Holbrooke Addresses Crisis in Sudan


Richard C. Holbrooke discussed ways to "end ethnic conflict, expand humanitarian access, and increase the role of the African Union," Tuesday afternoon at the Brookings Institution. He was part of a panel of speakers which also included Sen. Jon S. Corzine (D-NJ), and Brookings' Project on Internal Displacement Co-Directors Roberta Cohen and Francis M. Deng. I really wish my favorite activist Danny Glover could have made it. The down-to-earth Hollywood star was arrested less than two weeks ago for protesting in front of the Sudanese Embassy.
