| George Clooney and Sudanese children |
Actor and
human rights activist George Clooney made a quiet visit to a volatile border
region between Sudan and South Sudan last week ahead of testimony he's giving
before a U.S. Senate committee on Wednesday. Clooney who made the dangerous
crossing from South Sudan into Sudan's Nuba Mountains region as part of his assignment
for the anti-genocide group, the Enough Project, saw burned-out villages and
met with residents forced to seek shelter in caves because of aerial attacks by
Sudan's military. After an earlier visit, Clooney helped found the Satellite
Sentinel Project, which uses satellite imagery to track military movements and
attacks in the hopes of bringing attention to and potentially heading off
hostilities. On his most recent visit Clooney, met South Sudan President Salva
Kiir and the country's defense minister.
