Tell Prime Minister Howard: Stop the Darfur Genocide Now
Target: John Howard, Prime MinisterSponsored by: Save Darfur Coalition
The tragedy in Darfur has reached a critical moment. Already millions of Darfuris - driven from their homes - are completely dependent on international aid for food, medicine and shelter. But due to escalating violence, much of that aid can no longer reach those who need it most.
A UN peacekeeping force remains the only hope to bring peace to the region.
But the peacekeeping force - already authorised by the UN Security Council - might never make it to Darfur if the Sudanese government doesn’t agree to let it in. That's why it's so important that our world leaders ramp up the pressure and demand that the peacekeepers are admitted.
Now is the time to remind Prime Minister John Howard that Australians are watching, and that we refuse to let the atrocities in Darfur continue.

Darfur has been embroiled in Oil Politics, often a kiss-of-death for new, weak states. We, including you & Downer, have a bad record here, having wheeled & dealed for decades to grab East Timor's oil resources. We can make up for past sins in this field by helping in a world effort to bring Darfur through this peril.

I am appalled that after so many years of war and destruction, that we continue to siton our hands and do nothing to save the tragedy in Africa. How is it ok to invade Iraq to oust a brutal dictator, but ignore many even more brutal regimes in Africa - is it because they are mostly black and don't have oil, gold or diamonds?

With billions of access dollars in our budget we in Australia would do more for world peace by helping the poor and starving of this world than throwing it away on the so called war on terrorism

The coalition through their illegal invasion of Iraq have contributed to the deaths of more civilians than even Saddam committed. Now is the time to divert money spent killing people to money spent saving them!

Try to let this awful tragedy move you to act urgently and EFFECTIVELY; that is, long term aid for these people is essential. Australia can afford it and so we should give it. If you do nothing your claims to be a Christian are vacuous and hollow.

Why is peace so hard to achieve? Why not think humanity instead of fighting...for what? Lives and loved ones are more important than anything else, please give the people of Darfur the chance to live their lives, love their friends and families in peace and safety.

Save the innocent people of Darfur, please join us in telling Prime Minister Howard to do the following: Push for the immediate deployment of the already-authorized UN peacekeeping force. Strengthen the understaffed African Union force already in Darfur until the UN force can be deployed. Implement a fair and lasting Peace Agreement. Increase humanitarian aid and ensure access for delivery.
