Bio of keynote speakers: Senator Mobina Jaffer was appointed to the Canadian Senate in 2001 as the first Muslim women, first African, she continues to bring issues of human rights and other important issues to her colleagues in the Parliament of Canada.
Senator Jaffer is currently a member of the Standing Senate Committee on Official Languages, the Senate Committee on Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration, Special Committee on the Anti-Terrorism Act, Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs and the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs.
In 2002 she was appointed as the Special Envoy to the Peace Process in Sudan, a position she held until early 2006. As the Special Envoy, Senator Jaffer worked along side her counter-parts world wide to aid the people of Sudan in the search for peace. She met with many Sudanese people within Sudan, and Canada and has represented the Canadian Government on several occasions in Washington. Her presence here today, speaks to her commitment to peace and her willingness to help the people of Sudan.
Jaffer took on the role as the Chair of the Canadian Committee on Women Peace & Security Senator in 2002 wherein her belief that the key to peace is the inclusion of women in the peace process, as was outlined in the United Nations 1325 (2000) Resolution, was put into action. As Chair of the Canadian Committee of Women Peace & Security she held round tables on racial profiling, finding peaceful solutions to middle-east warring, and the plight of Afghani and Iraqi women. She held this position until late 2005.

About: Montreal’s September 17th ‘Rally for Darfur’ will be an outdoor gathering with 135 minute program featuring music, visual displays, and speakers from an array of backgrounds.

We are expecting more than 1000 attendees.
Darfuris and survivors of the Rwandan genocide, Multi-faith community leaders, NGO workers from the field, Montreal academics, politicians from the three levels of government (federal, provincial and municipal), and student activists will speak for 3 -7 minutes each. It will be a bilingual forum, bringing the city’s Francophones and Anglophones together with regards to Darfur for the first time. The event will be held in the heart of downtown, close to public transportation access. It will be peaceful in nature and open to all members of the public.
The proposed schedule is as follows:
2:15 – 2:45pm: Pre-rally music to be played while crowd arrives and settles. Several Afrobeat style musicians have been invited to perform, as well as some local Quebecois acts with human rights oriented lyrics.
PROGRAM BEGINS

Tara will: provide a short explanation of why assembling for Darfur is important, give a brief outline of the rally’s objectives, discuss the larger ‘Global Day for Darfur’ objectives and sister events, and encourage attendees to participate and organize future activities with regards to Darfur.

3:25 – 3:40: Multi-faith coalition – three to four representatives from differing Canadian religious communities who participated in a country-wide interfaith initiative to lobby the Canadian government on the issue of Darfur will discuss: their activities and how they were received. They will also encourage their respective religious communities to get involved in activism and lobbying for Darfur.
3:40 – 3:55: Darfuris and survivors of the 1994 Rwandan genocide – Darfuris will present on the human realities of the conflict; a local Rwandan genocide survivor will discuss what he/she lived through in 1994, and will draw parallels between Rwandan experiences and those of Darfuris in the current conflict.
3:55 – 4:10: Politicians from federal, provincial & municipal levels of government – several high profile politicians with a history of Darfur-related advocacy will present on what Canada, Canadians and Quebecois can be doing to pressure action in Darfur at the international level.
4:10 – 4:20: Student activists – members of STAND Concordia, STAND McGill, and a francophone student organization will discuss past and present activities with regards to Darfur, and will encourage students in attendance to get involved.

Since 2003, Darfur in Western Sudan has been embroiled in a deadly conflict. Since 2003, 85,000 civilians have been killed and more than 200,000 have died from war related causes. More than 2 million people have been displaced and live in displaced-persons camps in Sudan or in refugee camps in Chad; more than 3.5 million people are reliant on international aid for survival.
António Guterres, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has described the situation in Sudan and Chad as “the largest and most complex humanitarian problem on the globe.”
Governments have been quick to call for an end to the violence, but slow to act. UN resolutions have not been implemented and six rounds of peace talks over almost two years have failed to resolve the crisis. A new approach is needed by the international community to prevent further violence and suffering.
Amnesty International is calling for the immediate deployment of a strong UN peacekeeping force to protect civilians in Darfur. Strong public action is now essential to put pressure on the UN Security Council member states into taking action, and calling for the immediate deployment of a UN Peacekeeping force in Darfur.
Join us - On Friday 15th September Amnesty members around the world and other coalitions of organisations will participipate in a day of action. At 1pm, the Lord Mayor of Dublin Cllr Vincent Jackson will light a candle on the steps of the Mansion House, to express the solidarity of the people of Dublin with the people of Darfur. The group will then proceed to St. Anne's Church on Dawson Street to conduct an event which will include testimonies attesting to the suffering of the people of Darfur, as well as music and song.
