Angelina Jolie written a column for The Economist
Angelina Jolie has many talents and she has written a column for The Economist’s annual The World issue calling for accountability in Darfur. In that article, it pertains similar articles from “several presidents, an exiled god-king[gotta find out more about this one], the head of the United Nations and other political heavyweights.”
Here are some quotes from the article:
– “Accountability is perhaps the only force powerful enough to break the cycle of violence and retribution that marks so many conflicts.”
– “I hope that the Sudanese government will hand over the government minister and the Janjaweed militia leader who have been indicted for war crimes (by the International Criminal Court in The Hague), and that the teenager I met in Chad will get the trial he seeks.”
– “I hope that those responsible for the atrocities in Darfur will be held to account, not only for that young man’s sake, but for the world’s.”
