Feb. 27,2009
 
Reporting from both Danville,Virginia and the Home Base in Prince Edward County Virginia.
 
The Editor of Confused Eagle Scott Morgan spent the last 36 Hours in Danville, Virginia.
 
This is one of the initial steps that the Editorial Staff Hopes to take to raise awareness of US Policy towards Africa.

First of all the subject matter was timely. It seems that at times we have to research regarding the topic daily. At times it feels that every 20 Minutes we have to change the scope of the information.
 
The Students of Barry Koplen at Danville Community College need to commended for the excellent questions that they posed to this correspondent.
 
The depth of the quality in the questions show that:
 
1.) There is Genuine Concern regarding the Situation in Darfur. Why the US is not taking a larger role in the crisis or not appears to be trying to resolve it is frustrating Students.
 
2.) The Knowledge of the Root Causes in this Crisis by the Students is to be commended as well.
 
3.) Their questions regarding the Lack of Action by other parties and concern for the Plight of the Women who have been victimized during this crisis were so well crafted that I will be passing them on to other Interested Parties

Darfur: An Unresolved Crisis that was the Focus of a Discussion on Feb. 27th in Danville,Virginia
 

The Situation in Darfur will not be off the Radar Screen for the Forseeable Future. Next Week the Sudanese President is expected to be Formally Indicted for War Crimes by the International Criminal Court. Attacks by Militias that are both Loyal to and in Opposition to the Sudanese Government continue despite a accord to formally start Peace Talks.
 
The Problems of the Ugandan Militia the LRA Oprerating within close Proximity to Sudan was discussed as well. In the past the Sudanese Government has provided Logistical Support for the Activities of the LRA.
 
I also covered the High Expectations that the African Digital Media and some Activists have that President Obama will make Africa a Major Foreign Policy Focus for His Administration.
 
All in All it was a Great Experience that had Me come away with Admiration for the Skills of Barry Kopen and Jayne Webb.

Well Done Danville.
