In conjunction with United to End Genocide's call for a world wide "Day of Action" - we are having an informational meeting about Sudan (East Africa). Sudan is a very poor country - and it is very troubled. Millions of people left homeless years ago during the worst of the Darfur Genocide remain stranded in refugee camps. New troubles are arising (again) at the border with (now independent) South Sudan - and half a million civillians are already homeless there as a result of ongoing conflict. We will discuss these happenings, and try to understand them better. Jay Spaulding - from Kean University - in Union NJ - is going to speak
