Darfur at Blogger!

In class we've been discussing a bit about the massacre of people in Darfur, where thousands of people have been killed by the Janjaweed and have fled their homes into Chad as refugees. Well, I decided to do some research on Google, and somehow came to a page at blogger.com (our site). This one girl from New Zealand, Catez Stevens (Allthings2all), has her own interesting blog on the issue. She has so many links with information that's definately worth checking out. I watched 2 mini movie clips on Darfur. Many show powerful images and a look into one individual village. I think you guys should check out her main page. You can click the blue phrases to go straight to articles and comments. I bet you'll definately be surprised to learn a variety of new facts and stories. There's also an article with pics on women who were raped by Janjaweed and became pregnant. At SUDAN WATCH, another blogger page, you can read into that story and watch a "Darfur Hope" mini clip as well. It's a very sad issue, but luckily these sites help you discover just what's happening in Sudan. Here's her page...
