Actress Mia Farrow brought her campaign to end genocide in Darfur to
New York yesterday.
Flanked by staffers from Dream for Darfur and the American Jewish
World Service, the star vowed to keep fighting to bring peace to the
war-ravaged African nation.
"I shirked interviews all my life," Farrow said. "But I’m here, and I
will be here until the people of Darfur are safe."
Farrow spoke about her latest mission to Darfur, where she lit an
Olympic-style torch to highlight China’s support for the Sudanese
government, which is failing to end the atrocities. China will be the
site of the Olympics in 2008.
The light will be taken to other nations that have experienced
genocide, including Armenia, Bosnia, Germany and Cambodia.
Farrow said her organization will ask corporate sponsors of the
Beijing Olympics to rethink their support of the Games. It also will
urge Steven Spielberg, the artistic director of the opening ceremony,
to reconsider his role.
