Darfur is Dying: Would That It Were Only a Game

You are a 14-year-old girl named Elham and you live in a camp for internally displaced people (IDPs) in Darfur. Or maybe you are Elham's 12-year-old brother, Jaja. Or perhaps you are Elham's and Jaja's young mother, Sittina.

Now, as any of these people, you must leave the relative safety of your camp to find water.

What will happen to you?

Play mtvU's game "Darfur is Dying" to find out. From the comfort of your computer, you may just find that your avatar becomes another of the the hundreds of thousands lost to genocide in Darfur.

In Darfur, Sudan, genocide is raging.

Every day, government-backed militias kill, torture, and rape people, and burn villages to the ground. It's hard to visualize what life is like for those who survive. Playing this game can help.

And awareness can stir your conscience and breed action. So play, then take action to end the genocide in Darfur. Find out how UUSC can help you through our Drumbeat for Darfur campaign.
