Ndour calls for Darfur action

Earlier this week, Time called Youssou N'Dour one of the most influential people on the planet. Let's hope so: he's trying to mobilise artists from across Africa to campaign for immediate help for people in Darfur.

He might not solve the civil war and the humanitarian nightmare we've all helped to create, but it's got to be more use than Hugh Grant throwing egg-timers filled with blood around, surely?
