Sudanese protest in Khartoum

"Student protesters in Khartoum clashed with police on Sunday and called for the ouster of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, in a movement organizers said was inspired by the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt."

Thanks, Mojo. This is good news. The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Bashir on charges of war crimes including genocide against the people of Darfur in western Sudan. It would be great if protestors could overthrow Bashir and bring about a better Sudan for all the Sudanese people, both Arab and African.

I finally found out how to divest from Darfur! I've been trying to do this for years but couldn't find the info. I tried out a corporate social responsibility website the other day. It was focused on socially responsible investing and gave me the ability to check whether my mutual funds held any companies that were engaged in Darfur. It was free. They just advertised to me. I love these guys!
