Good News: Peace Deal Reached in Darfur
A letter from Save Darfur Coalition.
Dear Sharon ,
I have some good news to report! Earlier today, the Sudanese government and two of the main Darfur rebel factions signed a peace agreement to end three years of fighting that has killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions from their homes.
This is only the first step toward ending the violence in Darfur and putting a stop to the tragic genocide.
You and others have sent over 800,000 Million Voices postcards to President Bush. And just a day after over 50,000 rallied on the National Mall in Washington, and thousands joined rallies in cities across the country, President Bush dispatched Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick to the peace talks. You helped make the issue of genocide in Darfur a top priority for the Bush Administration. The momentum is building and we can make a difference! And thank President Bush for his leadership so far - but let him know there is more work still to be done.
The peace agreement has been signed, but we must make sure that both sides live up to the terms. The millions of men, women, and children who have been displaced or have had their lives rocked by violence will not know peace until the government and the rebels live up to theses agreed terms.
The Bush Administration must continue to play a leading role.
On a more personal note, I am incredibly grateful to the Save Darfur Coalition staff, our volunteers, member organizations and all of you for your incredible efforts over the past weeks and months. Each of you helped us reach this historic point - but it is only the first step.
As we continue the fight, there will be many more opportunities for you take action and help make a difference.
Best regards,
