Tell Prime Minister Blair: Stop the Darfur Genocide Now

Target: Tony Blair, Prime Minister
Sponsored 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 Tony Blair that Britains are watching, and that we refuse to let the atrocities in Darfur continue.
deadline: 9-30-2007
goal: 10,000

Dear Prime Minister Blair,

Everyday, the 2.5 million people chased from their homes in Darfur face the threat of starvation, disease, and rape, while the few lucky enough to remain in their homes risk displacement, torture, and murder. Therefore, we call on you to do the following:

• Push for the immediate deployment of the already-authorised 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.

Mr Blair, your time is short. This is an opportunity for you; let the end of your time in office to be remembered by your ceaseless fight for justice on behalf of people in Darfur and worldwide who are suffering but have no power to change their situation. You have the power; don't let history remember your reign as a time of political spin and sleaze - more suited to soap-opera than government.

Some of the comments on this page are sickening. This is not a place to spout your hate speech for anyone. This is a forum for the millions of people dying everyday in Darfur. This is for those who suffer, who cry, who are hungry, are cold, are alone, are tortured, etc. Shame on you people using this forum to degrade anyone.

How can you sleep at night, knowing innocent people, especially children are being murdered. Dafur needs peacekeepers before it's too late.

Stop acting like George W. Bush, the #1 terrorist in the world! Do the right thing, NOW!!! And remember, Jesus said it best: "For I was hungry and you gave me no food; I was thirsty and you gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and you did not take me in, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me. Then they also will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?' Then will he answer them, saying, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me." (Matthew 25:42-45) Contained within every evil(greedy profiteering republican) act are the seeds of its own destruction. Adhere to the teachings of Jesus, as contained in The Urantia Book, or else suffer the consequences. It IS that simple. TRUTH has been spoken to power, Peace will prevail. Buck Fush! SUPPORT GLOBAL PEACE AND ECONOMIC STABILITY, AS WELL AS ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABILITY... IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY NOW!

I think you do know about the power of hatred and violence and lies. Once in motion such a wave cannot be stopped other than from outside. Please care for peacekeepers in Darfur!

We should be sending people to aide in Darfur not to Iraq.
