As you probably have heard, a horrific humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Sudan and Chad. Suffering doesn't always make sexy headlines; news about the crisis in Darfur has vanished from the front pages. But no news isn't necessarily good news. Since early 2003, violence has driven more than two million people from their homes and left untold others dead.
If nothing is done, we believe the crisis in Darfur will continue at least until late 2006, causing further unrest and loss of life. But with the click of a mouse, you can help. On May 12, in testimony before the Senate, Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice said there may come a time when a special envoy is needed in Darfur. For the people of western Sudan, that time is now. Please email your members of Congress and encourage them to urge the Bush administration to appoint a special envoy to help resolve the crisis in Darfur. High-level diplomatic engagement by the United States has worked in the past. It can help save lives again. While the mainstream media appears to have forgotten about the violence in Sudan, you don't have to. http://ga0.org/campaign/sudan_envoy?rk=vdz3eFp10XIdW *********************************** Powered by GetActive Software, Inc.
