what can we do, in the face of such heartlessness and corruption, as devilstower's excellent diary describes?

keep beating the drum for a global consciusness, emerging maybe a generation down the line as a global conscience

oh and most important: teach our kids critical thinking!

Re: Darfur - EU policy? (none / 0)

I think one of the things we can do is stay informed and keep other informed and remember that Africa is not one monolithic continent much like Europe there are great variations across the continent and success stories along with the tragedies. There are many African initiatives that are worth highlighting more. One of them is The African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD)

Alexandra, Colman pointed out the Dkos article to me...so I took the liberty of putting this back in front of all our eyes. The situation really is awful, but...its in Africa...which (very sad to say) seems to be more easily ignored. So we bang the drum some more...

Thanks Bob. I added a few updates to some of the comments.

It might be interesting to post a link to this ET discussion on the current Dkos article. I'm not a member over a Dkos so someone else would have to take that initiative.
