Title
Darfur Pledge
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- In 2005, General Romeo Dallaire, who led a small UN peacekeeping force in Rwanda and made a heroic attempt to warn the world of the impending genocide, estimated that a protection force of 44,000 -with a mandate to protect innocent civilians- could stop the cycle of violence in Darfur. He emphasized that we possess the collective capacity to exert our will on our government leaders, if only we would use that power. It is in the spirit of General Dallaire's words that we ask you to make a pledge on behalf of the people of Darfur.
