George Clooney pleads for peace in Darfur
조지 클루니 다푸르 평화 호소

▶ Contents
Clooney predicted mass slaughter if the September 30th
deadline is allowed to pass without firm Council intervention.
"So after September 30th, you won't need the U.N. You'll simply
need men with shovels and bleached white linen and headstones.

United Nations investigators have rejected the U.S. characterization
of the killings in Darfur as genocide, saying it does not meet the
strict legal definition of the term. But in an impassioned address,
Clooney rejected that distinction.

"The United States called it genocide.
For you, it's called ethnic cleansing.
But make no mistake. It is the first genocide of 21st century.
And if it continues unchecked, it will not be the last."
