In Israel, we get refugees from Darfur who seek shelter here. Life for them here is no fun but much better than where they came from.

They are like the fact that there is a right and wrong. And they can easily feel better about it by sending a cheque to the charity of thier choice.

While the situation in Darfur is dramatic and dire, there are a number of other situations on the African continent that demand attention and, generally, receive a small fraction of the attention paid to Darfur

I’d be very interested in going through his back writing and figuring out when his focus shifted from the South to the West of Sudan

Once those factors are taken into account it becomes more like those other messy conflicts in Africa – northern Uganda, Ogaden, Somalia, DRC – which so often drop off the media radar.

I honestly still don’t think people are paying attention. To any of these places. I recently started my own organization to raise awareness and what I found when I talked to people is that most of them have no idea anything is happening in Africa. On the rare occurences that Africa is in the news, people tune out. It’s overwhelming and it’s always been a problem. I’m trying to bring awareness to them in an easier and less dramatic way and hope that I can cover Darfur, Uganda and the DRC in a one-stop-shop. let me know whatever i can do to help!
