Whilst a presidential candidate Obama Barack promised “unstinting resolve” to end the genocide in Darfur. The savedarfur.org campaign are asking you to demonstrate to the President Elect that you back his “unstinting resolve” and call on him to:

• Protection of civilians from violence, starvation and disease
• Sustainable peace for all Sudan
• Justice for victims and accountability for perpetrators

It will only take a minutes effort on your part to add your support to this campaign.

The situation isn’t getting better for those in Darfur:
Janjaweed militiamen have been massing around Hassa Hissa, an internally displaced persons camp near Zalengei, West Darfur.
UNAMID report, the Janjaweed militiamen shot into the air, set at least five main water pumps on fire, and destroyed electricity generators. Whilst a UNAMID team was dispatched to the area to calm tensions following the incident, continued reports from Darfuris state that the Janjaweed are harassing civilians. Savedarfur.org report that over 100 water pumps and irrigation systems were at least partially damaged and the main line supplying drinking water to the camp was completely destroyed, leaving camp residents without water for multiple days. Last weekend, the residents remained without water.

The ICC prosecutor has stated to world leaders that acts of Genocide are continuing in the region. It’s time they listened and took action. Let the President Elect know that the situation in Darfur is unacceptable to you, take action and send Obama Barack a message to back his “unstinting resolve” and to take immediate action on the situation in Darfur when he is President.
