unroll your tongue - it's lobby time on darfur...

sadly an entire generation is coming of age in the midst of a massive human rights atrocity...

the children of darfur are overwhelmed by fear...daily bloodshed has sent the death toll in darfur spiraling upward to more than 200,000...the number of displaced has reached more than 2.6 million darfuri civilians...among them are some one million children, most living in sprawling makeshift idp and refugee camps, some the size of a city...many children are frustrated by living in constant fear, without any idea when they will return home...many of these camps are awash with weapons, and there is growing concern about the children recruited by militias and armed rebel groups...

peace out <3
