Hi! Just wanted to remind everyone to please post messages of support at SGN for them to pass along to the refugees. Hopefully, i-ACT 5 will find safe passage to at least one camp this week. This feels too much like the end of i-ACT 4. Let's pray the team's next reports are more positive.

Peace, Lisa

Hey Lisa - unfortunately that was not to be the case again, hey.

Hope you and "Team Goldner" are all doing well.

It is still only a few hours since news broke that Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the international prosecutor, will seek an arrest warrant for Sudan's President, Omar al-Bashir from ICC judges in the Hague on Monday and already the online news sites are ablaze with commentary and opinions that suggest such a move could be devastating for the peace process in the region.

(just "google news" icc/al bashir and you'll get the latest - Times-online has a goodie as does the Washington Post)

I do not know how things could get much worse than they already are but the one thing I believe deeply is that lasting peace will NEVER occur without justice being served.

If advance diplomatic fears exist regarding the probabilitiy of Al-Bashir retaliating against the issue of an arrest warrant then isn't it time for the mandated international force to get in there and protect rather than calls being made to defer the warrant issue for 12 months???

Mia Farrow and the Nobel Women's Initiative joined them yesterday.

Very impressive.

Hmmm...I hope this is the most current Sudan thread. Please let me know if it isn't.

Thought you'd all like to read this Huffington Post piece by Darfur activist Susan Morgan, in case you haven't already. It's a great Op-Ed. I certainly hope that it pushes the presidential campaigns to mention Darfur more. (Crossing my fingers that Darfur is discussed at length during tomorrow's foreign policy debate [assuming that the the debate actually happens].)
