Never Again is Again: Stand Up Against Genocide in Africa

The term was first used following the Holocaust of World War II. The international community committed itself to preventing “ethnic cleansing”, or the destruction of an entire or significant part of an ethnic or racial group. “Never again” has been applied to several other humanitarian crises in the 20th and 21st centuries, namely, following the Rwandan genocide of 1994. We believe that “never again” is again, because the international community is once again paralyzed, tied up in semantics, while hundreds of thousands in the Darfur region of Sudan are being violated, displaced, and killed.
