 LONDON (AP) - Protesters held demonstrations in several countries on Sunday to urge world leaders and the U.N. General Assembly to work harder to end the crisis in Darfur.
Hundreds of activists rallied in London, many donning black blindfolds to symbolize the international community's failure to act since vowing to stop atrocities in Darfur two years ago.
Demonstrators in Rome wore white T-shirts with a bloodstained hand on the front and marched to the central Piazza Farnese. The protesters carried a peace torch, which they said was lit in Chad, where hundreds of thousands from Darfur now live in refugee camps.
