Dafur Genocide

In my opinion, the Sudanese government is the most at fault. The Sudanese government is the one who is declining the problem and keeping troops out of the country. They are the ones funding the Janjaweed (even though the deny it) who are killing everyone in their path. They claim the reason this genocide is taking place is because they want to stop the rebel troops when in truth the amount of force they are using to "stop the rebels" comes no where close to the minuscule amount of rebels there actually are. The truth is that the predominately Arab government is trying to rid their country of the African population. This act is extremely immoral and should be stopped immediately!

On a happier topic, the last few weeks have gone well! This past week our band went to UIL, a competition against yourself where you are scored on a scale of 1-5, one being the highest score, and we earned sweepstakes, the highest honor meaning we earned a score of "1" from 6 different judges in concert and sightreading. Another great thing about this week was we got Friday off of school because of Good Friday. Tomorrow is Easter and I can't wait to wake up, open an easter basket, go to church, participate in some easter egg hunts... the list goes on and on! It's gonna be great!
Until next time... Katie!
