30-Hour Famine

30-Hour Famine 03/30/2005 09:15 PM
Darren Barefoot writes: Hi folks, I’m doing the 30-Hour Famine. The 30-Hour Famine is a program run by World Vision Canada, an NGO that fights hunger in the developing world. For 30 hours on April 1st and 2nd, I won’t eat, as a kind of symbolic gesture of support for the 800 million malnourished and starving people in the developing world. At the same time, of course, I’m raising money….

Just not in time: In Somalia, there were stick-thin figures on our nightly television when former President Bush decided to send in American troops [in December 1992]. In Darfur, the pictures aren't as graphic yet... What's going to start killing them in large numbers, which will then create the dramatic graphics that will - three months from now - instill the kind of emotion necessary for sufficiently robust action, are the diseases that are going to rip through these camps. I think that...

Imagine a militia that forces parents to choose whether their children will be burned alive or shot to death. Imagine that in the very same month the world remembers the genocides of Cambodia and Rwanda, the unfolding news of another in Sudan is barely heard and largely ignored.

Sudan: a failure of will 07/31/2004 08:33 PM

The Passion of the Present

A failure of will

Forces from across the world are poised to help the people of Darfur, but no nation has the will to move forward.

We are in a tragic and signal moment, a catalytic moment, where the world sees the need, has the means, and yet continues to experience a failure of will.

...Now it is the public's turn. It is our turn. The time is now for our action. We must ask our leaders to act now, not in 30 days.

All key elements are in place, except the will to launch the rescue of Darfur in earnest.

A call to action that you should all read. This is "low hanging fruit" on the "lets do something good today" tree. Take some action today.

Chinese hero Dr. Jiang Yanyong speaks
out again, this time on Tiananmen Square

Chinese hero Dr. Jiang Yanyong speaks
out again, this time on Tiananmen Square 05/01/2004 03:24 AM
Last year, when I was reporting on the SARS outbreak in China on SARS Watch, I was very impressed by the Chinese Army doctor, Dr. Jiang Yanyong, who broke official China's silence on SARS by sending a letter to Time magazine detailing the real situation. He was one of the many heros of the first SARS epidemic. Today, I was attending a conference in Berkeley on China's Digital Future, I found that Dr. Jiang had recently done it again. According to this article in the International Herald Tribune, he wrote a letter to the prime minister, several deputy premiers, the Politburo and the chairman and deputy chairman of the National People's Congress, in which he recounted a visit he had with former Chinese President Yang: Jiang told Yang, who died later that year, of the bloody scenes in Army Hospital 301, where he was a director of surgery, when scores of dead and dying students were carried in: "Lying before me this time were our own people, killed by children of the Chinese people, with weapons given to them by the people, in Beijing, the magnificent capital of China." "Yang indicated that the June 4 incident was one in which the Communist Party committed the most serious mistakes in its history," writes Jiang. "He said he could not do anything to correct the mistake, but that the mistakes would be corrected in the future." .... for Jiang, Tiananmen is the worst of the Communist Party's crimes since the Cultural Revolution, and he has sided with Professor Ding in her search for justice. "Who among us does not have parents, children, and brothers and sisters?" he writes in his open letter to Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and other top officials. "... Anyone whose family members were unjustly killed should voice the same request [an accounting of those killed]. Each Chinese Communist Party member, Chinese citizen and human being must courageously support this just demand." It is encouraging to see an example of such bravery in action, especially when our own political landscape is full of examples of craven cowardice and avoidance of personal responsibility....
