![]() I've now permanently moved my blog over to http://chocolateandvodka.com/ and will no long be updating this version, other than with the occasional summary of new posts. Please do not leave comments here, but instead find the equivalent post on my new site, and comment there instead. Comments left here will not be published, as I'd like to keep things all together on the new installation. Sorry if this is an inconvenience. |
Please don't ban Band Aid 20
by
Ingrid
Any contribution that helps to provide aid or raise awareness of genocide in Darfur is better than no contribution at all.
To see why please read my Nov 15 post "The New Killing Fields in Darfur, Sudan" at http://passionofthepresent.org
Two million Sudanese have been slaughtered over the past 15 years.
UN figures for past 6 months (they provide no figures for the previous 13 months) confirm death toll in Darfur as 70,000.
10,000 each month are still dying in camps from malnutrion, disease and violence.
Experts estimate the death toll over the past 20 months up until this Christmas could reach 300,000.
Rwanda in slow motion.
Band Aid 20 will bring awareness to a whole new generation (including some of the participants) and remind those who remember the original song that things are very much worse in Darfur 20 years later.
The men, women and children of Darfur need all the help and publicity they can get. Please spread the word. Thank you.
