Because of the news of the French adoption issue in Chad, CNN.com has focused on that. On the African home page on CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/africa/archive/), five of the first ten articles are all related to the kidnapping. This, because it is related and focused upon the French, shows that the western media is more concerned with the news that affects its people. Sadly, the other five have no relation to the people in Darfur/Sudan. The articles that follow are about the abduction by Somali or coffee-scented condoms. None of these articles could possibly help the people of Sudan. The Sudanese people are in need of aid and support, not pity because of AIDS But one thing shed hope. On the right sidebar, in between two advertisements, are links to related topics. Inside of that box are two web sites that are extremely good. The first website, www.DivestForDarfur.org, is beneficial because it alerts the companies that support the Genocide to stop. The site allows people to send letters in support, which is good because it is actually doing something to help, not just spreading the news. The second website, www.makewaypartners.org, is also very inspiring and good because it helps people connect directly with the refugees. It also helps people gauge what their donations do and how effective they are. It also helps prevent children from becoming slaves or sold to others.
