Emergency Appeal : Act now for peace in Darfur

I got an e-mail from Amnesty International this morning. Here's a bit of it.

Sometimes things come in waves. I just heard an interview on CBC radio with a Canadian police officer from Waterloo, Ontario, who's been to Darfur a few times to get people's stories. (with the US State Department and the UN)

As she spoke, I was reminded over and over again of Gen. Roméo Dallaire and how broken he was when he was left powerless in the face of genocide in Rwanda.

This officer, too, felt that her reports would lead to action. Her reports contributed to Colin Powell's declaration that the Sudanese are, in fact, committing genocide. But the people of Darfur continue to wait. And this officer continues to tell their stories.

The interview hasn't been posted yet, but when it is the URL will be

Thank you.
