Richard Branson made this statement

“I’m honoured to be taking over the fast for the next three days from Mia Farrow in her courageous stance to support the people of Darfur.  Over a year and a half ago, I travelled to Darfur and was horrified by the stories that people of all ages shared with us.  Young children had watched their entire family get killed and then had to survive on their own in unimaginable conditions.  I was humbled and inspired by the courage of the Darfuri people and the commitment of the aid organisations that were working on the frontlines.  Now, with 13 aid organisations expelled from the country, over 1m people are at grave risk.  We cannot stand and watch as 1m people suffer.  We all need to stand up and demand that international aid is restored and that the people of Darfur are protected and given the chance to live in peace.”
