[2011 Aug] Burying the Darfur Genocide Myth by Thomas
C. Mountain Genocide has and is being committed by the Ethiopian
regime of Meles Zenawi against the Somali people of the Ogaden, but there has
been no genocide in Darfur.....The Darfur genocide myth has for years been a
very useful smokescreen in helping to hide the most terrible crime in the world
today, the Ogaden Genocide.....Sudan is estimated to have suffered some two
million deaths during its decades-long civil war between the north and the
south. While peace has been slowing taking hold in Darfur, in the
Ogaden peace is a long lost memory. War, famine, and disease are spreading
across the Ogaden, and it is becoming a situation that is increasingly the norm
in growing areas of Ethiopia. While the western hucksters raked in beau coup
millions of dollars while peddling their “save Darfur” bunkum, Sudanese have
seen real peace on the ground take place in Darfur.
In contrast, Ethiopians, suffering under a regime that is the
largest recipient of western aid in Africa, only see a future of growing ethnic
and religious conflict, and worse, active programs of genocide. The problems
developing in Ethiopia can invariably be traced back to the west, mainly the
USA. The west, in particular the USA, is hell bent on keeping Africa in a state
of crisis, the better to exploit. And the “save Darfur” lobby is all for
bringing more violence to Africa under the guise of “humanitarian intervention”,
while little of the over $100 million they collected ever reached the Darfur
people it was intended for.

[2007] Darfurism, Uganda and the U.S. War in Africa -
The Spectre of Continental Genocide by Keith Harmon Snow “Save
Darfur” is the predominant propaganda front running on Africa and it has
overwhelmed the public consciousness with deceptions. In this establishment
narrative Arabs on horseback, the Janjaweed, backed by the Sudan government
seated in Khartoum, are the purveyors of genocide. This mirrors the
establishment narrative of Rwanda, 1994, which said that the Hutus and the nasty
Interahamwe militias committed genocide against the Tutsis in 100 days of
killing with machetes. The Rwanda genocide narrative—combined with the narrative
about “humanitarian” intervention in Yugoslavia, where the final blow to
dismember the country came with the NATO bombing campaign—set the stage for the
Darfur genocide narrative.
All over the United States, Britain
and Canada advocates and activists who claim to be concerned about human rights,
and even those who otherwise would not get involved, have supported the “Save
Darfur” movement, a political movement similar to the anti-Apartheid movement
mobilized against South Africa in the 1980s. The “Save Darfur” movement has
resulted in a huge outpouring of funds, and it has mobilized support from people
in all walks of life, and across the political spectrum, on the “never again”
platform of “stopping genocide.”
Hollywood personalities dubbed “actorvists,”
including Mia Farrow, Don Cheadle and George Clooney, have helped to whip up the
“Save Darfur” hysteria. From Elie Wiesel to Barak Obama, people are “outraged”
by genocide that the Bush Administration, we are told, is reluctant to stop. And
it is hysteria, in the true definition of the word, but it did not simply rise
out of a sudden concern for a bunch of Africans in some far-off God-forsaken
place (as it is portrayed).
At a “Voices for Darfur” fundraiser
held on October 21, 2007 at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, for
example, the local chapter of the Congregation B’Nai Israel Darfur Action
coalition, raised over $14,000 for “humanitarian” aid to Darfur. The B’Nai
Israel Save Darfur Coalition had a broad array of public and organizational
support, including other Jewish organizations, Smith College, Northampton Mayor
Claire Higgins, Massachusetts’ Senator Stan Rosenberg and Representative Peter
Kocot. The campaign organizers claim that “more than 90% goes to
direct-on-the-ground AID.” Working with big humanitarian groups like Doctors
Without Borders and Save the Children, it is impossible that 90% of funds will
hit the ground in Darfur.14
Behind the “Save Darfur” movement
are fundamentalist organizations and think tanks with a deeply nationalistic,
militaristic, religious fundamentalist agenda. The Center for Security Policy,
for example, supports the “star wars” Strategic Defense Initiative, Homeland
Security—which is nothing more than expanding militarism and emasculated public
rights—and the Biometric Security Project. The BSP centers around emerging
biological technologies that will be used to register, identify, monitor, track
and control each and every U.S. citizen. They call it “identity assurance,” it
involves state-of-the-art recognition equipment, sensors and security
technologies, and it is a central component of the evolving national security
and “counter-terrorism” apparatus.15
The Center for Security Policy is
the nerve center of the U.S. military and intelligence apparatus, a deeply
nationalist, neoliberal think-tank and flak organization promoting the all-out
attack against non-cooperative governments—dubbed “rogue states”—peripheral to
Western economic control. These, of course, are primarily Iran, Iraq,
Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, North Korea and Cuba. Zimbabwe is a special case that
has joined the list to some degree. What these states have in common is that
they are all targeted for divestment by the Center for Security Policy
brainchild, divestterror.org. Sudan is another of the “rogue states” targeted.
The establishment narrative on
Darfur motivates U.S. citizens to take action to “Save Darfur,” thus
facilitating popular support for heightened U.S. military involvement. The truth
is that the United States military is already there, in its various
incarnations, and the United States is involved in atrocities.
