Looks like Hollywood stunner Angelina Jolie has decided…..to take some time out of her showbiz commitments and don….her ‘humanitarian’ hat of.
A goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) once more!
The charming actor has called on popular American news magazine ‘Newsweek’ to convey to President Obama.
In no uncertain terms that his government has done nothing of note till date….in the way of addressing the pressing, glaring humanitarian concerns of the millions of silent sufferers in Darfur. Revealing the shocking spoils of a raging genocide in the capital of Sudan, Jolie said that, “The government supported militia has left 300,000 dead and 2.7 million people internally displaced.”
Pleading with the American President to take immediate steps to curb the excesses of the corrupt Sudanese leaders, Jolie writes to Newsweek, “I believe President Obama and his special envoy Scott Gration will do their best to bring peace to the region. Their policy, though, raises a number of questions.
How is the Obama administration’s approach to Sudan an evolution of justice? In addition, when the administration says it intends to work to ‘improve the lives of the people of Darfur,’ I would like to know what that means, besides the obvious point that their lives could hardly get worse.” With Jolie breathing fire……Obama will have a lot to answer for in the coming days!
