For A Hundred & One

This is something serious (the subject, not my writing). The BBC currently has an excellent mainpage headlining the crisis in Darfur. I have linked all the stories below.

Take a moment to visit SaveDarfur.org.

Darfur is a nation (composed of human beings) which has concerned of this writer for a long time. There is a genocide (according to Congress, July 23, 2004) occurring within its borders. I have not read the BBC's pieces' yet (too tired after a fourteen hour workday), but a word first about the AU (African Union): it has been largely ineffective during peacekeeping missions. These links won't work forever, so hop to some self education (cause knowledge is power!).

• AU backs UN plan for Sudan force
• 'Little cheer' from Sudan peace
• Q&A: Sudan's Darfur conflict
• How many have died in Darfur?
