Since President Obama took office, an estimated 2,500 people have been killed in violent clashes in southern Sudan. Here's our petition to President Obama that we hope you'll sign as well:

"Thank you for responding to our question about the crisis in Sudan.  We agree with you, Mr. President, that there is an acute threat of violence during the upcoming elections and referendum period.  We respectfully disagree, however,  that our government has made the progress necessary to broker agreements in Sudan that will stabilize the country.  We therefore urge you, Mr. President,  to lead other counties willing to escalate pressures on the parties in support of peace.  Only with increased pressures and a full-time field-based diplomatic presence in Sudan, working on both Darfur and the North-South issues, will peace efforts have a chance of success."


 

 

Contact your Members of Congress

Last week, the National Security Council Deputies Committee met to review progress of the Obama Administration’s Sudan Policy. Contact your Members of Congress and ask them to request a meeting with the deputies for a full report on the implementation of the Sudan policy.
