Dave posted a link a few days ago for those of you who want to make a difference in Darfur, and today I'm inviting you do something similar.
In the coming days, Sudan is hoping to be elected chair of the Africa Union. The Sudanese government is a key player in the ongoing bloodshed in Darfur, supplying the janjaweed militias with weapons and technology to continue killing campaigns. It is imperative that they do not obtain this leadership role.
The only external peacekeeping forces the Sudanese government has permitted into the region have been African Union troops. If Sudan were leading the African Union, the only source of on-the-ground accountability would become subject to their leadership. The world cannot stand by and allow such a regime to be honored with this powerful and reputable leadership role.
Tell Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that it is urgent that she does all she can to urge African leaders not to elect Sudan the chair of the African Union (the organization of African States) next week.
