A message to China - Save Dafur

Determination: legitimate Email for good cause.

China must not turn its back on the genocide in Darfur.

More than 80,000 Darfurians have been displaced in recent months and China has the power to stop the genocide.

Tell China's "special representative to the Darfur issue" to help deploy UNAMID peacekeepers. http://action.savedarfur.org/campaign/china_liu/i87we8x4hkk5e8b?

The violence in Darfur is getting worse. More than 80,000 Darfurians have been displaced in recent months and increased fighting has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians.

Right now, China should be focused on getting peacekeepers on the ground in Darfur. Instead they appear to be monitoring our computer systems. http://action.savedarfur.org/ct/S1MfeXd1_cPB/security

We cannot let China turn away from the genocide in Darfur. China must use its influence to pressure the Sudanese government to stop the violence.

Click here to tell Liu Guijin, China's "special representative to the Darfur issue," to use his power to help deploy UNAMID peacekeepers and end the genocide before more lives are lost. http://action.savedarfur.org/campaign/china_liu/i87we8x4hkk5e8b?

As a member of the UN Security Council, China has enormous leverage over the peacekeeping mission. However, instead of using its leverage to advance peace, China continues to defend Sudan's interests, expand trade, and bolster the Sudanese government's military capacity.

We can't be fooled by the aggressive propaganda campaign launched by China in advance of the 2008 Olympics. While China has made a few modest steps forward, these efforts have not improved conditions in Darfur.

China's "special representative on the Darfur issue," Liu Guijin, must do everything in his power to push the Sudanese government to allow the swift, full and effective deployment of the UNAMID peacekeeping force.

Best regards,
