Darfur Rally.
On the weekend I attended a rally at Ramsden Park to stop the violence in Africa's Darfur region - it was organized by the Save Darfur Coalition. This was part of a global Day for Darfur and marked the anniversary of the UN's unfulfilled promise to protect civilians around the world.
Retired General and now Senator Romeo Dallaire was one of several speakers to call for an end to the violence in the beleaguered region of Sudan.
"Twelve years ago I failed to mobilize anybody to come to try and protect hundreds of thousands of Rwandans from slaughter," said Dallaire, who led an unsuccessful United Nations mission during the Rwandan genocide and is now pushing for a major international force to go into Sudan and stabilize Darfur.
"Darfur is tasting, smelling, looking in every way, shape and form like a repetition on a similar scale of what happened in Rwanda," he said.
