Frontline special on June 10th: "On Our Watch"

After any unprecedented tragedy of human suffering, the world always says "Never Again." Yet, as this provocative PBS Frontline special ("On Our Watch") points out, the world has been a passive bystander in one genocide after another in Africa over the past 10 years, culminating with the tragic events in Darfur:

"The world vowed "never again" after the genocide in Rwanda and the atrocities in Srebrenica, Bosnia. Then came Darfur. Over the past four years, at least 200,000 people have been killed, 2.5 million driven from their homes, and mass rapes have been used as a weapon in a brutal campaign - supported by the Sudanese government - against civilians in Darfur. In On Our Watch, FRONTLINE asks why the United Nations and its members once again failed to stop the slaughter."

You can watch the PBS Frontline special tonight (June 10) or as an eight-part series online. Also, be sure to look for continued coverage of Darfur, Uganda and Zimbabwe and other issues on the AWEARNESS blog.
