Activists,
A coalition of Darfuri ex-pat community groups today sent a letter to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan calling for the deployment of a strong UN peacekeeping force to protect their friends and relatives in Darfur. The letter, which was signed by 9 groups representing a wide range of Darfuri society, was delivered just days after a draft resolution authorizing such a UN force was presented to the Security Council.

Quote: http://today.reuters.com/News/CrisesArticle.aspx?storyId=N22281445. A coalition of eight Darfuri groups based in the United States sent a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Tuesday urging the quick deployment of a U.N. force and condemning Sudan's plans to send their own troops there. "Our brothers and sisters still in Darfur cannot afford another month of debate. The time to act is now," said Suliman Giddo of the group Darfur Peace and Development. "The United Nations must not delay sending real help to Darfur and must not for one instant consider allowing the perpetrators of genocide to reinforce their Janjaweed militias," he said, referring to the Arab militia mobilized by Sudan's government in response to a rebel uprising in Darfur. The Janjaweed, who are usually on horseback, conducted a campaign of murder, #####ng and rape. In recent months, in-fighting among the rebels has resulted in similar atrocities against civilians.
