Tens of thousands of protesters rallied around the world on Sunday in a global day against the genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan. In New York, organizers estimated over 30,000 people gathered in Central Park. Demonstrations and vigils were also held on Sunday in Berlin, Dubai, Dublin, London, Melbourne, Paris, Seoul and Stockholm and dozens of other cities. The global day of protests was organised to coincide with the start of the United Nations General Assembly debate this week on Sudan.
