Tell the leaders of Canada's political parties that you care about peace in Darfur

Subject:

Dear ___,

I would like to see our government take action in Sudan. There is continued violence in Darfur and an ever-increasing threat of a return to war between North and South Sudan. The Canadian government can alleviate suffering, protect civilians, and build and reinforce peace within the Sudan.

It is extremely alarming to see that there has been an increase in violence in South Sudan and increasing tensions between Northern and Southern leaders. Like many others, I fear that there will be a return to all out war between North and South Sudan. If this happens it will likely be the bloodiest and deadliest conflict that we have seen in many years.

The Canadian government can do a lot to improve the situation in Sudan. Most importantly, there is much work to be done at a diplomatic level, especially in supporting the political processes that can increase the chances of lasting peace in Darfur and between North and South Sudan. We can also do a lot by supplying materials to peacekeepers and by providing life-saving humanitarian supplies and services.�

Please let me know what you and your party will do to address the grave situation in Sudan.

Sincerely,
