    Bashir is proving hmself to the world’s most elusive prsident, just like Qaddafi in the eighties. Hope he gets the message this time and do things right.

    Darfur Awareness,

    I admire your blog very much. My name is Kate Scully, I am one of the key organizers of the upcoming student conference “Never Again”: The Student Conference to End Genocide in Darfur.

    Some time ago, our teacher (as well as John Predergast- he sent us his book before it was published..I do believe it’s still under review.) inspired us to take action on Darfur. Stumbled by the limited capabilities (or so we thought) of high school students, we never realized how much of a difference we could really make. We came up with the idea of a three day conference to raise student awareness on the issue; one of the fundamental beginning steps towards change.
    The conference will take place on February 10th, 11th, and 12th at the New School of Northern Virginia. We have had many offers from Universities for conference space, but decided to keep it on our home turf.
    February 10th is called the “Problem” day. From 9AM-5PM on this day, students that are attending will be educated by a series of nationally renowned non-profits including Amnesty International, World Vision, Darfur Peace and Development,Save Darfur, STAND, the Genocide Intervention Network, and many more. There will be a showing of “Darfur Diaries” (which is now also a book!) and a panel discussion between the students and their educators. Congressman James Moran is the opening key-note speaker for this day. A continental breakfast and lunch will be provided.
    February 11th is the “Solutions” Day. From 9AM-5PM , the students that are attending will learn how to lobby through speakers with audit and PowerPoint presentations; as well as an intensive workshop provided by Amnesty International. The lobbying workshop and various presentations on lobbying will prepare students for the following day. A continental breakfast and lunch will also be provided on this day.
    The last day, February 12th, is World Refugees Day. On this day, the students will meet as a collective group at the Capitol in Washington D.C . and lobby for Darfur . Appointments have been set up with numerous congressmen & working staff so that the students can come face to face with their legislators and demand that America fight the war on Genocide.
    One of the first steps towards change is student outcry. We need an uproar. We need a group of dedicated students to come and fight for the less fortuanate, the dying, for humanity. Please help us find students that are dedicated to doing just this. Any way you can help would be greatly appreciated.
    I can send you our press release, confirmed speakers, layouts, and basic informations sheet. We would love to keep in touch with you.

    Thanks so much,
    Kate

    respected presidents or “wise men”.

    That’s a quote from the original article. Allow me to provide a dissenting voice: I tend to think that the AU chairmanship still rotates amongst a bunch of European welfare-state-educated socialist crooks.

    This new development will change nothing in developing African countries (unfortunately). The fellow crooks simply realized that they needed to take the heat off of their fellow mob capitano.

    Drima:

    You are one of a kind. I’ve gotta admit you’ve got heart. Keep doing what you are doing. And I hope to see you back again!

    Wise move!!!

    Drima, I have been hearing that many Darfurians are claiming that the situation is being blown out of proportion by the international media.
    I don’t know what to believe anymore:(

    […] And so is The Sudanese Thinker. Both of them also shared their thoughts on China. Black Kush blogged a post entitled “The Chinese Are Coming!”: This cry used to cause fear around the world, but it is too late now. They are already here, at least that is what the situation is in Sudan. […]
