On Monday, a famous Sudanese singer dedicated a new song to peace in Darfur at a UN Day event. The celebration took place in the northern Darfur capital El-Fashir, and had a strong political message to the government of Sudan and their actions in the Darfur. Lyrics referenced the displacement of people, the death of children, and that the women of Darfur shouldn't suffer from the actions of violence. At the celebration was peace envoys from 18 countries throughout Europe, Africa, and the Americas, and all present strongly enforced the message that it was time to stop the internal violence in the Sudan.
Being the third-largest installation of UN personal in the world, following New York and Geneva, there was also a memorial for those killed in the recent attack on UN troops by rebels.
The song isn't up on youtube yet either, I checked. But I'm sure it's catchy.
