Slog - Comments on Darfur Wall Lights Up http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/01/darfur_wall_lights_up My friend/enemy Jonah Burke got some local press this weekend for his web project raising money for Darfur. The website lists numbers 1 to 400,000, all in gray, representing those killed in the fighting. Whenever someone donates a dollar or more, one of the numbers lights up.

All the natives of Darfur are going to be dead soon, and won't need money. The government in Sudan is bombing them now.

They're worse than Saddam, and by body count at least quite a bit worse than Osame bin Laden's gang (which they have close ties to).

You can read more here.

There's also news about the project, including announcements of disbursements and letters from our beneficiaries, on our blog at blog.darfurwall.org.

They don't just have close ties, Osama was in Sudan founding that Islamo-shit long before he was ever in Afganistan. Who would have known it would turn into Darfur? Ahmed Rashid commented on the dire consequences long before 9/11.
