I Dropped The Ball On Dafur...

I feel quite ashamed at my level ignorance with respect to the Dafur conflict. I have always had a passing interest in the Dafur conflict. It's a shame that an African like moi, who had the the oppourtunity to walk the scorching sunlight of <a href="https://www.omodudu.com/2007/02/to-westkhartoum_19.html">Khartoum Talata</a>. I have rocked a banner or two or even made a <a href="https://www.omodudu.com/2006/09/do-something-about-dafur.html">post</a> on this blog to push the save-Dafur-message. But beyond that I have been so uninformed about this conflict. I assumed the Dafur conflict was one and the same as the North-South civil war of the '90's. I learned today that the Dafur conflict is not the same as the Sudanese civil war that I read about as a youngster. This is different and much more venomous. I nearly lost my claim to Duduness(blackness) due to this blunder, so as a form of penance. I will dedicate the next 5 post (border-ine spamming) on this blog to Dafur. Sokari also dropped some useful links. <a href="http://www.sudanreeves.org/">Sudan Reeves</a> <a href="http://platform.blogs.com/passionofthepresent/">Passion of the present. </a>Omodudu
