Press Release
The people of Darfur in United States Appeal for Peace in Darfur Region
Western Sudan Where Three Million People at Risk
The people of Darfur in the United States will be Demonstration and Hunger Strike
on Tuesday June 1, 2004 between 11:00am 8:00pm, in 47 st and 1 Ave front of the United Nation Building New York City.
The Hunger Strike is in solidarity with the millions of starved,
oppressed, and displaced and refugees' children women and elder civilian
Darfurians. In the Greater Darfur Region of Western Sudan that represents
approximately one fifth of both Sudan's geographic area (510,888 sq.
km) and Sudan's population about seven million is teetering on the verge
of mass starvation. An estimated three (3) million people in Darfur are
consi
dered at eminent risk of humanitarian catastrophe as the situation
continues to deteriorate. Over one million black Darfurians have been
forcibly exiled from their homes through a systematic strategy of
scorched-earth destruction, by the Sudan's government continuous aerial
bombardment and it's sponsored marauding militias (Janjawiet) raiding on
Black African villages killing, burning of villages and crops, #####ng of
houses and shops. Compounded by the longstanding prevention and
manipulation of access for aid workers and food supplies, alludes to strategy
of systematic and deliberate starvation being enforced by the
government of Sudan and its security forces. Between January 2003 and May 2004
nearly 10,000 people have been brutally murdered, 130,000 refugees have
fled to neighboring Chad are living in an extreme danger of spiraling
humanitarian crisis. More than 950,000 livestock that have been lost or
perished. High levels of malnutrition and catastrophic mortality rates
among the displaced are caused by the especially harsh living
conditions. We must not ignore the horrific human rights abuses occurring right
now within the lands of Darfur.
The Darfur People Union in United States is appealing to all those
who are in a position to assist to act expediently to call on the
Sudanese Government, the United States and United Nations Security Council
to take immediate steps to:
1) An immediate abolition of all hostilities by all armed combatants of
the Republic of Sudan, the Sudan Liberation Army, Justice and Equality
Movement, paramilitary, and or militia groups (Janjawiet).
2) Immediate installation of international peace-keeping forces and
U.N. peace observers to maintain order and compliance of cease-fire by all
sides.
3) The Sudanese government and opposition groups must permit and assist
international humanitarian/human rights NGOs and staff in both
providing medical care, food relief to displaced persons within the territorial
confines of Sudan, and allowing for thorough examination of the
humanitarian needs by human rights workers.
4) The immediate inclusion of the Darfur region populations and
movements therein in a revised and expanded peace protocol for the resolution
of the conflict in Sudan.
5) Sudanese government must assure that displaced populations from the
Darfur region must be assisted in resettlement in their place of origin
without regard to persons or populations presently domiciled on land
abandoned due to conditions of war. The right of return must be extended
to the Darfur refugees in Chad.
6) The government of Sudan must provide a resettlement plan for
alternative living space for alien/non-native stateless populations, presently
occupying land belonging to Darfurians displaced by the conflict. Any
viable relocation scheme must not deprive indigenous Darfurian
populations of their arable or pastoral land, water rights, or urban space, nor
should these populations due to an existing state of enmity be settled
near or adjacent to Darfurians.
