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.

The Sudanese regime is worse than Saddam Hussein. The leaders are religious bigots and warmongers, who authorise killings on basis of race and religion alone.

We would not accept such atrocities in our own country.Why, as a nation, do we turn a blind eye on Sudan. International aid is urgently needed to stop the violence, the inhumanity, and the genocide!

diplomacy and tact have been prudently used to sustain relaions with the sudanese government, however intervention has become increasingly necessary and the international community cannot simply stand back and watch as yet another country in history decends deeper into murderous oppression.

Any genocide is awful and should be stopped given that there are ways of preventing it and they are not being allowed access.

Darfur desperately needs the assistance of the international community. How much longer will we sit by while so many men, women and children are killed brutally?

Please do not allow politics to stand in the way of action that will save lives. We would not allow such treatment of Australians, so why remain silent for the people of Darfur?

It is the ressonsibility of those with education and provelage to demand justice for those without. Take global action now and make peace in Darfur

The genocide in Darfur must be stopped and additional migrants accepted to live in Australia. People from all countries are welcome to live in Australia.

May the horrific cries of the helpless women and children of Darfur reach your ears and may the stench of their mutilated corpses rich your Nostrils, dear Howard.

As a "first world" country-to sit and do nothing is as shameful as doing the killing ourselves!

Immediate pressure applied by the Australian Government would contribute to the international voice. The Darfur genocide must cease.

The new Australian Citizenship rules constantly mention 'Australian Values'. Two of the most important ones are helping the underdog and ensuring everyone gets a fair go. What we have allowed to continue happening in Darfur is against these, and any humanitarian, values. As the Anglican confession states "we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, and in what we have failed to do." We are required to act.

This Genocide must stop as we must stop our aggression in Iraq and around the Globe. Hitler tried it and did not succeed. If the Sudan was not a country populated with black people this nation would have interceded long ago. Shortly in the United States their will be a new Administration that will not idly stand by and watch this genocide of innocent men, women and children.
