Speak Out Against the Expulsion of Aid Agencies from Darfur.


Speak Out Against the Expulsion of Aid Agencies from Darfur.
The Issue
From the good people at Stop Genocide Now:
Hours after the ICC announced an arrest warrant for Sudan's President al-Bashir, he and his administration distributed their own blows to the country. Ultimately, unless the International community acts, we are allowing Sudan to continue genocide of it's non-arab population. Without aid workers, they don't need the Janjaweed militia men riding in and raping, burning and killing, Darfuris will waste away in displacement camps - genocide by starvation and disease.
CARE - 1.5 million civilians food, water, sanitation services
OXFAM - 650,000 Darfuris, and 1.1 other Sudanese in North and East
MSF-Holland (Doctors without Borders) - 200,000 and during a meningitis outbreak
MSF-France
Mercy Corps
Save the Children
the Norwegian Refugee Council
the International Rescue Committee - 600,000 left alone
Action Contre la Faim
Solidarites
CHF International
ACTIONS:
1. Please call the White House today (202 456 1111) or State Department (202 647 6575) and say "I want President Obama and his administration to ensure humanitarian aid is not cut off for Darfur and to appoint a high-level official with the necessary stature, authority and mandate to bring peace to Sudan and its people"
2. Sign IRC's petition to UN Secretary General Ban ki-Moon about aid agencies being kicked out.
3. Use your facebook profile, twitter account, myspace page or other social network to post info about Sudan. Swift action must be taken, millions of lives are at stake.
4. Fax the White House.
5. Text Secretary of State Clinton at 90822 - Tell her to do more for Darfur immediately.
