News : It's been uncovered that one of the ships being held off by Somalian pirates last weekend contained weapons headed from Kenya to South Sudan. This isn't directly related to Darfur, but it means that its very likely there's an increasing arms race between Khartoum and South Sudan, which could mean a new outbreak of the Civil War in Sudan, which would not be good (obviously).
Updates:
Library Lawn Event - While we're still nameless, the event is chugging along smoothly; we've got half the body bags constructed for our display, and the other half will get done this weekend. We're also working on setting up the day of silence/remembrance; we've decided to hand out pins explaining why people are being silent or if they aren't being silent, explaining why they are in mourning.
Open Mic Night - We don't have a room confirmation yet, but we decided on November 20th for the Open Mic Night, so if you're a performing artist of any kind - dance, music, spoken word poetry, improv, drama, etc - in the Amherst area, and you're available that night, get in touch with us please! Comment here, or e-mail us at umassdarfurgroup@gmail.com.
And finally, for your weekly action - this weekend we'll have a table up at the Humans Versus Zombies Charity Day, so if you're playing the game stop by the Commonwealth Room between 9 and 5 on Sunday and sign our petitions and buy some cookies and brownies. Enjoy!
