Continuing Crisis in Sudan

It's been a long time since we heard anything from major news networks regarding the genocide happening in Sudan, at least in Britain or the U.S. Yet, run "Darfur" through Google and you'll find plenty of up-to-date info. Needless to say, it's still a problem and the response of world leaders is less than satisfactory.

Focus on the Family has reported that "religious leaders" are trying to get the attention of the U.S. government regarding the crisis. LINK (I'm not always completely on the same page with Focus, but I know we're on the same team.)

A TV ad attempting to call media attention to the Sudan crisis (made by American Progress Action Fund) was rejected by all of the major American news networks. It's a great commercial. However, I'm not sure why APAF expected to get permission to run a commercial that slated the very networks that would run it.

I finally saw "Hotel Rwanda" when I was in the States this last summer and it immediately had me thinking, "I hope we've learned our lesson so the same thing doesn't happen in Sudan." Looks like Don Cheadle is thinking the same thing. LINK
