Darfur

For this weekends research i decided to look up more about Darfur. I wanted to have all the background information just in case I needed it in the future. I went to http://www.savedarfur.org/section/learn where I found a list of articles, books, videos and pictures all teaching about Darfur. Several were up to date on news and had day by day updates. While on this site I watched a video called "Darfur: The Quick and Terrible". It was about a woman who went to Darfur to learn about the situation there. She talked to natives and army men, gathering information about what started the genocide and why it is so hard to stop. This video is about 24 minutes long and holds some really good information about current issues in Darfur. I think it is a creditably site because of its many resources as well as the evidence they present to prove their information is real. I advise anyone who would like to learn about Darfur to explore this site. It proved very useful to me in my research. To my group mates, Darfur and the current situation there does not directly relate to my writing component but if we wanted to put information about it in our script our the research paper this is a great site.
