Hundreds march in London to urge governments to act on Darfur

HUNDREDS of demonstrators marched through London yesterday to call for immediate action to end the conflict in Darfur.

The rally was part of a Global Day for Darfur, which saw events taking place in more than 30 countries around the world, as campaigners called for their governments to step up to their responsibilities in the war-torn region.

In London, protesters marched from the Sudanese embassy near St James’s Park to Downing Street, waving placards bearing the slogans: “Darfur: Don’t Look Away” and “Protest Darfur”.
