Darfur: A Genocide We Can Stop
|
Physicians for Human Rights Darfur Investigation: The moment of truth is now. We must act to stop genocide in Darfur.
It has been one year since the Bush Administration declared genocide was underway in Sudan. Although reports of large-scale government of Sudan-supported attacks have decreased, internally displaced Sudanese civilians are at great risk and continue to need protection as large swaths of Darfur remain hostile and inhospitable to return. TAKE ACTION

Sexual Violence and its Consequences among Displaced Persons in Darfur and Chad: Since early 2003, Sudanese government forces and government-backed ethnic militias known as "Janjaweed" have committed war crimes, crimes against humanity and "ethnic cleansing" in the Darfur region of Sudan. For further background on the human rights situation in Darfur see Human Rights Watch reports and briefing papers: "Targeting the Fur: Mass Killings in Darfur," January 21, 2005; "If We Return We Will Be Killed:" Consolidation of Ethnic Cleansing in Darfur, Sudan, November 2004; "Empty Promises: Continuing Abuses in Darfur, Sudan," August 11, 2004; "Darfur Documents Confirm Government Policy of Militia Support," July 20, 2004; Darfur Destroyed: Ethnic Cleansing by Government and Militia Forces in Western Sudan, Vol.16, No. 6(A), May 2004; Darfur in Flames: Atrocities in Western Sudan, Vol.16, No.5 (A), April 2004.
Accounts gathered by Human Rights Watch over the past fourteen months largely corroborate the research conducted by other organizations investigating sexual violence.9 The International Commission of Inquiry concluded that rape and sexual violence have been used by government forces and government-backed Janjaweed militias as a "deliberate strategy with the aim of terrorizing the population, ensuring control of the movement of the IDP population and perpetuating its displacement."
