the crisis in darfur...you remember darfur, don't you?well, sending mixed messages can only make things worse for the people of darfur...yet the u.s. government, my government led by the bush administration, has chosen to play with fire...sudanese president omar al-bashir may never have to answer for his alleged crimes if the investigation against him is suspended...but you can ensure justice for the people of darfur...
one week the u.s. government is telling us that they would never condone delaying the international criminal court’s (icc) investigations in darfur...another week, secretary of state condoleezza rice is reported to be supplying sudanese officials with a list of conditions that sudan would need to meet in order to discuss delaying the icc’s investigation of cashir...justice cannot be bargained away – help ensure the icc investigation of bashir...
even entertaining the idea of supporting the deferral of the icc's investigation sends the wrong signal to the people of darfur...so join me in urging u.s. officials to continue being strong advocates for justice in darfur - in both words and actions...
yes, the conflict in darfur is complex, to say the least...but we must never lose sight of the underlying issues - human rights, freedom and justice...
small steps you can take to support justice in darfur:
- check out the darfur now action guide
- order your copy of the movie, darfur now: an inspiring journey following six passionate individuals working to bring about an end to the conflict in darfur
- stand up for darfur by organizing a screening of darfur now in your home, classroom, or a local venue such as a library or community center
peace out <3
