No charge.Dr. Mukesh Kapila was the top UN official in Sudan in 2003 and 2004. He will describe seeing the Darfur genocide unfold up close, what happened behind the news coverage and his efforts to make a difference. You&#8217;ll have a unique opportunity to hear not only about those who designed and orchestrated &#8216;the final solution&#8217; in Darfur but about the global indifference and inaction that thwarted his attempts to stop the mass murder. It&#8217;s a personal story about one man&#8217;s fight to bring justice to those culpable and what made him act when no one else would. Mukesh recently visited Sudan and will bring us up to date on the continuing crises there.Doors open at 4:30pm. Parking garage at 375 Longwood Avenue for $7. Sponsored by Massachusetts Coalition to Save Darfur, JCRC of Greater Boston, My Sister&#8217;s Keeper, Armenian Assembly of America, Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, Temple Emunah, Temple Isaiah, Temple Israel, The Center for Global Judaism at Hebrew College, Sweder-Ross LLP and STAND.
