How long will it take for the Obama White House to change course on this country’s Darfur and Sudan policies?
Among other things, here’s what’s needed right now:
- The imposition of targeted multilateral sanctions against the Sudanese government’s top leaders.
- A strong display of public support for the ICC’s open case on Darfur.
- A comprehensive emergency response plan to prevent Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir from carrying out his threats to accelerate attacks on innocent Darfuri civlians.
For sure, the Darfur movement won’t be taking anything for granted as the new administration gets settled in. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be posting some new action alerts targeted at the new White House and new Congress.
