Tell Secretary Clinton to prioritize Darfur

The U.S. must lead an urgent, intense and sustained diplomatic push to ensure the continued flow of humanitarian aid and end the genocide in Darfur. As the U.S.'s top diplomat, Secretary of State Clinton must act now.

Secretary Clinton:

(Edit Letter Below)

On the day of the International Criminal Court's decision to issue a warrant for his arrest, Sudanese President al-Bashir launched a crackdown on humanitarian aid organizations, reportedly ordering a dozen major aid operations to leave Sudan.

As the U.S.'s top diplomat, I hope you will lead an urgent, intense and sustained diplomatic push to ensure the continued flow of humanitarian aid and end the genocide in Darfur.

U.N. officials have previously stated that up to 100,000 people could die each month in Darfur if the fragile humanitarian system collapses. The international community must not allow this to happen. The United States must not allow this to happen.

Bashir is testing the waters - and the nerve - of the international community. Targeting humanitarian aid structures could be only a first step in Bashir's continued genocidal campaign in Darfur.

The world must ensure that Bashir's policies of divide and slaughter in Darfur - whether by violence or by forced starvation - are reversed. Bashir must not be allowed to continue his business as usual.

Please make the potential catastrophe in Darfur your top priority.

Sincerely,

[Your name]
