Clooney asks Obama for commitments on Sudan
None
President Barack Obama met with activist-actor George Clooney at the White House to discuss US involvement in Sudan ahead of a critical election early next year in Africa's largest nation.
Clooney is asking the US and international community to take steps to prevent violence ahead of an election that could ignite another civil war in Sudan. The Jan. 9 vote is an independence referendum on south Sudan that is likely to split the country in two. (AP)
