Stop Bashir's Defiance

Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir is backtracking on his government's agreements and attempting to block the peacekeepers for Darfur.

It is up to our world leaders to stop his obstruction.

Fill out the form below to send tell President Bush that Bashir's defiance of the international community will not be tolerated.

Dear [ Decision Maker ],

(Edit Letter Below)

As many as 400,000 people have been killed in Darfur. Another 2.5 million have been driven from their homes and into further danger. The threats of rape, torture, murder and malnutrition pursue the women and children of Darfur wherever they flee. World leaders must unite now to deploy the hybrid U.N.-A.U. peacekeeping force that the Security Council authorized in July.

Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir is doing all he can to block deployment of these peacekeepers.

We MUST NOT let him succeed!

I therefore ask you to:

1. Make ending the crisis in Darfur one of your top priorities as you enter your last year in office;

2. Push for the fastest possible deployment of the hybrid U.N.-A.U. peacekeeping force authorized by the U.N. Security Council in July;

3. Pressure contributing nations to fully and immediately pledge and provide the necessary troops, funding, equipment, and logistical support, especially transport and attack helicopters;

4. Work to ensure the Sudanese government's full participation in a just and inclusive peace process, and to overcome any attempts to obstruct or delay the protection of civilians or the peace process;

5. Increase humanitarian aid and ensure access for its safe delivery.

Please don't let President Al-Bashir continue to thumb his nose at the rest of the world. Too many lives hang in the balance in Darfur. They need peacekeepers now!

Thank you for your leadership on this urgent matter.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
