Grim times in Sudan
Why is it so difficult to get certain people (*cough*myAmericanFriends*cough*) to read the news about other countries and just care? I cannot stand apathy.
Sudan's situation is so grim, and they're not the only African country facing possible Genocide. The Congo isn't faring well either.
Pete and I have made friends in church with people who have escaped both the Congo (one lady who lost her husband in the first civil war and her village in the second civil war), and Sudan (an entire family who somehow escaped and came here, bless them). It's amazing to talk to these people who are grateful to live through the day, no matter how bad their situations may be over here. It's inspiring. One woman described hiding out during a civil war in the Congo while spending all day thanking God to be alive, while guerillas killed her neighbors. Can you imagine?
I just can't stand the apathy over here. Sigh. Pass the news around. There are people like us who can't walk outside their house, or even have a house, b/c of militants. Spread the word that there is a war outside Iraq.
