ألمانيا بدأت تشعر بالضغط .. إحتجاجات نشطاء ألمان و أمريكان و أوربيين

We are deeply disheartened and outraged by the recent announcement that Germany will host an international conference for Sudanese investment in Berlin on January 29 with Sudanese foreign minister Ali Karti. As you must know, Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir is under indictment for genocide and crimes against humanity in Darfur. Over the past twenty years, the Sudanese government has carried out crimes of genocide in South Sudan, in Darfur, in the Beja region and in the Nuba Mountains, collectively causing the deaths of approximately 3 million people. In the past 18 months, the Sudanese government has renewed ethnic cleansing in the Nuba Mountains, the Blue Nile Region and Abyei, using aerial bombardment of civilians and obstruction of humanitarian aid to cause deaths among members of African tribes and repeatedly reiterating its commitment to a racist policy. In recent months, it has carried out attacks on students of particular ethnicities, it has systematically dismantled its own legal system, it has jailed people of particular ethnicities and political affiliations allowing its security forces to attack, detain and torture civilians with impunity and it has renewed its war against its own citizens on the basis of ethnicity, both in the border regions and in Darfur.

As Jews and as Germans with a deep knowledge of the consequences of complicity with genocide, we urge you to cancel this conference as an abomination. Sudan currently uses 70% of its budget to carry out military action against its own citizens. International investment will provide greater means for the Sudanese government to carry out ethnic attacks and to further enstantiate its racist policies. We are appalled and ashamed to see the German government give its imprimateur to this travesty.
