Kudos to students from Bonnyville Centralized and Grand Centre high schools in Alberta, Canada: They walked 20 kilometers for a local Walk for Darfur, and raised over $2500 for humanitarian relief.

Speaking of Canada: While Darfur was discussed at a presidential and vice presidential debates in the US, the issue is largely absent from the Canadian national elections, according to a former minister of justice.

Perhaps the politicians should follow the example of their young fellow citizens in Alberta.
