On June 30, 2005, Nathan Kleinman began a hunger strike to raise awareness of the ongoing genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan. Since February 2003, at least 400,000 people have died due to violence, starvation and disease. More than 2.5 million people have been displaced from their towns and villages and now live in camps lacking adequate food, water, shelter, sanitation, and health care. It is LONG PAST time for the international community to take action.

Day 3

I began my hunger strike for Darfur on Thursday, June 30, 2005. I am sitting in Lafayette Park across from the White House during daylight hours. I have a sign that says "Ask me why I am on a hunger strike."

Future posts will include my views and links to information about Darfur.
