Dealing with Darfur - what's at stake?

Dealing with Darfur - what's at stake?


As security deteriorates, violence grows, resources dwindle and concerns mount over the effectiveness of peacekeepers and aid workers in Darfur, questions abound as to what the future holds for Western Sudan.

Reuters and Reuters AlertNet invite you to hear a panel of experts debate the situation in Darfur. Topics under the spotlight include what the responsibilities of the international community are, how the gap can be narrowed between Khartoum and the majority of U.N. members, and why Darfur has sparked more international attention than other forgotten African conflicts.

The panel will include:

  • Paul Holmes, Reuters (moderator)
  • Hedi Annabi, Assistant-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations U.N
  • Abdalmahmood Abdalhaleem Mohamad, Sudanese Ambassador to the U.N
  • John Prendergast, International Crisis Group
  • Mia Farrow, Actor and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador
  • Lauren Landis, Senior Representative, Sudan, U.S. Department of State

When: Thursday, 24 May 2007
9:30am, Panel debate and broadcast to begin promptly at 10am
Where: The New-York Historical Society
Auditorium
170 Central Park West
(between 76th and 77th Street)
