Catastrophe in Darfur: No End In Sight?
Thursday, September 30
Reception at 6pm Discussion at 7pm
Tishman Auditorium
New School University, 66 West 12th Street, New York
Join Ann Curry of NBC’s Today Show; journalist Scott Anderson, a regular contributor to the New York Times Magazine; Nicolas de Torrenté, executive director of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF); Salih Booker, executive director of Africa Action; and MSF volunteer Jonathan Spector, MD, to discuss the humanitarian emergency in Darfur.
An estimated one and a half million people have fled attacks by government-backed militia in Darfur, western Sudan, since May 2003. They continue to be terrorized in the overcrowded, unsanitary camps where they have sought refuge, and are dying from violence, disease, and malnutrition. Up to half a million people have received no assistance at all.
Why was the world so late to notice what was happening in Darfur? Are conditions improving? What does the future hold for the people of Darfur?
The event is free, wheelchair accessible, and open to the public. To reserve a seat, please call (212) 847-3151. For more information visit http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/ or call (212) 679-6800.
Hosted by Eugene Lang College and the Graduate Program in International
Affairs, New School University.
