The largest humanitarian crisis in the world.

Ten years after the outbreak of the war and the start of what has been called "the largest humanitarian crisis in the world" in Darfur continue to die.

It is a conflict, that of Darfur, despite the efforts of many organizations, first of all Italians for Darfur, and the commitment of testimonial important in Italy and abroad, has not yet made great grip on traditional media and so it is little known to the general public.

It is not very well known, for example, that about 50 percent of the population of Darfur has been directly involved in the conflict; that, in spite of resolutions on disarmament of militias and the arms embargo approved since 2004, they continue to circulate; that imposing mission of UN peacekeepers has essentially failed the aim to restore peace.

Even today, the budget of the Darfur crisis is heavy and does not seem to improve. There are few people in excess of 35 years of life, many children die before they have completed six every day 75 of them die. Schooling is still very low and you are unable to ensure minimum education only 65 percent of children, most of whom still live in refugee camps, however, suffers from depression and post-traumatic disorders.

True, the large-scale hostilities between the rebel groups and the Sudanese army (and his troops) are abated since 2008. Pockets of resistance, but the rebellion continued to oppose the armed forces of the Khartoum government, which has continued his campaign in the final weeks of bombings and attacks against insurgent strongholds. The return of refugees to their places of origin (over 400,000 by the end of 2011 to spring 2012) was broken. In fact, you continue to flee from Darfur.

According to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs of the United Nations, the number of internally displaced people in the camps who are receiving food aid has risen to 1,430,000 and more than two million people in Darfur continue to be directly affected by the conflict. Other refugees are 280,000 refugees in eastern Chad.

The ratio of Italians for Darfur does not fail to examine other areas of crisis and instability in the country, such as the states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile, as well as the continuous frictions between Sudan and South Sudan, the new African born July 9, 2011.

A separate chapter is devoted arrival, with more than a year late but with much decision, the "Arab Spring" in Sudan, which have been particularly active students Darfurians.

The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Fatou Bensouda, recently told the Security Council of the United Nations "in Sudan crimes continue to be committed with the goal declared by the government to stop the rebellion in Darfur." The episodes considered include bombings, ground attacks, blocking the distribution of humanitarian aid and direct violence against civilian populations.

The ratio of Italians for Darfur should be read in its entirety. He talks about a part of the world that is seemingly far away. Of how close we realize when we see among us the "product" of the war refugees. Their journey often begins in the African lands ravaged by war.
