Sudan Campaign

"A broad coalition of activists have initiated "The Sudan Campaign" two weeks of intensive activity in Washington and around the country to spotlight the on-going genocide in Sudan. The Campaign calls the nation to action and petitions President Clinton to stop what Congress deems a "genocidal" onslaught by the Government of Sudan on its indigenous African population. The onslaught includes forced starvation, enslavement, and religious persecution.

"The Campaign arises in response to Secretary of State Albright's challenge that suffering in Sudan has not been "marketable" to the American people. But Americans care deeply about victims of genocide, and will not sit by silently...

"The Sudan Campaign begins on May 23 [2000] with an inaugural ceremony at the Capitol Building featuring escaped slaves, congressmen, and other notables. Participants at the opening ceremony will then walk to the White House to petition the President.[1]
