ENERGISED FARROW FEELING 'FINE' AS FAST REACHES DAY 10
Fasting MIA FARROW's hunger strike has taken a surprising turn - the actress' 10 days without food has given her energy she never thought she'd have.
Farrow is in the middle of a 21-day fast as part of an effort to raise awareness about the plight of starving refugees in the Sudan, and she admits she's surprised about how good she feels.
In the latest of her daily blogs, she writes, "Strangely I am feeling fine. I realize we don’t need to eat every day. And we certainly don’t need 3 meals a day."
And she admits boredom is a bigger problem for her than hunger: "I feel so well that I’m bored. I can't really go out. I was told not to do (go up) the stairs (but I do anyway)."
Farrow taped a new interview for CNN's Larry King Live on Tuesday (05May09) with refugee Mohammed Yahya, which left her upset and angry about the latest problems in the Sudan.
She writes, "He conveyed the realities on the ground far more powerfully than I could. He had just spoken to his mother in Darfur. She told him that the Government of Sudan continues to bomb villages, and the bombings are followed by janjaweed (militia) attacks.
"The expulsion of the aid agencies is unspeakably horrible but even if they were readmitted (which they wont be) - a return to the status quo is unacceptable.
"Shame on Egypt, Libya, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Qatar for receiving (Sudanese leader) Omar Al-Bashir, a genocidal thug wanted by the ICC (International Criminal Court) for the murder rapes, pillaging and forced displacement of millions of his own people. Shame on the world for permitting this to unfold before our eyes."
In March (09), three ICC judges chose to uphold the indictment of the Omar al-Bashir, for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Sudanese government forces in the country's Darfur region.
