Awesome posts today about Darfur, Villager!
I can always count on learning something from The Village...thank you!
Ms. Marvalus - I've learned more about Darfur this week in preparation for the Global Day for Darfur blogblast than at any point in the past. It is truly amazing what we can do individually and collectively if we simply put our minds to it...
I have learned a lot as well. I do wonder why no one has been harder on Hillary and Bill Clinton on Rwanda, and now the Sudan genocide, or "ethnic cleansing". Not to make this political, but I could never understand how we turned a blind eye to nearly 1 million Africans being killed. Especially when talking about Bosnia in recent news. We chose Sarajevo over Rwanda, it was an either or choice instead of a both.
I hope whomever becomes our next President will go a step further and really reach out to help the continent of Africa.
Mrs. Grapevine - Very few people seem to care about US foriegn policy when it comes to Africa. That hasn't changed since our engagement in Somalia. Oddly enough, George W. Bush has been more engaged with Africa than any president in my generation...
