What is happening in Sudan?

I was watching an interview with Patricia Parker who instigated KidsforKids, in Sudan, in this interview she said that in the time it had taken to watch the interview a child would have died of malnutrition. In many parts of Sudan there was no running water and kids would have to walk miles to get water. The other difficulty is the fact that the disease malaria, which is easily treated in the west takes it's toll over there,
Again, FGM this abhorrent practice, which my be banned world wide, should be explained to the people who promote it what it does to those girls. It is no use that those in the west make a stand without explaining why they have done this, So the major issue is dialogue between the two. We need to lobby the Governments of Sudan & UK & US to listen to the people.
