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.

We cannot let such gross injustices occur in Darfur, Sudan. Australia needs to get educated about what's happening there and support the work of the UN (United Nations), AU (African Union) and other peacekeeprs and humanitarian groups by providing them with resources.

If people are dying it is the duty of countries with the resources to help stop this genocide, to do so!!! if feel there is enough justification fighting in iraq, then there is even more justification in helping Darfur!!! Australia is a country who pride themselves on their fairness and sense of justice so do it for the will of many Australians!

Further inaction by Western Nations will lead to an even greater human tragedy. Worl leaders and people worlwide swore that they would not sit back and watch another genocide after WW2, Serbia & Rwanda and here we are again. How long will good man stand idly by wthousands of people are killed and millions are left homeless. Stand up and fight for our humanity and our future as citizens of the world!

The current situation in Darfur is an outrage against human decency. The international community must intervene immediately in order to save the people of Darfur.

"Never again for genocide in Rwanda, 13 years ago" and YES for the ethnic cleansing,killing in Darfur.Comeon world...... comeon Mr. Howard, Darfur up in flame represented the darkest moment of mankind.This is the time Australia should presume and vibrate her world leadership given the tag of war that have engulfed the United Nation.China and Russias' steps over Darfur leaves no doubt they are worried peace keeping would endanger their investments and strain ties with authoritarian regime in khartoum. I said Australia should lead the world but not from behind and should start NOW in Darfur.
