Dr. Rodney Coates:
When was the last time that you cried for the abused?
Was it then, that you saw that their plight was your concern?

of Darfurians, yet he partook in the Abuja Talks on peace for Darfur.

I have been to the cross roads here in the western hemisphere. So I am familiar with the dilemna the people of the Sudan are now facing. As an individual I can only talk from the heart. We face the same dilemna here in the West as you the people of the Sudan are facing now. Unity or Separation. For it not to be a dilemna anymore we should understand both unity and separation. Here in the West it has always been separateness, that is what the whole civilization is built on be in in corporations,
