George Clooney Speaks of Darfur Horrors

Actor George Clooney has spoken of the horrors he witnessed when he visited the Sudanese region of Darfur, saying the area urgently needs peacekeepers. The Hollywood star told the BBC that the levels of murder and rape convinced him ethnic cleansing was occurring. At least 200,000 people have died in the region and some 2.5 million are homeless after three years of fighting.This has led to the withdrawal of 250 relief workers, leaving many of the people vulnerable. It is a very serious and sad situation.
