From: Scholars of Genocide Studies from Across the Globe, Human Rights Activists, Anti-genocide Activists, and People of the Cloth Re., Actions That Must Be Taken Immediately in Regard to the Chemical Attacks on Darfur As most of you are no doubt aware, this past week Amnesty International issued a report in which it decried and spelled out in great detail how the Government of Sudan has recently carried out chemical attacks against civilians in Darfur. In part, the report asserts that "horrific evidence," including satellite imagery and more than 200 in-depth interviews with survivors, along with the analysis of dozens of images, suggest "at least 30 chemical attacks between January and September took place in the Jebel Marra region." AI estimates that between 200 and 250 people were killed as a result of these attacks, "with many or most of them being children." Whether you deem it a continuation of the genocidal actions against the Darfurians, a case of crimes against humanity, or war crimes, it is an outrage.
