Day 10: Mia Farrow: Hunger Strike for Darfur - May 06, 2009

http://fastdarfur.org

No food for me for ten days now, to protest the expulsion of humanitarians from all of Sudan (including, of course, the Darfur region and the refugee camps). Please contact President Obama at http://www.whitehouse.gov/CONTACT. Tell him he must keep his promise to help the people of Darfur. For more information go to http://www.miafarrow.org.

I am amazed at how many ignorant people there are who don't even know, or bother to look up, who Mia Farrow is. She is a lot more than just Woody Allen's ex, for goodness sakes. And though I don't agree with her politics in general, horrible things ARE happening in Darfur and the U.S. SHOULD intervene, and at least Mia is trying to do something about it!

I love you Mia! Your heart, mind, and soul is in the right place. Unfortunately people like to attack the saints instead of focusing their anger to do positive things. You did the right thing. Public awareness will not open the minds of some people but a few is better than none. You sacrificed your life for the well being of others & I will defend you till my dying day.

Peace4evermore~

@akaRubyHeart -- Mia and Woody adopted children when they were together, and Woody left Mia so he could marry one of their adopted children! He's married to her now, Soon Yi Allen!

@akaRubyHeart Wow, I didnt know she was Woody Allen's ex! I just know her for her acting.

Mia is wonderful. The problem with UNICEF is that its founder, Julian Huxley was an ardent Malthusian-eugenics ideologue who believed that the poor were "useless eaters" who should be allowed to perish when disaster comes so that the rich can occupy their natural resources. In Rwanda the West knew very well what was about to happen but did nothing. As Steven Lewis said, Rwanda had nothing to sell, nothing to buy" so too bad for the hundreds of thousands who were slaughtered.

Mia, all can contact Project Censored (online) on important under-reported stories. They specialize in exposing the suppression of critical stories.

I never trust celebs (especially fading ones) who take up humanitarian causes. Part of me will always believe it's for show, for attention. So she went on a hunger strike, so what? It solved nothing. I have more respect for celebs who work behind the scenes for charity, like Steve Buscemi, who quietly donated all types of cash to NYC fire fighters after 9/11. He just wanted to help, he didn't want attention.
