militias known as the Janjaweed.
Refugees have been flooding into neighboring Chad, but the majority remain inside Sudan. Thousands more die each month from lack of adequate food, water, healthcare and shelter.
After the horrors of the Holocaust, we promised that "never again" would the world sit back and allow such atrocities to occur. Yet,
again and again, in Yugoslavia, Kosovo, Cambodia, Rwanda and others, genocide did occur; And again today the Sudan continues to be ravaged
by the horrors of yet another genocide. We can not stand idly by as hundreds of thousands of people are slaughtered, we can not yet again break the promise of "never again."
The mission of Darfur Action is:
i. Increasing awareness on campus about the ongoing genocide and
humanitarian crisis in the Darfur region of Sudan
ii. Fundraising money for relief agencies,
iii. Promoting political action by lobbying governments to intervene
and increase relief efforts.
