SF Bay Area Darfur Coalition--> Guest Speaker

This is Julia Borelli (im working on getting my own account)

I wanted to hear about everyones responses to the guest speaker we had today regarding the genocide in Darfur.

I have also thought of some question that I would be interesting to think about and discuss.

-Why do you think that the efforts made to better the situation have not made sigficant change?
-Why has the problem worsed over the last decade?
-Which group has been most effective in their efforts to help the situation?
-Why do you think the genocide in Darfur and Sudan as a whole have lasted so long?
-What do you believe to be possible outcomes of this issue? Do you see a way that it can be resolved?

These are some of the sights she listed, as well as other informational sights:
