Darfur Survivors Vie for G8 Attention

On Wednesday, survivors of the Darfur genocide set ablaze make-shift huts, re-enacting the brutal tactics of the Khartoum government. Protesting the lack of action from the UN, NATO, and G8 nations, the protestors quite literally brought to the spotlight their continued plight under the brutal Khartoum government.

Whereas all of our condolences go out to the fifty plus victims of yesterday's bombing in London, let us not forget the continued systematic annihilation of thousands still going on in Darfur. All of us are human beings and thus precious whether living in a large city like London or the poorer rural areas in the Sudan of Africa.
