President George Bush:

Every day, the 2.5 million people chased from their homes in Darfur face the threat of starvation, disease, and rape, while the few lucky enough to remain in their homes risk displacement, torture and murder. Therefore, we call on you to do the following:

  • Push for the deployment of a strong UN peacekeeping force.

  • Increase humanitarian aid and ensure access for aid delivery.

  • Establish a no-fly zone.
