A couple of weeks ago I posted on the man who stayed behind, a story from last October about Ryan Boyette, a guy from Florida who has been living in Sudan despite the constant fear of bombings from the Sudanese government. The story was by NY Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, and since then Kristof has visited Sudan and has written several articles on the situation. A couple of days ago he posted a must-read update, which includes a short video showing the atrocities. Kristof visited Boyette to get a first hand account of the threats, the damage, and the need. Children are hiding in caves to avoid being killed or brutally injured by bomb shrapnel. A horrible injustice is being carried out, and I hope and pray that the rest of the world will awake to this issue and build the societal will necessary to do something to stop the bombings and get food to these people before serious starvation occurs.
This is way more important than whoever wore & won whatever at the Oscars tonight.
