UPDATE: If you have come to this article through an e-mail I’ve sent you, please, take note of a mistake I made in its text. The town and area of Srebrenica is in fact in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was the Serbian army under the command of Radko Mladic who executed the killings. Please, read more about the topic here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srebrenica_massacre.

The more I look at the world around me, the more I become convinced that it’s full of Cains. White, black, yellow, mixed, tall, short, well-educated but also some illiterate, some very active, others rather indifferent… Too bad, however, that God’s voice is not as audible as one might want it to be. It appears far too easy for us to not even hear Him asking “Where is your brother Abel? What have you done?”

I just recently shared with you about the genocide which is taking place in Darfur and over the (practically nonexistent) border with Chad (click here to read that post). A very important point in the development of the Darfur war is approaching. On March 4, the International Criminal Court is expected to announce whether it will issue an arrest warrant for the Sudanese president Omar Hassan al-Bashir convicting him of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur (click here to read a news article about this).

After 6 years of ongoing mass killings in Darfur and dreadfully slow and rather crippled actions on behalf of the rest of the world for stopping the genocide, there is potential for a major leap in resolving the conflict. I am pleading with you to pray that the Sudanese president may be convicted for the crimes against people which he has commited and consequentially arrested. Pray also that God may continue to use the voice of people throughout the world who put the conflict in Darfur before the eyes of the public and through this demand a response from their governments and the UN.
