Wednesday Darfur
We will be silent regarding Beijing, but we will give money, and don’t get me wrong, money is greatly needed to prevent starvation and malnutrition in Darfur.

We need to try harder or the results for Darfur will be more devastating, if that is even possible. The sense of urgency regarding Darfur can not be diminished, or the result will be death.
