    Many thanks for shedding light on one of the most important and not so talked about topics. But I am saddened to see that you have failed to mention the Armenian genocide, which was one of the first genocides of the 20th century. You have listed the Turkish genocide from 1915-1923, but I believe you meant to state the Armenian genocide, since it was committed by the Turks.

    This article is a real eye opener. I had no idea that genocide is still occuring and isn't just a thing of the past. I think a lot more needs to be done to raise the awarness of people in areas not affected by this. I believe more people would do something about it if a) it was real to them that this is happening and b) there was something that they knew they could do to make a difference.

    I read all the articles you recommended, it really drives the point home doesn't it? The Srebreneca Genocide is very sad, I think the point being made in the above article on Mans inhumanity to man has everything to do with that and doing something about it.

    I understand your comment, there are certainly a lot of numbers listed, but the heart of that article, the message, is not about the numbers, but, I think, about the humanity in us all and recognizing that we should get active in making a difference.

    Articles like the ones you suggested definitely contribute to raising the awareness of this and, I hope, also to raising our determination to do something about it.

    This is an incredible eyeopener, makes you realize that life isn't all about your own backyard. People who together want to make something good happen can do that, I mean if just 100 people would join togther to do something about this they easily could. It's a matter of building up a society and creating it with joy and interest.

    It is sad how human beings can be so evil to one another. I pray that some day we'll put an end to this madness once and for all.

    I was deeply moved when I read this article. Mans inhumanity to man. It somehow never touched me before. For the first time I want to help. I am doing more reasearch now, but I hope to see more.
