Stop the War Against Sudan
Document Actions Background on Sudan, the Darfur situation, and the involvement of Israel and its supporters. The author is Secretary of the Massachusetts Green-Rainbow Party. The Green-Rainbow Party's position paper on Sudan and Darfur is
available at http://www.green-rainbow.org/Statements/sudan.html
On April 30th supporters of a United Nations/U.S. military invasion of Sudan will rally in Washington DC. The anti-Sudan rhetoric in the US media is intensifying. And Zionist and pro-imperialist activists nationwide and in the Boston/Cambridge are busy demonizing Sudan, repeating outrageous allegations of “genocide” in Darfur against the Sudanese government and even still mischaracterizing the civil war in Darfur as being based on race or religion.

Green-Rainbow Party Statement on U.S. Imperialism and Sudan
We reject the racist mischaracterization of the situation in Darfur as genocide being perpetrated by Arabs. In reality, the conflict in Darfur is complex involving several warring armed factions. The US military and economic intervention over the last decade, which has worked to impoverish and destabilize Sudan, has largely caused the humanitarian crisis of civil war and famine in the Darfur region.
We oppose any military intervention in Sudan by the US, the UN, or imposed by any other foreign power. We also oppose the imposition of sanctions on the Sudanese government, particularly since US sanctions since 1997 with selective aid to rebel groups have been used to exacerbate civil war in Sudan and since the world has witnessed sanctions under the UN being used as an instrument of genocide in Iraq.
We recall the unprovoked criminal attack that destroyed the al-Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Sudan, launched by the Clinton administration in 1998, and call for the US government to pay reparations for this brutal transgression which rendered Sudan unable to produce needed human and veterinary pharmaceuticals. In 1967 Martin Luther King noted that the United States is the "greatest purveyor of violence in the world today." Given that this fact about the USA has remained true, we condemn the US government declaring Sudan a "terrorist" nation. The US should normalize relations with Sudan.
In the short term, unconditional food aid and medical aid are needed and should be sent to the Darfur region. In the long term, we will work for an end to imperialist and corporate interventions in all their forms in Sudan and throughout Africa as these policies have lead to chronic war and poverty on the continent. African nations should have their debts forgiven, and they should be free to reject International Monetary Fund structural adjustment policies which benefit multi-national corporations to the detriment of local populations.
We strongly condemn the practice of both the George Bush and John Kerry Presidential campaigns for distorting the human tragedy in Darfur for use towards domestic political ends and as a pretext for action to gain control over Sudanese oil that is currently being developed by China and other non-Western countries.
