Our Focus on Africa

Fifteen years after the world failed to stop the massacre of more than 800,000 innocent people in Rwanda, the world's response to the current bloodshed in Africa is shockingly similar.

Today, civilians continue to be the victims of widespread crimes against humanity in Sudan, Chad, Congo, northern Uganda, and the Horn of Africa. This rampant, man-made suffering warrants an immediate and robust response, yet inadequate attention from our world leaders have allowed these horrors to persist.

Africa is the frontline for our attention, not only because of the grave challenges on the continent, but because of the opportunities as well.The ENOUGH Project is committed to bringing lasting change to these countries, where action and accountability are most urgent.

In the last few decades, countries like Mozambique, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Burundi, Rwanda, and South Africa have successfully emerged from crises and are now committed to building stability, peace, and democracy for themselves. They offer important lessons on how crises can be ended and the foundation for sustainable peace built.

Change is not only possible, it has happened. And ENOUGH will promote the policies and actions that will drive the international community to help bring about deep, lasting change to the most war-torn regions of Africa.
