The Darfur Olympics

JanforGore
Most Olympic corporate sponsors have been silent about China's financing of the Darfur genocide, even as they enhance Beijing's image by spending billions of dollars on the Olympics. Take action: change the channel when sponsors' commercials air during the Games. Join those who will watch Mia Farrow reporting from a Darfurian refugee camp during the Olympics.
~~~~~
There are videos at this link for every day since the opening ceremony dealing with another aspect of this genocide in Darfur. We must not forget what is happening while the Chinese government hopes to use the Olympic Games to escape culpability for their supplying arms to Sudan that is contributing to the atrocities and rape of its people.

Thank you, Mia Farrow.

    • Yes, escaping culpability for their crimes by ignoring their involvement. Where is it posted here that they are "hiding" from it. How about addressing the atrocities they are contributing to instead of simply trying to "get me" with semantics?

    • Uh....putting yourself in front of people for world criticism by hosting the Olympics isn't hiding from what you've been doing.

      They've never hid. They ignore. Difference.
