy, Im sure, but its not like there is much else to occupy my time in this area. ; The cardboard recycling truck arrives like clockwork. In front of my residence hall at 3 am, except on weekends. Weekends dont matter. If I happen to be gazing out the win- dow or outside (Im outside a lot), Tl hear the truck from probably a quarter mile away: large, white and industrial, the smell of diesel fuel pumping out from the exhaust, at 3am, of course. Sometimes thoughts go rushing. - through my head ol neeibe : e- . Vm glad I dont have me a a this conclusion is drawn, I some- times think to myself how glad I am that we have a recycling program _ here. Im even happier that the col- lection for cardboard is at 3am. That obnoxiously loud and large truck is a big warning sign to GO TO BED and avoid sleeping through the important part of the day.
