Intermode Media and FFHR talk with General Romeo Dallaire

Intermode Media and Films for Human Rights sat down with Senator Romeo Dallaire to discuss to the horrifying conflict that plagues the African country of Sudan. The interview was part of a documentary on the conflict in Sudan. General Romeo Dallaire entered the senate on March 24th, 2005 where he continues to write and speak out against Human Rights abuses, genocide, and ethnic cleansing. "My interest has been part of the Sudanese action force previously, and now continuing to fight for human rights, for the empowerment of women, and for the ability of nations to live within the respect of international law" Dallaire was quoted as saying in the interview.

General Dallaire consistently struggles to prevent the atrocity in Sudan to become another Rwanda. "They have not literally tried to eliminate from the face of the earth a whole ethnicity. That has not happened yet and the question is will we let that happen?"

On September 17 people around the world will take part in the Global Day for Darfur to show world-wide support for the Darfuri people and to put pressure on our Governments to protect the civilians.

The TORONTO event is being organized by Senator Dallaire’s office in collaboration with a number of Canadian NGOs working on Darfur (including STAND Canada, Canadian Students for Darfur, Project Ploughshares, KAIROS, CASTS, War Child Canada and the Canadian Jewish Congress).
