Get news from Africa.

Here is this week's update on the crisis in Sudan from the Coalition for Darfur. Learn more about the goings-on in Sudan and the other countries in Africa by visiting allafrica.com. They get their news from over 125 media outlets reporting from all over the Continent.

Most often we have to learn before we can act effectively. It's especially important to get news from sources other than the American corporate media. Here's a great way to get started.
