Activist Call: Key Developments in Sudan
Recent events have catapulted Sudan back into the headlines, and the international community is beginning to take notice of the deteriorating humanitarian and political situation throughout the country. Many of the key components of Sudan’s Comprehensive Peace Agreement, or CPA, which ended a 22-year civil war, have not been implemented. This is particularly troubling in light of the short amount of time before national elections next February and the South’s self-determination referendum in 2011.
Now is the time to keep the pressure on the White House to help put a stop to the ongoing genocide in Darfur and ensure that the United States takes the lead in establishing a comprehensive peace strategy for Sudan as a whole.
Join Enough Co-founder John Prendergast and Executive Director John Norris today at 2:00p.m. EST for a Sudan Activist Conference Call to discuss recent developments, including the U.S.-hosted conference this week that aimed to re-engage signatories and key guarantors to the CPA.
Call in toll-free: (877) 637.2077
Conference ID: 16454039
UPDATE: John and John, along with John Bagwell from Enough's advocacy team, fielded some interesting questions during this afternoon's activist call. Have a listen to the full call in this recording.

If you have followed the
If you have followed the genocide in Darfur over the past six years, then you have seen and heard every manner of insult to the human conscience. I'm not talking here only about the endless atrocities of the Sudanese government and its Janjaweed militias, atrocities documented at length by human rights organizations, a United Nations commission, the International Criminal Court and the U.S. government.
The False Allegation of Genocide
Day by day it is becoming very clear for the world that the very survival of the Western Advocacy Movement regarding Darfur relies solely on marketing the false allegation of the ongoing genocide in Darfur. The ongoing genocide in Dafur slogan has become an odd voice compared with the ground facts and the statements of the officials visiting the region. For those who still insist on labelling the current situation in Darfur as genocide presentation of strong evidences is of extreme urgency to back thier claim. If failing to do so then thier purposes will be very questionable and thier credibility will be at stake. The recent public note made by your colleague John Prendergast about the accuracy of the death figures in Darfur stands as a proof of your ill-informative and purposeful labelling of ongoing genocide in Darfur.
