Outline for essay 3

[Kelvin]

The U.S. cannot sit idly by if we want to present ourselves as a great
nation. The Guantanamo bay should all together be given back to Cuba
if the U.S. wants to reinvent themselves as a great nation.

This is Dianna Brown posting outline for Essay 3:
What did I do?
Researched hunger, malnutrition & starvation due to civil war in sudan
and its' relativity to the Shakespeare play Cressida & Troilus and the
book Blood rites by Barbara Ehrenreich.

Why did you do what you did?
Reviewed phamplet of Doctors Without Borders/MSF and photos and
literature touched my heart. Thought that I needed to know more about
this war.

What did you learn?
Doctors Without Borders is a non-governmental organization that aids
victims of war, famine and man made disasters.There are initiatives
and bills in both Congress and the House of Representatives that
support aid in Sudan and peace agreements to start and end to the
civil war.

What else could be done?
With ample financial assistance backing non governmental organizations
like Doctors Without Borders, UNICEF, and the Red Cross could make
great progress in an attempt to end what is now a silent killer in
wars.

What I Did

• Opinion: Brutal Assaults By Khartoum on Sudanese Border on Genocide
are Indefensible

• In 2003 Darfuri Rebels Attacked Sudanese Aircraft and personnel
Hoping for Better Representation in Khartoum

Arab Militia Against African Christians

• Over Two Million Refugees Several Hundred Thousand Murdered


Why I Did It

• World Community Should Stand on the Side of Innocent People


What I Learned

• Tried to Find Sources From Across the Political Spectrum Including
World Conflicts Today, Washington Post, United Nations, Bills in the
House of Representatives

• Easy to Characterize as Simply an Arab Muslim/African Christian
Struggle

• Did Not Realize That Arab and Africans Traditionally Shared a Common
Culture and commerce in the Darfur Region

Conflagration With an Entire Generation Left Homeless


What Else Can Be Done?
