A Global Day for Action on Darfur
The genocide rolled on as demonstrators gathered around the world for the 2006 Global Day for Action, three years after the violence began in Darfur. Whereas the Rwandan genocide claimed most of its lives in just two to three months of unremitting violence, the Darfur genocide continued in a wave-like pattern. Former Secretary of State Madeline Albright joined demonstrators in New York City's Central Park to make this point, observing, “President Clinton and I have so many times said how horrible it was that we weren't able to do something about Rwanda, but the lesson is different. Rwanda was volcanic genocide…this is rolling genocide.” Demonstrators also gathered in Canada, Europe, and Asia, and genocide survivors led demonstrations in Rwanda and Cambodia. The world again ignored the Canadian UN commander during the genocide in Rwanda, Romeo Dallaire, who now lamented, “We are going to witness, again with blood on our hands, the destruction of human beings who are exactly like us.” The whole world watched as death, rape, and destruction continued, and as a trove of evidence for that violence languished in the State Department's files.
Chapter 5 presented eyewitness evidence recorded in the ADS refugee interviews from Chad that Musa Hilal in particular exhibited, repeatedly, his intent to eliminate Black Africans from Darfur. He did this in public speeches and by personally leading attacks on settlements in Darfur.
