Security in DarfurMore equipment, peacekeepers, and funding can mean the difference between safety and danger, life and death for the countless civilians who continue to live in fear.
Accountability for crimes in DarfurDarfur has become a lawless land where civilians live in fear, and perpetrators roam freely. The world demands an end to impunity for those who are responsible for the heinous crimes in Darfur, whether they be found in Darfur itself, or in Khartoum. |
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and RefugeesThere are over 250,000 Darfur refugees in Chad, and more than 2.3 million people are internally displaced in Sudan. While humanitarian aid agencies try to assist the displaced and millions of other survivors, pervasive insecurity threatens their operations.
