Founder of the Genocide Intervention Network Mark Hanis emphasizes the importance of personalizing the faces of genocide.
He retells the story of Halima Abdelkarim, a survivor from the Dajo tribe in Sudan. After days of torture Halima survived the janjaweed assault, but her 10 year old sister did not.
Founder of the Genocide Intervention Network Mark Hanis believes the U.S. has failed at stopping genocide in Darfur because of its lack in the areas of protection, political will, and permanency.
Hanis says we "treat Darfur like the tsunami or Katrina," and "because we treat it like a natural disaster, we respond to it like a natural disaster."
In response to people asking "what can I do," founder of the Genocide Intervention Network Mark Hanis created a program of three tools anyone can use to help fight genocide.
The program consists of education, advocation, and donation.
