Representative in Sudan Ted Chaiban recently returned from that country's Darfur region, where he saw firsthand the realities in the camps for displaced children and families who cannot return to their homes because of the violent conflict that continues there.

Chaiban reported that he saw camps filled to capacity with between 50,000 and 100,000 people. The challenge now is to find other locations for additional displaced people who will need shelter, food and water, and basic medical treatment, he said.

"The solution is for the peace process to get back on track," noted Chaiban. "The UN and the African Union have joined forces, and together they're re-engaging with the parties to find a political solution. It's absolutely critical that this happens now because we simply cannot absorb any more displaced."

I've recently watched the movie Blood Diamond with Leonardo DeCaprio, this is what is really going on!! It really shed a lot of light on what is actually happening there! I can't imagine!!! I will not buy diamonds!!

Okay so its great and all that we have all joined the Texans for Darfur Group. But if you search for an event, you will realize that there is not one near us.
