Columnist Nicholas D. Kristof updates the story of Suad, a refugee from Darfur now living in Eastern Chad, who saved her little sister, Halima, from a Janjaweed attack.
wow... the trouble with the political situation in Sudan and the U.S. is that the Americans don't have enough personal involvement in the conflict, and thus don't have any incentive to help. It's things like this that will get people's attention, make them realize that this conflict isn't about a generic group of people thousands of miles away. The Genocide in Darfur needs a face, and it looks like Nick is trying to give it one. Well done.
Thanks so much for this - we need things like this to remind us of the urgency of the situation. We're so removed from it all and it is easy to forget, but thank goodness globalization/technology today gives us no excuse, at all. Thank you.

Wow, that was powerful... not unlike all of the work you do.
I especially appreciate what you said about the inactivity world leaders and the UN. What will it take to move them to action?
Keep these videos coming... the world needs to see them.
