Yesterday my village was burned....

Alex Squitieri sent the following e-mail with helpful links about the situation in Darfur. I have also posted the Missourri State and MTV links under the Situation in Darfur links that are on the side of this webpage. I encourage everyone to take a look, even if Darfur is not your topic!

This is a photo essay on Darfur, which I thought was very helpful in depicting the situation in Darfur without words: http://www.amnestyusa.org/countries/sudan/photo_exhibit.pdf

I found it here, which has a lot of links to resources on Darfur. I don't know that they are any better/different than the ones we already have, but it may be worth a look: http://student.missouristate.edu/u/unruh057/webquestdarfur/un.htm

(I would especially recommend the following link from PBS, because it gives you diagrams to help understand Who´s Who in Darfur: http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/sudan/relationshipsa.html -- Monica, Isaace Albeniz)

Also, MTV has a bunch of stuff on genocide and the Sudan. You all might think it´s cool because its from MTV! My kids students are already spending lots of times with all of the other websites I've given them, though, so I don't know that they need more:
