As Americans decide whether to re-elect their president or choose a new
leader, FRONTLINE/World gives voters an international perspective on the 2004 presidential race.
Featuring new Web-exclusive reports each Tuesday through the Nov. 2
election, "Dispatches from a Small Planet: Election 2004" illustrates how others in the world view the U.S. election.
This Week: Correspondent Amy Costello of PRI's "The World" files an eyewitness report from the Sudanese refugee camps in Chad, where some 180,000 black Africans have fled attacks by Sudanese government-backed Arab raiders known as the Janjaweed. Over the past 18 months, some 50,000 people in Sudan's Darfur region have been killed in what U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell is now calling "genocide."
Join Costello online Friday, Sept. 24, at 11 a.m. ET, to discuss her report.
Submit your questions and comments before or during the discussion.
"Dispatches from a Small Planet: Election 2004" will feature stories by young "backpack journalists," in addition to award-winning veterans such as Lowell Bergman and Orville Schell.
