U.S.A.: Stop Killing Starving Civilians in Afghanistan
- Target: George Bush, President, U.S Government
- Sponsored by: Leila Merosands
The people of Afghanistan are starving and are in grave danger. We must stop massive killing through starvation, and attempt to redress our own damages. About 8 million people are at risk of imminent starvation, and no one can get in now to count how many have already died because of our actions. The UN, Medicins Sans Frontiers, all of the respected agencies reporting on the situation have universally deplored the food drops as an obvious PR tactic, as likely to do harm as any good at all.
These people are refugees in their own country, a nation crushed and devastated by war. The scale of the harm we’re causing now has to be called genocidal. These people don’t need another onslaught from superpowers with a political agenda, they need a chance to survive.
We can bring in food effectively by truck convoy, and also have to allow the relief agencies and Pakistan to resume their emergency aid. We should provide added support if screening of refugees or protection for both workers and refugees is considered necessary.
Please sign to save lives and stop the silent killing.
We implore you to effectively address the human rights concerns that US actions have created for the people of Afghanistan. The people of Afghanistan are starving and in grave danger. We must stop massive killing through starvation, and attempt to redress our own damages About eight million people are at risk of imminent starvation, and no one can get in now to count how many have already died because of our actions. The UN, Medicins Sans Frontiers, the many respected agencies reporting on the situation have universally deplored the food drops as the proverbial “drop in a bucket“, as likely to do harm as any good.
These people are refugees in their own country, crushed by many years of war and brutality, a fact our own past political actions have played no small part in. The sanctions cutting off basic life support from both international aid agencies and Pakistan must be stopped immediately. Far more extensive efforts to prevent what can only be described as a possible genocide must be made. Truck convoys with food have to be sent, and additional aid provided if further protection or screening of refugees is deemed necessary. In recognizing our responsibility not to harm the victims of our own enemies, we have the means to assure that both the emergency aid provided before our arrival is continued, and to demonstrate that we can be generous; it’s imperative that we do so.
There is no moral action possible without fully recognizing and addressing these people’s human rights and desperate need. These brave people have suffered enough at the hands of the Taliban; they need food and a chance for survival, not another onslaught. This massive scale devastation against the innocent is a shameful act for the American people, and a shameful legacy for those who died in New York.
In Solidarity,
The Undersigned.
