Darfur: Growing Violence
LONDON (AFP) - Protests took place around the world on Sunday to demand that world leaders act to prevent further bloodshed in Darfur on the fourth anniversary of the conflict's start.

Renowned "I Love NY" designer Milton Glaser has designed a poster (above picture) to raise awareness of the crisis. Proceeds will benefit the IRC.
