Bad News From Darfur

From Reuters:

GENEVA (Reuters) - United Nations human rights monitors on Friday accused Sudan's army of dropping bombs on villages in North Darfur, killing and injuring civilians, and driving hundreds of people from their homes.

"All indications are this kind of attack is continuing."

Monitors also reported continuing rapes and sexual violence against women by military or militia known as Janjaweed around camps for the displaced in South Darfur, Diaz said.

Write the President and remind him of the urgency of this situation.

Hi Josh,
I am glad to see you're covering this as well. Just a heads up that Paul Rusesabagina will be in Nashville on Monday. (Don Cheadle played him in Hotel Rwanda)
We have to stop the genocide!
You might want to copy and paste the press release from my site.
Hope to see you Monday.
