ACTION: Helicopters for Darfur
[If you've already signed the petition mentioned below, please ask your friends and family members to sign! Thank you!]
Peacekeepers in Darfur, once they are deployed, will be operating in a vast desert with only dirt tracks between major towns. To be effective in such an environment, they will need 24 helicopters for transport and security. But no country has stepped up to provide these helicopters. NATO countries among them have 18,000 helicopters at their disposal. But no one has yet contributed any to the Darfur peacekeeping mission.
World leaders are failing to match their words with actions and are turning away from genocide. Again.
Please take a moment to sign a petition at the Save Darfur Coalition website, which urges President Bush to work to secure the 24 helicopters necessary for UNAMID’s success. Visit the links below for more information.
