Before the official torch of the Olympic Games is even lit, several other torch relays will have been completed in the name of those romantic notions that the Games purport to embody. Olympic Dream for Darfur, an activist group protesting China's complicity in the genocide that plagues the western region of Sudan, has organized the International Genocide Relay to focus on the survivor communities of modern genocides as a way to show the world what happens when the international community looks away. As a gesture of solidarity, other Darfur advocacy groups also focused on the Beijing-Khartoum connection have organized similar relays the world over.
