Not on Our Watch: The Mission to End Genocide in Darfur and Beyond by Don Cheadle

3.0

I wish I have read this a decade ago. I once loved a book, entitled 'Inyenzi' by Andrew Brown, which was a fictional book that perhaps was based on the genocide in Rwanda. I picked this book up because it is also about genocide but not fictional. It even was written for a cause. The authors wrote about the reality of the victims, oppressors and the governments involved. They wrote about the efforts they've done and what else everyone can do. Their activism for the lives of the people in Darfur is an inspiration that compels the reader to help their co-creations, even outside of their nations. Even though there is no war within the city I live in, it shouldn't blind me of the fact that there is an ongoing war somewhere else (especially now in the southern part of my country). This book is a call to the apathetics to just do something, anything to help or raise awareness.
