Alternative Opening Ceremony

The Darfur Olympics (www.darfurolympics.org) is a protest to keep the spotlight on the people of Darfur during the Beijing Games. If you do not want to watch China glorify itself during the Games, alternative opening ceremony -- a one-minute celebration of Darfurian children. And, every day for the first week of the Games (August 8 to 15) we will show a new daily webcast report from Mia Farrow from a Darfurian refugee camp. Watch our online concert, too. Artists who donated videos: REM, Talib Kweli, 420 Funk Mob with guest George Clinton, The Jones Street Boys, and Stephanie McKay. (www.darfurolympics.org)

This project of yours is nothing but net.

This February I was to Sudan, not to Darfur Region, though close call and was flabbergasted by the atrocities - or would I put it genocide - committed by china and the like.

Kids and women are forced to gift their blood for oil.

The fact : china is sucking the oil from Sudan

The fact : china is supporting the rulers in Sudan

i agree that what happens in darfur is genocide but i dont understand why china is getting all the greif! its like people focus on criticising china more than sudan! yes china has strong trade links with sudan but its SUDAN thats doing the killing, u wanna save the people in darfur? urge ure own governmnet to take direct military action, most direct way of stopping it, stop hating on the olympics, do something about sudan not its trade partners!
