Darfur Be Damned

New York Inquirer (Part 4)

Thursday, August 03, 2006

The New York Inquirer continues its excellent reporting about the genocide in Darfur. Today's pieces are more in depth and technical than the others, but there is some great reporting. There is also an explanation about Minni Minnawi and his role in all of this.

Here's the best quote from the articles:

The US has given more than $1 billion in aid to the crisis in Darfur. Bush has taken a personal stake. Yet, the situation is no better than it was a year ago. Does the shell game move too quickly, and would a UN force do any better?

There's no quick answer to this, unfortunately. But at least it's the right question to ask.

Darfur Be Damned

After meeting Sudanese refugees in Nashville, Sam Davidson was shocked about what was happening half a world away. He was even more shocked exaclty how difficult it was to find information about the atrocities of this genocide. An information junkie, revolution starter and passionate pacifist, Sam keeps you updated on what's happening when it's happening so that apathy will become extinct.
