Mia Farrow on the Conflict in Darfur

Mia Farrow spoke with ABC News from the Dafur region of Sudan. She traveled there to put a spotlight on the genocide and human suffering.

— - Q. Where in in the Darfur region of Sudan were you?

A. We went to south and north Darfur and visited refugee camps in both places. Unlike my last visit in 2004 I could not go to west Darfur which is now considered too volatile to visit. Even now the itinerary keeps changing because of the security situation. We went to Gereida and Finna camps which were outside of the town of Nyala. This is the biggest refugee camp with 126,000 people. Also visited a camp called Zam Zam in Nyala which has 30,000 people. Read the full interview >>>
