Civilians in Darfur still continue to suffer, despite UN military intervention there. Human Rights Watch reported that the UN military forces are still not able to protect the civilians who are trying to return to some sort of normal semblance of life. There have been at least 40 civilians killed in recent fighting between the government-backed army and the rebel forces, according to the Human Rights Watch report. Darfur still suffers, and we in the west are still sitting idly by.... Have you seen anything about Darfur in the U.S. media? Does anyone push for peace in Darfur in our government? What do the presidential candidates say about this? We sit idly by when we need to push our governments to contribute to a stronger resolution for peace in this region. It has been too long, and yet there has been no real action taken.
Add your voice here to urge the next president to take action. They need 20,000 more voices by Election Day.
