In the past four years, 400,000 people in Darfur, Sudan have been killed by their own government. Millions more need our help. Each day, government sponsored troops massacre civilians, rape girls, and shoot children for sport. But now, a growing number of activists around the world are demanding world leaders take action to end the killing. Please take 20 seconds to sign our petition.
A No-Fly Zone would stop the violence. We ran a No-Fly Zone in Iraq after the first Gulf War. We used one to end the genocide in Kosovo. We can do the same in Darfur. But we need your help. President Bush is already considering a No-Fly Zone as part of his "Plan B" package. Please take 20 seconds to sign our petition and urge the White House to take action.
Terror in the Sky: The Truth about Darfur
This one year old girl was shot by a Sudanese government helicopter. Her mother was killed. A No-Fly Zone would have prevented the attack. The Sudanese government is using its air force to terrorize civilians on the ground. Women and children in Darfur are routinely massacred by shrapnel- packed bombs designed to slay as many as possible.
Rape is used to destroy group unity. After an air raid, the Sudanese government's proxy-militia groups ride into town where they rape women and even young girls. Rape is also used as an incentive for soldiers to fight, along with stolen property from the cities they destroy.
The United States and its allies can end genocide in Darfur. Not through more rhetoric or ineffective resolutions – but through concrete action. A No-Fly Zone would require a single squadron of fighter jets backed up by 4 AWAC planes.
Why are people being killed? When ethnic African groups in Darfur declared their independence, the government of Sudan responded with a brutal campaign of violence against civilians.
Terror in the Sky: The Technology of Mass Murder
An Mi-24 Attack Helicopter hovers above the ground, ready to strike. Sudan uses this model to terrorize civilians on the ground, sometimes disguising their aircraft in the colors of the United Nations.
5 metal Fletchettes. These projectiles are packed into warheads designed to maim and kill as many as possible.
The cell phone service is shut off, and no one can get a signal. The government has shut off service with the help of an international corporation so that victims cannot alert their neighboring communities. Soon, an Mi-24 HIND Attack Helicopter emerges on the horizon. It soars over the town, dropping warheads packed with hundreds of "fletchettes" – nail sized projectiles designed to slice through flesh, killing civilians, but leaving property unharmed.
The Janjaweed militia are close behind. They ride in one horse back to pillage the remains of the decimated community. The women they find will be gang-raped; the men castrated and left to bleed to death; the children killed with the butt of a rifle, or shot for sport. After everyone has fled from the scene or been killed, the Janjaweed and government troops meet to divide up the property from the town they've destroyed.
We've used No-Fly Zones before. After the first gulf war a No-Fly Zone implemented by the U.S., Britain, and France effectively protected civilians on the ground from coordinated air strikes by the Iraqi military. The U.S. used a No-Fly Zone to end the genocide in Kosovo. We can use one now to stop the genocide in Darfur.
