Using Video to Shed Light on Darfur

cfr-darfur.jpg

The Council on Foreign Relations recently won an Emmy for its video Crisis Guide on Darfur. I’ve gotten through the first two chapters and I can tell you that it is extremely informative. It highlights both the devastation that the civil war has wrought on the Sudanese and also the efforts of the international community to bring peace to the region. The “Historical background” section is narrated by Assistant Secretary for International Organization Affairs at the State Department.

Have a look.
