Darfur

Sunday afternoon, a sizeable crowd marched from the University of Winnipeg to the Legislature to express their concern about the situation in Darfur. As I walked with others to draw attention to this important issue, I talked with individuals who have come from Africa to Manitoba, or who have visited Africa recently. There is a big concern that this is a repeat of the genocide which happened in Rwanda, and that the world is not acting to prevent the tragedy in Darfur.
