A Darfur Simulation

"In the Darfur region of western Sudan, a genocide is occuring. Each day, civilians face prospects of mass killings, torture, rape, destruction of villages, theft and other human right abuses at the hands of the Janjaweed militias, bands of fighters backed by the Sudanese government. Since the start of the conflict in Darfur in February of 2003, nearly 3 million people have been affected by the crisis and more than 300,000 people have died from the conflict and deseases. Darfur is Dying is a narrative-based simulation where the user, from the perspective of a displaced Darfurian, negotiates forces that threaten the survival of his or her refugee camp. It offers a faint glimpse of what it's like for the more than 2.5 million who have been internally displaced by the crisis in Sudan.Artists Kanye West, Serj Tankian from System of a Down and Olympic gold medalist Joey Cheek are just a few of the people participating in the online launch of 'Darfur is Dying' and are encouraging their families, friends and fans to play the game."
