Crisis in Darfur...

Keeping with today's theme of reprehensible actions, I would point those concerned with humankind to Darfur, where rape is becoming the norm for women and young girls.

Thousands of women -- as young as four -- caught in the middle of the struggle between rebel forces and government-backed militias have become victims of rape, they say, with some aid groups claiming it is being used as a weapon of ethnic cleansing.

As if the rape isn't horrible enough, it is being used as a method for ethnic cleansing... absolutely sick.

And what does the Sudanese government say? Well, there is no rape in Darfur:

"There is no rape in Darfur," says Mohammad Hassan Awad, a Humanitarian Aid Commissioner for West Darfur, who accuses foreign aid workers of persuading people in refugee camps to make false claims.
