State Department(外務省)に電話を!-ダルフールで3万人が危機的な状況先週末、スーダン政府がムハジャリヤ町からのUNAMID(ダルフール国連AU合同ミッション)の撤退を要求しました。3万人が暮らすムハジャリヤ町周辺に、現在スーダン政府軍が待機していて、周辺難民キャンプを空襲しようとしています。スーダン政府は明らかに、人命の犠牲をいとわない最大規模の攻撃を意図しています。オバマ政権は重要な局面を迎えています。
State Department(米外務省)のパブリックコメントライン(+1-202-647-6575/24時間OK)とホワイトハウス(202-456-1111 or 1-800-GENOCIDE/9am-5pmEST平日のみ)に電話し、以下のメッセージを残してください。
---------------------------------------------
I'm calling to ask President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton and Ambassador Rice to embrace their responsibility to protect the tens of thousands of innocent civilians in Darfur who are in immediate danger due to this weekend's alarming escalation of violence by the government of Sudan.
President Obama, please issue immediate warnings to Bashir and the government of Sudan specifying consequences of attacks on civilians. Please also prepare an emergency response plan to address further violence and appoint a full-time senior level envoy."

Call the State Dept - 30,000 lives at stake in Darfur 10:37am
Over the weekend, the government of Sudan requested that UNAMID withdraw troops from Muhajiriya, home to 30,000 civilians, as it masses its military forces outside the town and uses airpower to bombard nearby camps for displaced persons. Khartoum's intention is clear: a full-scale assault on Muhajiriya regardless of the cost to civilians. The Obama administration now faces a crucial moment .
Call the State Department's public comment line 24/7 at 202-647-6575 and the White House (9 AM - 5 PM EST weekdays) at either 202-456-1111 or 1-800-GENOCIDE with this message:
I'm calling to ask President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton and Ambassador Rice to embrace their responsibility to protect the tens of thousands of innocent civilians in Darfur who are in immediate danger due to this weekend's alarming escalation of violence by the government of Sudan.
President Obama, please issue immediate warnings to Bashir and the government of Sudan specifying consequences of attacks on civilians. Please also prepare an emergency response plan to address further violence and appoint a full-time senior level envoy."
