Darfur Resources
Allthings2all has called for a round-up of posts about the genocide in Darfur, a region of the Sudan. I foound found the general ignorance of the topic immense, so my repsonse has been to put together some resources so people can fully educate themselves.
- Here is the CIA factbook on the Sudan, always a useful place to start when trying to learn about an international situation.
- The Library of Congress has put together a web page to allow for great exploration of the Sudan
- Wikipedia has a very thorough look at the Darfur conflict in specific.
- I also found something called the Darfur Information Center. It is from a guy at the University of Pennsylvania.
FROM A CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE
- Christianity Today had an article just this past week on the subject.
- Transforming Sermons also had some interesting comments from a Christian perspective.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Two aid organizations that I found is a great place to start. Doctors without Borders is an old Blogotional stand-by. I am unfamiliar with USAID, but they look like a great place from this web site. This is one of those give till it hurts deals. Why not start today?
