Angelina Jolie wants more action to stop the crisis in Darfur



Angelina Jolie wants more action to stop the crisis in Darfur. Hence, she has written a new article for Time magazine.

Jolie writes "The evidence the prosecutor has presented is clear and compelling.
Darfur has almost disappeared from the news, and experts now call it a 'low intensity" conflict.' But the intensity of the crisis has not lessened for those who are struggling to survive."

"More than 250,000 people from Darfur have lived destitute lives in refugee camps in Chad for six years now," says the mother of six. "Camps with more than two million internally displaced persons inside Darfur are even worse. Thirty percent of those displaced are school-age children. Girls leaving the camps are raped; boys leaving the camps are killed. They want an education; they want to go back to their villages, to their land; they want peace. But they also want justice."
