Sudan has been wracked almost continuously by civil war since achieving
independence in 1956. Recently a peace agreement was signed between
warring factions in the north and southern parts of the country. However
the western region known as Darfur demands the attention of the world as
reports of genocide continue. This program is an attempt to support
efforts to avert genocide from continuing in the country of Sudan.
Please attend a program to address the realities of Darfur:
