 PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - Mansour Ahmed enjoys the trappings of the good life in the United States: an apartment, a computer, a car. More importantly, he is safe and free. He can't say the same for the family he left behind in Sudan.
With his parents and five siblings in mind, Ahmed boarded a bus Saturday with 15 other refugees from Sudan's Darfur region to journey 12 hours to Washington to participate in a Darfur rally on the National Mall.
Sunday's rally coincides with a U.N. deadline for Darfur's warring parties to reach a peace deal to end the three-year conflict.
