Today in Chad
November 30, 2006

News anchor for NBC's Today Show, Ann Curry, recently returned from her second trip to the Chad-Sudan border. She speaks with Jerry Fowler about her trip to the region, the deteriorating situation and the brave women she met there. Ann also highlights the importance of public response, noting that the more emails and feedback a story receives and the more the public cares about a story such as Darfur, the more likely the outlet is to continue covering the region.

Who Will Lead the Way?
November 23, 2006

Smith College English Professor and widely read Sudan analyst, Eric Reeves, returns to the program to discuss the deterioration of the genocide in Darfur and its spillover into Chad. With new reports of cross-border attacks, more humanitarian aid groups pulling out, and the situation rapidly worsening, Eric reports that the new agreement on a hybrid force is even more disheartening.

Mixed Blessing
November 5, 2006


If you didn't catch it, here's the first part of the recent 60 Minutes story on Darfur. I'm glad they did it, of course, but I also have to note that 60 Minutes and CBS and all of the major television networks have been grossly negligent in their coverage of Darfur. 60 Minutes, for example, did a story on Darfur in Fall 2004. Then nothing from them until now -- two years later. I'm sure there's an explanation, but there's no excuse.

 

Darfur Update from President Bush’s Special Envoy to Sudan
November 2, 2006

Andrew Natsios, President Bush's newly appointed Special Envoy to Sudan, presents a hopeful outlook on the situation in Darfur, and throughout Sudan. Special Envoy Natsios claims that in his talks with the government in Khartoum, officials stated that Sudan may be willing to accept troops from North Africa and other Muslim countries, to allow logistic and planning supplementation from the United Nations, and to make amendmendments to the Darfur Peace Agreement to broaden its appeal to all parties. He shared his opinions and findings from his most recent trip to Darfur with President Bush this past week.
