Kentucky treasurer pushes for Sudan divestment - November 20, 2006 - Pensions & Investments

This article is probably restricted, but the important message is that the Treasurer of Kentucky's Retirement system has fired the first of what I hope to be many shots at the Sudanese government.

This is hopefully history repeating itself. The pressure put on by US financial institutions in South Africa ultimately contributed to the no violent changes final instituted and an end to Apartheid.
