Journalists for Human Rights

On August 15, a symbolic Olympic torch was lit at the Ecole Technique Officielle in Kicukiro, Kigali as Darfur advocates united to call for an end to all genocides.

Rwanda is the second stop for the ‘Olympic Dream for Darfur’ campaign, in a six-country tour, that began in Darfur on August 9, exactly one year before the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing. Due to China’s economic interests in Sudan, the organization argues that leaders in Beijing are in a unique position to persuade the Sudanese government to end the atrocities in Darfur and they hope their campaign will pursuade the Chinese to get involved.

American actress and UN Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, Mia Farrow, was among the Darfur advocates in Kigali for the event and shared her thoughts about what genocide survivors can share with the international community in an interview with Contact FM.
