Helicopters for Darfur
This is a followup to an action item I posted last week.
Senators Biden and Lugar have introduced a resolution urging world leaders to provide 24 helicopters that peacekeepers in Darfur need to succeed. But they need to secure support from their colleagues to make sure the resolution is voted on quickly.
Other background:
Last week, Sudanese President Bashir, in his most outrageous affront to the international community, appointed Musa Hilal, a militia leader who helped orchestrate genocide in Darfur, as a senior adviser on ethnic affairs.
The world's inability to provide just 24 helicopters - helicopters that can protect Darfurians from men like Hilal - tells Bashir that we are willing to sit back and tolerate such gross violations of international law.
Signed it, and called
Signed it, and called Senator Feinstein/Boxer's offices.
