nytimes.com

Chad, by way of Hollywood: Clooney checks in.

The New York Times’ Nicholas Kristof recently took at trip to Chad with an unlikely sidekick: George Clooney. Kristof was skeptical at first, but Clooney—always the charmer!—won him over, and thus Kristof came to see the potential benefits of celebrity advocacy.

Here’s the buddy movie that resulted from their trip.

All the “troubles” started in Darfur when oil was
discovered!!
Does this sound familiar? Does it ring a bell??!!
If everyone, including clooney and Kristof, left Darfur alone, then peace will be back immediately.
Humanitarian intervention most of the time turns
out to be for profit intervetntion, and the people
on the ground suffer much more!!
