"The best hope for Darfur right now is for the wealthy countries of the West, like Canada, to do all they can to support the African Union in its efforts to bring security and stability to Darfur."

"The whole situation [in Darfur] smacks of a repeat of the Rwandan genocide."
-- General Roméo Dallaire,
Ottawa Citizen, June 2005

• ALL ABOUT DARFUR
  Up until now the perilous situation in Darfur has been seen only from outside the country. Here is a unique opportunity to hear it explained by eloquent, diverse, even contradictory voices from within Sudan. The director, of Sudanese heritage herself, talks to ordinary Sudanese in outdoor tea shops, markets, refugee camps, and living rooms about how deeply rooted prejudices could suddenly burst into a wild fire of ethnic violence. Women's stories and their perspectives on history are especially given center stage.
