Promote Peace and Protection in Central Africa

Target: President of the United States
Sponsored by: ENOUGH

There have been and continue to be human rights violations on a massive scale in Sudan, northern Uganda and eastern Congo.

  • In Sudan, up to 300,000 have died and 2.5 million fled to refugee camps since 2003 in the country's internal fighting.

  • In northern Uganda, thousands of children (some as young as 8-years old) were systemically captured by the rebel Lord's Resistance Army, forced to become soldiers and kill.

  • In eastern Congo, there's a war raging that's killed approximately 5.4 million people since 1998, and one of its tools is the deliberate and systematic rape of women and girls.

While there is no magic formula to end these crimes, there is a strategic one. We can stop genocide and crimes against humanity now and in the future, through the "Three P's": Promoting Peace, Providing Protection, and Punishing the Perpetrators.

Please act today to help end the human rights abuses and bring peace to three of Africa's most troubled states.
