#SudanTerrorIsTerror

Filed under Actions

At a recent conference, Act for Sudan’s co-founder, Eric Cohen, shared Lessons and Challenges from the Genocide in Sudan 

My group, the Massachusetts Coalition to Save Darfur, like the Pittsburgh group and many other groups around the country have been activists for Sudan for many years. Together, Sudan activism in the US has helped a great many Sudanese, particularly by America providing most of the aid that has helped sustain the millions of people displaced from their homes in Sudan, thereby preventing even more deaths.

And yet, sadly, all our collective work over the years has not been enough. Not enough to stop the government-sponsored killings. Not enough to force a breakthrough so that the millions of displaced can get humanitarian assistance. Not enough to end the marginalization and targeting of Sudanese peoples. Not enough to transform the political model in Sudan that victimizes millions while advancing extremist ideologies. Not enough to end the regime that is the root cause of Sudan’s problems. Not enough. Not yet.
