Mia Farrow's Hunger Strike For Darfur

Filed under: Politik

wenn1098885mia.jpg

Mia Farrow is taking a very serious stand for her beliefs!

The actress and avid activist against genocide began a hunger strike on Monday due to the Sudanese government's decision to ban all international organizations from aiding the people of Darfur.

Farrow explains her fast "as a personal expression of outrage at a world that is somehow able to stand by and watch innocent men, women and children needlessly die of starvation, thirst and disease."

Mia is hoping for world leaders to "help build a credible peace process" so the violence in Darfur can end once and for all.

Good for her!

Let's hope the actress' protest is able to achieve the bring attention to the change she's vying for!

      That's all very well but what is her stand on gay marraige?!!!!!



    2. 2

      What is the US doing about Darfur? (That's not sarcasm, I really would like to know)



    3. 3

      sounds like a good thing to be fighting for.



    4. 4

      It's great that she is taking a stand….but if the Darfur government doesn't care about it's own people, why would they care about her?
      .
      Also, have you considered a fast like this for gay marriage? I'm just sayin'….



    5. 5

      Woody Allen has gone on record as saying he will bang more of Mia's adopted kids to end the genocide in Darfur.



    6. 6

      Is that Mia Farrow from Rosemary's baby?



    7. 7

      that's a great thing she's doing, the problem is the Sudanese government doesn't care, so she'll starve. unfortunately, I still have to post this

      IS ANYONE ELSE SICK AND TIRED OF:
      *
      PEREZ BEING SO FREAKING GAY….who cares! Your gay! OK! WE GET IT YOUR GAY!
      *
      The ONLY THING YOU ARE DOING IS MAKING YOUR VIEWER HATE GAYS.
      Because you force it down your viewers throat as if they are innocent victims to your child porn.

      Melissa Ethridge and Ellen dont go flaming around town waving rainbow flags everyday!
      *
      Obama and Oprah don't smear their black skin in your face everyday!
      *
      Michael Phelps and Madonna don't preach about how white they are!
      *
      The world has spoken via twitter:
      ASHTON KUCHNER has 1 POINT 3 MILLION followers on Twitter!!!! 1,300,000
      Perez has a mere 600,000 followers on twitter
      *
      Perez Hilton's hate is causing more hate. You are doing nothing to better this world.
      *
      Have you noticed how Perez is desperately resorting to blinking advertisements…now every time you go to a page it says: CONGRATULATIONS YOU WON!!!
      *
      And when you want to listen to a video, first you have to listen to a NEVER ENDING commercial that talks about how great LYSOL is.
      *
      Perez' is approaching his 13 minute mark of flame fame….
      *
      REPOST THIS AND PUT AN END TO HIS HATRED!

      Re: mansizedass – The U.S. is saying, "The whole Darfur genocide is a tragedy. We should help them. Could you please pass the ketchup? Thanks."



    9. 9

      Thank you Perez for bringing attention to the Genocide. It's truly not getting enough from our media.



    10. 10

      Re: Aileen (Canada) – please dont, we all had enough of this shit already



    11. 11

      Perez, you might want to try to Fast too.



    12. 12

      she should have some asian…



    13. 13

      Perez, thanks for posting this! Please keep updated about her hunger strike and the fact that over 800,000 innocent people have died due to a genocidal regime. It's important and I'm glad Mia Farrow is raising awareness about this important subject!



    14. 14

      Do you think she still talks to her daughter that Woody Allen (the dad) fucks and then eventually married?
      Hi Honey how is your Dad?



    15. 15

      Love her. Taking a stand! I would love it if she visited me in Florida and frolicked with me.



    16. 16

      Who cares….the US government condoned the genocide of Native Americans and we still haven't given them their land back or even made reperations. The Sudanese should just do what America did and put them on reservations….really small pieces of land compared to what was once theirs.



    17. 17

      Good for her. Our country needs to take a serious stand.



    18. 18

      Re: mansizedass – I thought the same thing!



    19. 19

      I DONT SEE WHY AMERICA CAN GO START WARS EVERYWHERE ELSE AND NOT STOP SOMETHING LIKE THIS…NOT THAT I WANT A WAR STARTED, AND I DONT…WAR IS HORRIBLE…BUT SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE TO HELP THESE PEOPLE. THIS IS LIKE ANOTHER HOLOCAUST.
      BUT THE GOVERNMENT AND THE WHOLE WORLD FOR THAT MATTER HAS KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME WHATS BEEN GOING ON AND THEY HAVENT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT, AND I DOUBT THAT HER STARVING HERSELF IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING TO GET MORE OF THEIR ATTENTION ON IT EITHER.
      THOUGH I APPAULED HER FOR TRYING, SHE IS A VERY CARING, DEDICATED INDIVIDUAL.



    20. 20

      Re: /B/LACKUP218 – Hey dumbfuck…that is because your firewall sucks dick. You are getting pop up's. Perez doesn't pay for those.



    21. 21

      This is the original Angelina Jolie!

    22. Gigi7 says – reply to this

      Perez, If you go back to the Huffington Post and re-read her blog, I'm pretty sure she said she was going to begin her fast on the 27th, so she hasn't started it yet. Commenters were trying to persuade her not to start fasting.
      Personally I don't think it will make a difference. The leaders of Sudan don't care how skinny she is and I doubt if even Obama cares . There's enough Anorexics to worry about without non-anorexics starving themselves, no matter how good the cause.



    23. 23

      Re: Blind Baby – damn i get the same shit, but they arnt popups and im not a dumbfuck



    24. 24

      We need to demand more be done to stop genocide!! even though we are individually different, we belong to the same HUMAN RACE!!! CEASE THE HATRED, INCREASE THE LOVE!



    25. 25

      nice mullet



    26. 26

      Great cause and good intentions.. but honestly she might die from doing this i don't think her body could handle it.. kind of stupid on her part



    27. 27


    28. 28

      Fast to your heart's content, Mia, but if it's a "personal expression", why are you telling the media about it? Fast in secret.



    29. 29

      I'm ALL for helping Darfur but what on earth will starving yourself do for them?????



    30. 30

      Do people not understand that the US cannot save every single country and problem? There are MANY other countries that could help out… we have problems in the US that get ignored because everyone wants the US to hold every other countries hand. I feel horrible for what the people in Darfur are going through and celebrities do a great job at bringing attention to it. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Mia Farrow, how many millions of dollars do these people have??? The US is not responsible for every problem in the world I'm sorry but we need to come back and look at the US and all the starving and abused children here. We need to work on protecting our own children and putting money towards education, keeping sex offenders in jail, and many more things. We always spread ourselves way to thin.



    31. 31

      I just love STUUUUUUUUPID Hollywood celebutards! As if anyone in the Sudan CARES for or about Mia! Let he starve herself to death and NOTHING will be accomplished! Oh wait! IF only more Hollywood celebutards would do the same we might actually be rid of these morons! Oh Happy Day!



    32. 32

      I am planning on joining Mia Farrow on her strike despite the fact that I will not get any attention like she is getting. Everyone should join in so our government will actually do something to help the poor people in Darfur.



    33. 33

      Love her!



    34. 34

      What A Load Of Crap! She'll EAT As Soon As She Get's 2 Hungry! Do They Think "we" R So Stupid?



    35. 35

      perez thanx for bringing this issue to light!! 2.5 MILLION people depend on these agancies for food, shelter, and security, without these agencies these people will starve. Just another way the Sudanese government is trying to kill these people. so sad

      This hunger strike on Ms. Farrow's part is completely meaningless. The problem is Darfur is caused by Arab muslims killing black muslims for the farmland. The real issue in Sudan is about to happen soon when there is a vote to determine if the Abyei region will be part of the muslim north or tribal religions/christian south. This is important because this is where the oil is. It is also important to remember that in Sudan you must have a license to take photo.

      What Ms Farrow should be doing is demanding that the President of the USA insist that the butcher who is president in Sudan is taken to the Hague to face his charges of crimes against humanity. President Obama needs to take a stand because as Churchill put it all those decades ago that evil only happens when good men stand by and do nothing.

      Mia - do something that will actually help!
