Wow, this is a pretty damning post on the Save Darfur Coalition by Conor Foley, an international human rights worker and author of The Thin Blue Line: How Humanitarianism Went to War:

for the last five years the Save Darfur coalition has been pumping out a message about an ongoing genocide which is essentially untrue. By massively inflating the real death toll and offering what seems to be the most ‘common sense’ solution – send in western troops – it has put all the other humanitarian agencies and human rights groups at a massive disadvantage when it came to fundraising and ensured that it is its own message that has dominated the debate. It is accountable to no one, it helps no one and it has created a self-perpetuating circle, which in any other industry could get its organisers prosecuted for fraud.

The whole thing is worth a read, as are the comments.
