Things Fall Apart


Jerry Fowler of the Committee on Conscience interviewed Ken Bacon of Refugees International on the Voices on Genocide Prevention podcast this week. Violence in Darfur is increasing and humanitarian organizations access to the region is decreasing and Sudan still refuses to approve a hybrid African Union/United Nations peacekeeping force.

This news is sad and discouraging. We have worked so hard for the past three years that it sometimes feels as if we have accomplished nothing and that the situation in Darfur is twisting out of control. We can at least be encouraged by Bacon's observation that President Omar al-Bashir is angry about the Save Darfur movement.
