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 authorized 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 Chancellor Andrea Merkel that Germans are watching, and that we refuse to let the atrocities in Darfur continue.
We signed the “Tell Chancellor Merkel: Stop the Darfur Genocide Now” petition!

The Darfur genocide has gone on for too, too long and we must do something like sending in a peace mission to end the slaughter.

We are lucky to live in places like America and Europe, where we don't have to walk 5 miles under a burning sun to get some dirty water for our families. It is our responsiblity to help those less fortunate. We must stop the crisis in Darfur NOW!
