It seems especially pressing to be discussing this now, as the International Criminal Court just issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir. The charges of "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity" have sadly almost at times become commonspeak in our world, but the semantics are nothing compared to the atrocities that the Darfur region of the Sudan has suffered in the past six years.
This Sunday at 6pm, a group of us are gathering to watch the 2007 documentary Darfur Now and start a discussion on what we can do for Darfur and the people who have suffered within this region. If you're free and in the area, come and join us. We'll be meeting in the Northeast Community Church community room at 18 Knight Street in Norwalk, CT. Everyone's welcome. Pass this on if you are so inclined.
There's no pop quiz, there's no guilt-tripping, there's just honest and earnest conversation about Darfur what we can do for Darfur Now.
