What’s going on with Darfur today is a real shame. It is also sad that a lot of the news media companies do not bring more awareness to this serious issue.
In any case, Google in cooporation with US Holocaust Muesum have worked together to highlight all the atrocities that have been going on through the use of one of Google’s popular tools, Google Earth. Through Google Earth, users have the ability to view the region of Sedan where the genocide in Darfur is taken place.
I am glad that Google is helping to bring more awareness to this cause, and I hope that this is one of many initiviates that is taken place by Google as well as hopefully by other companies, governement agencies, and so on.
