TEXT THE SECRETARY on SUDAN at 90822
"DO NOT END SUDAN SANCTIONS WITHOUT REAL PROGRESS"
At last week's Senate hearing on Sudan, Special Envoy Gration asked for "more space on sanctions" claiming that they were hindering development in southern Sudan. Congress already took action in 2006 to create significant exceptions for the south and other marginalized areas of Sudan for development purposes. We should not roll back the sanctions.
We need assurances from Secretary Clinton that the Obama Administration will support keeping the sanctions in place until the Sudan government fulfills its obligations on the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and the peace process in Darfur.
Send Hillary a Text Message on Sudan
I pledge to...
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is touring Africa at the moment, and the team at Enough is pushing to make Darfur a priority item on her agenda.</p>
