Press Release
Darfurian Delegates and African Activists to Hold Summit
Darfurian leaders and African regional human rights and social activists will assemble for the 2nd Summit: Solutions for Darfur and Beyond. The Summit hosted by Darfur United, the Africa Next Project, and the Marginalized Forces Forum for Peace and Development will be held on the campus of the American University in Washington, DC on March 10-15, 2007. The first Part of the summit, Saturday and Sunday, March 10 – 11 is only open to the Darfurians, the organizers, and the media. The second part on Monday and Tuesday, March 12 – 13 is open to the public and shall take place at the Ward Building in the rooms Ward 1 and Ward 2.
With the theme “We Wish to Plead Our Own Cause,” the conference will offer a comprehensive understanding of the crisis in Darfur, the nature of marginalization in Sudan, and political instability in Central Africa and the Horn of Africa.
The conference will begin with weekend sessions calling for Restarting Talks on Peace and Security and a Day of Darfur-Darfur Dialogue aimed at unity of Darfurians, planning for peace, justice, and equal share of power and wealth.
This Summit is a follow-up to the 2006 Summit held at Kentucky State University in Frankfort, Kentucky. The working group formed after that Summit will present the need for a Consortium for African Leadership Development and Training to shape leaders for Africa, transform military leaders into civilian leaders, and create modern civic societies of political and social stability and economic viability. In addition, they will coordinate Taskforces focused on Social and Economic Development.
Also, the conference will demystify the elements of the crisis and simplify the issues with a spotlight on historical truths and the making of the modern Arab world. Khalifah Khalif, founder of United Brothers and United Sisters’ National Black Writers Alliance will host an Authors’ Dialogue titled “Islam Exposed: An Internal View of the Crisis in Darfur.” He will be featuring the books The Un-Promised Generations: A Personal Addendum on Arabization and the Historical Heritage of the Arabs by Sage Starkeeper and A Muslim Manifesto on Darfur/ Justice for the People of Darfur: Hell on Earth Must End by Imam Al-Hajj Talib Abur-Rashid.
Lastly, the Summit will conclude with a mandate to let the crisis in Darfur be a beacon to end genocide, brutality and war on the African continent. Summit organizers will rally its supporters to initiate two movements. The first movement is to make “Rape as a Tactic of War a War Crime under the Geneva Conventions. The second movement is to make a Declaration of The Decade of the Pursuit of Peace on the African continent. For more information, please contact:
