FARROW: 'DARFUR IS MY MOST IMPORTANT ROLE'

American actress MIA FARROW has hailed her harrowing campaign to end violence in Sudan's Darfur region as the "most important endeavour" of her life.
The Rosemary's Baby star has publicly condemned China for its alleged support of genocide in Darfur and used every opportunity to pressure Beijing into using its leverage on the Sudanese government.
The actress - who is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador - claims the enormous task has taken over her life, but she has no regrets about the undertaking.
She says, "It has eclipsed everything in my life except for my children. I wasn't there when two of my grandchildren were born.
"That was an immense personal sacrifice for me and immense sacrifice for my sons.
"There is so much head-banging, it is hard to call it rewarding. But it is certainly my most important endeavour.
"Whether it succeeds or not, I know the effort is the most important thing I have ever undertaken."
