continued violence sparks new resolutions for darfur...

the u.s. congress has been working to bring security to a region plagued with violence for far too long...

new resolutions introduced in the u.s. house and the senate could finally mean protection for civilians in the darfur conflict region...both senators and representatives have crafted legislation aimed at ending the increased armed conflict and human rights violations...

violence currently extends well beyond the boundaries of darfur and threatens to overwhelm the neighboring countries of chad and the central african republic (car)...

as for the u.n...the u.n. urgently needs two things in order to finally bring much-needed security to the darfur conflict region: (1) ground and air transport equipment (2) an end to the sudanese government’s obstruction of deployment...there is a new petirion and petition challenge--gather signatures for the petition to u.s. secretary of state rice which you can download here...demand that the u.s. government take a stand for darfur by using their influence to urge immediate action...

peace out <3
