New York: Actor George Clooney gave a speech to the United Nations Security Council urging the body to do something about the violence in Sudan.
According to Hollywood.com, Clooney had spent time in Darfur in April and he warned that if UN troops don't enter Sudan by Oct 1, "aid workers will have to leave and if they leave, that leaves a couple of million people with absolutely nothing."
He added: "I'm here to represent the voices of the people who cannot speak for themselves. We know how difficult a task this is... but you are the UN and this is the task that you have been given. It is the first genocide of the 21st century and if it continues unchecked, it will not be the last. How you deal with it is your legacy. It's your Rwanda, your Cambodia, your Auschwitz. We are one 'yes' away from ending it."
