Actor and activist George Clooney said today he hope that technology can bring public concentration to the border region of Sudan and thwart potential violence and even genocide after a critical referendum there next week.
In an exclusive interview this morning on "This Week with Christiane Amanpour," Clooney discussed the goals of the newly launched settlement Sentinel Project, a joint effort backed by the United Nations, Google and human human rights groups to have satellites monitor the border between Sudan's northern and southern region. Southern Sudan will vote Jan. 9 on whether to fracture away from the northern part of the country, which has been wracked with hostility in the past decade.
