My Way News - Clooney asks Obama for commitments on Sudan
My Way News reports: "President Barack Obama met with activist-actor George Clooney at the White House on Tuesday to discuss U.S. involvement in Sudan ahead of a critical election early next year in Africa's largest nation [...] The election is an independence referendum on south Sudan that is likely to split the country in two, and there are fears that the vote could lead to a new outbreak of north-south civil war."

Comment: I don't think much of celebrity activists, but I'm glad that someone is putting this situation on the public agenda. Many observers think that Sudan is on the verge of a bloodbath resulting from a civil war between the Arab majority north and the animist and Christian south.
