Review of The Devil Came on Horseback (2007) by Patricio R — 13 Nov 2007

I usually read Nicholas Kristof so I am well aware of the disaster in Darfur and the inaction of everyone including myself. The documentary worked for me as a graphic complement to a situation that is downright intolerable. I just don't know what to do (I live in the US but I am on a student visa meaning that I cannot write to my local representative). Sadly, Darfur looks like a dead end, military intervention with the authorization of the Security Council will not happen because China will deny it, unilateral intervention is almost impossible nowadays given what happened in Iraq, Muslim countries don't give a damn about the situation, even though the murderers and the murdered are mainly muslims, Europeans are so full of themselves that they don't have time for other countries, even Gordon Brown seems useless.

This documentary needs to be seen by everyone right now, maybe someone will come up with an idea to push into action those with the power to stop this catastrophe.
