Save Darfur - A call for global action
"Help Stop the Genocide in Darfur
More than four years have passed since the start of the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. As many as 400,000 innocent people have been killed and more than 2.5 million more have been driven from their homes. These refugees now face starvation, disease, and rape, while those who remain in Darfur risk torture, death, and displacement. We must act quickly and decisively to end this genocide before hundreds of thousands more people are killed."*
While many of you have probably heard of the Virginia Tech shootings some months ago, or of the Burma uprisings happening as you read, the atrocities in Darfur seem to be given less prominence. We are fortunate enough to live on an island where democracy is the order of the day and we go about our lives rather calmly and without peril. This is not so in Darfur.
MKSU calls on you to take action now. One way of doing so is to sign the petition on the savedarfur.org website by clicking here.
