Please join TransAfrica, the Africa Initiative of the American Friends
Service Committee (AFSC), Black Voices for Peace and the Africa Freedom and
Justice Coalition (AFJC) to discuss and come up with action plans to
resolve the Sudan crisis of ethnic cleansing and ongoing genocide.

The facts:
* Over a million people have been displaced, 30,000 people killed and young girls and women have been raped and brutalized
* USAID conservatively predicts that even if the killings stopped today,over 350,000 Sudanese will die in the next months from disease and starvation
* Another 600,000 people could be killed if aid does not arrive in the Sudan after the rainy season in the fall
* The current administration has stopped short of classifying these atrocities as genocide to avoid having to comply with the doctrine of the Geneva Convention which mandates that the international community intervene
