:Title: CRISIS in Sudan/Chad - 2008 :Author: Gayle Rogers :Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2008 16:32:18 PST :Modified: Tue, 05 Feb 2008 01:57:11 PST :URL: http://www.ned.com/group/community-general/news/114/ Educate, Advocate and Mobilize. ____________________________________________________ The Crisis in Darfur has now spread significantly into Chad. A military Coup launched against the Chadian Presidency of Idriss Deby at the beginning of February 2008 has seen the capital N'Djamena under heavy fire, NGO and Aid Community staff evacuated and the Refugee Camps inside the Chadian border - home to more than 150,000 Darfuris and internally displaced Chadians - left more vulnerable to open attack than ever before. The following website links will connect you to the most active, engaged and up-to-date information, campaigns and activist groups working together to bring this insanity to an end. * `STOP GENOCIDE NOW 2008`_ **Grass-roots Interactive Global Activism** - Projects include **"i-ACT"** - filmed and reported **directly** from the Refugee Camps of Eastern Chad by `GABRIEL STAURING`_ and `KATIE-JAY SCOTT`_ and the team (including `NINY KHOR`_ ) - and **"Camp Darfur"** - an interactive awareness and education event that brings attention to the ongoing genocide in Darfur, Sudan, and gives individuals the opportunity to discover their own power to make a difference. A traveling refugee camp coming to your community. * `Genocide Intervention Network (GI-Net)`_ `Mark Hanis`_ and the team at Genocide Intervention Network envision a world in which the global community is willing and able to protect civilians from genocide and mass atrocities.
