Abstract
"This Just In" piece reporting that Portland-based members of the Fur tribe, one of the largest Sudanese tribes, are pushing legislation which they hope will help end killings in the Darfur region. Sen. Ethan Strimling (D-Portland), is sponsoring a bill to make the Maine State Retirement System sell its holdings in businesses investing or operating in Sudan. Rep. David Bowles (R-Sanford), says pinching companies in Sudan will only cause Sudanese to lose jobs. According to Conflict Securities Advisory Group, Maine has invested $50 million in 18 companies with holdings in Sudan.
