Why Does Darfur Matter?

Eric Reeves
professor, Smith College, Northampton

Abdelbagy Abushanab
president, Darfur Rehabilitation Project, Newark

Lecture and discussion open to the public

Tuesday, November 29, 2005 7 PM. Multi-Purpose Room, first floor

University of Connecticut at Stamford
Washington Blvd and Broad Street
Stamford, CT 06901-2315

In September 2004, U.S. Secretary of State, Colin Powell, informed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that “genocide has been committed” in the Darfur region of Southern Sudan. He documented a “consistent and widespread” pattern of killings, rapes and other atrocities. How did this conflict start? Why are the atrocities continuing? How are the people of Darfur responding? What can be done to end the atrocities?

Eric Reeves, professor of English, has spent the last six years researching Sudan. His website, with his articles and congressional testimony on Sudan, is widely cited by journalists, foreign affairs scholars and human rights activists. http://www.sudanreeves.org

Abdelbagy Abushanab, is president of the Darfur Rehabilitation Project, Newark, NJ
http://www.darfurrehab.org. Darfur Rehabilitation Project, Inc. (DRP) is a United States based NGO, composed of individuals from the Darfur region, which advocates and educates on the situation in Darfur. Mr. Abushanab regularly appears at universities and public programs to speak on Darfur. In September 2005, the DRP hosted a discussion among fact-finders who returned from Chad and Darfurian leaders from across the United States at Seton Hall University.

Hello

Our maintenance crew will be moving some library furniture around this week and in doing so, six Student SuperHomer Computer stations will not be in use for a few days.

We will still have 2 Library Catalogs and our Public Users computer station available for use for checking email and printing out documents.

The Academic Computer Lab (Room 3.05) is also open during this holiday break from 9-5 on Monday and Tuesday, November 21-22.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Sincerely,
Phara
