Hollywood actor George Clooney donates $1M to fight corruption in Africa


Popular Hollywood actor, George Clooney has donated $1 million to the Sentry campaign group to help in the fight against war crimes and corruption in Africa.

The Clooney Foundation for Justice  announced the donation to the Sentry, an investigative initiative that Clooney co-founded to uncover the financial networks behind conflicts in Africa. 

In a statement, Clooney said:

"Our focus is to make sure that war crimes don’t pay. We want to make it more difficult for those willing to kill en masse to secure their political and economic objectives. 
When we’re able to go after the warlords’ wallets and bankrupt those who choose the bullet over the ballot, suddenly the incentives are for peace, not war; transparency, not corruption.”
