TAKE ACTION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

EMERGENCY IN SUDAN

Civilians are facing an unthinkable crisis in Sudan — over 24,000 people have been killed and over 11 million have been forcibly displaced, with nowhere to turn.

The flow of deadly weapons into Sudan is one of the main things perpetuating this emergency, and the international community has a responsibility to protect the people of Sudan. We must show civilians that we have not abandoned them.

ACT NOW: Ask your members of Congress to enforce the arms embargo on Darfur.

I write with deep concern about the developments in Sudan. Since the conflict began, the fighting between warring parties has killed more than 24,000 civilians and forced more than 11 million to flee as IDPs and refugees. The flow of heavy weaponry into the country enables actors on both sides of the conflict to commit violations against the people of Sudan.

With so many lives at stake, I urge you, in your Congressional oversight role, to push the U.S. to take decisive action to protect civilians in Sudan.

Specifically, I ask that you write to the Biden Administration and ask them to enforce the arms embargo on Darfur.

The significant escalation of violence continues to impact civilians, as parties to the conflict commit crimes under international law and other serious violations and abuses. The enofrcemnet of the arms embargo should include an effective mechanism to monitor international sales and prevent illicit transfers of arms to Sudan.

The current fighting echoes the atrocities of 20 years ago. Many of the actors who committed war crimes and crimes against humanity continue to operate within the country. If nothing is done, the conflict in Sudan has the potential to destabilize the entire region and millions of people in Sudan will be left with their human rights unprotected and their lives at risk. By enforcing the arms embargo, we can address and stem the violence against civilians that is spreading throughout the country with no end in sight.

Please take swift action against the flow of deadly arms into Sudan.

Sincerely,
