An African Tragedy

The pictures on the website that we got really show what its like to be a person living in Sudan. Its really sad to see the people in these pictures suffer, even the little children have to suffer and there is nothing they can do about it. In one of the pictures a group of men are praying for a 2 year old boy who has died. This picture really shows the impacts of the Darfur conflict. Even young children are dying for something they cant do anything about. The children have to take a lot of responsibility at a young age and a lot of children die because of malnutrition. In some of the pictures there is skeletons just laying on the ground. I think that it would be pretty scary to see skeletons laying on the ground where you walk everyday. All the pictures are all very sad and really show whats going on in Sudan.

The interactive elements on this blog are great, Ben. Does Mr. Cav know you are linked to "Wicked-Pedia?" I like the links! Does he? Good job, mister! Ms GM

These pictures are upsetting. I wonder how the diplomats in the video you posted would respond to seeing them.
