Mia Farrow, the once A-List actress, sheds light on what Madonna should be thinking now that Madonna has turned 50. Farrow has spun herself into a global humanitarian, whose heart is more for the oppressed of the world than celebrity trappings these days.
In fact, Mia Farrow is so intent on making a difference in the world, that she is about to go on a hunger strike, to raise awareness about the atrocities occurring in Dafur as innocent people die of starvation due to corrupt dictatorship rule.
Says Mia about Darfur: “The Darfur crisis deepened on March 4th when the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese president President Omar al-Bashir for his essential role in the murder, rape, torture and displacement of millions. Al-Bashir retaliated immediately by expelling thirteen key international aid agencies from Sudan, including Save the Children, Doctors Without Borders, CARE, Oxfam and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) along with three highly respected Sudanese agencies.”
Mia aims to continue her hunger strike, until she can no longer continue, and hopes that another will pick up her place, and then another and another. Paging Madonna, to partner with Mia, and starve a little for Darfur? It would be right down Madonna’s all after Malawi, I’m sure.
