Girifna is a Sudanese movement that is opposed to “war, corruption, dictatorship, injustice, and discrimination against minorities.” It was founded by university students in October 2009. The word ''Girifna means'' “we are fed up” in Arabic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =UN Refugee Agency )〕 Freedom House describes Girifna as a youth-run non-violent resistance movement.〔 ''Peace Monitor'' hails the movement as a non-violent organization actively working to foster peace. “They are working for peace, equality and trying to build a broader understanding between people that have been engaged in conflict against each other for such a long time.” ==Founding== The group was established in October 2009. It began as a campaign to defeat the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) in the 2010 national elections, or, according to at least one source, as a voter-registration movement in that same year's elections.〔 Girifna was founded two days before the voter-registration process began. It was the country's first multi-party election in almost a quarter-century, and the founders of Girifna saw it “as an opportunity for peaceful change.” According to one source, Girifna has two co-founders, Nagi Musa and Rudwan Dawod.〔 Another source describes it as having been founded along with a third ]student in the city of Omdurman.〔 Ghazi Mohammed Abuzied, a chemical engineering student, “joined Girifna on Facebook before the elections and offered to volunteer his time,” according to the ''Washington Post''. He now “coordinates the movement's activities in Khartoum, arranging when volunteers go to markets and bus stations to speak and hand out leaflets.”〔 Hisham Haj Omar, a Sudanese living in New York, helped build Girifna's website.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Girifna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
