Sudan Freedom Walk: Atlas talks with Manute Bol

Manute Bol calls the UN a failure, says the AU forces are weak, afraid, ineffective. Wants NATO to stop the killing, the slavery, the unspeakable crimes against humanity. Click on the bottom link of this post for the Atlas mini-interview.

"Everyday we are losing life, losing life. If no action is taken, by next year you're gonna see a million lives lost."

UPDATE: Those interested in Sudan might be interested in this story here.

Former NBA player and Dinka tribesman Manute Bol and his best friend went to over 39 Congressmen personally and met with the Pentagon in the 90's telling them that their people were being decimated by the Arab Muslims from the North and would disappear if the US did not help. He said they got nothing.

...So Manute reached into his own pockets in the millions to help support the starving refugees who had witnessed their homes and families destroyed.

...The postscript is that Bol is broke and that some former NBA friends held a benefit to raise $$ for his huge Health bills after a drunk Cab Driver flipped a car Bol was in. hat tip Kahn

The West is the world, but we are not big enough to police everything. We have to deal with each problem, one at a time.

I really appreciate your work, Atlas, but next time, please have your subject stand with the building as backdrop and the sky to light his face.
Thanks again.

Atlas- That is incredible! Thank you so much for spreading the word on this!

Just to be clear, first the USA and others make the UN toothless, then you turn around and bitch about how ineffective it is?

I was aware Manute Bol was Sudanese it is good to see him lend his voice to his people. Bol is 7'7'' incase anyone is wondering.

Keep up the good work Pam.
