Express your solidarity with the people of Darfur
Come to the Mansion House on Dawson Street at 1pm this Friday to witness the lighting of a candle by the Lord Mayor to express solidarity with the people of Darfur. Shortly afterwards, witness testimonies will be heard in St. Anne's church on Dawson Street. Please join us and show your support.
Protect the People of Darfur - solidarity action by Irish Non-Governmental-Organisations
Despite the signing of a Darfur peace agreement on 5 May 2006, the violence in western Sudan has continued to escalate. While attention on Darfur is waning, people are still being killed, raped and displaced from their homes everyday.
Since 2003, Darfur in western Sudan has been embroiled in a deadly conflict. 85,000 civilians have been killed and more than 200,000 have died from war related causes. More than two million people have been displaced and live in displaced-persons camps in Sudan or in refugee camps in Chad; more than 3.5 million people are reliant on international aid for survival.
The violence in Darfur is escalating. Civilians are in danger of being killed, raped and forcibly displaced now. Protection for the people of Darfur is vital- action is needed now.
On Friday September 15th, at 1pm, the Lord Mayor of Dublin Cllr Vincent
Jackson will light a candle on the steps of the Mansion House, to express the solidarity of the people of Dublin with the people of Darfur. He will be joined by representatives of the Africa Centre, Amnesty International Irish Section, Concern, the Darfur Solidarity Group, Frontline Defenders, Trócaire, the Sudan Support Group and other non-governmental-organisations as well as by members of the Sudanese community in Ireland.
The group will then proceed to St. Anne's Church on Dawson Street to conduct an event which will include testimonies attesting to the suffering of the people of Darfur, as well as music and song.

Jump To Comment: 1Day 105 24/7 DC VIGIL for DARFUR; Day 35 HUNGER STRIKE (54 days so far this summer, with breaks); ARRESTED Sept 9th at White House with 29 others from Africa Action; http://www.standwithdarfurwhitehouseii.blogspot.com
THE ONLY HOPE FOR DARFUR: WE-THE-WORLD’S-PEOPLE. Duh.
It is said that the mark of truly being “crazy” is expecting different results from doing the same thing over and over and…. Ok, we needed to try some new approaches, hoping we could find a new formula for mass social change (stopping Genocide has NEVER been done); looking for an approach that would be comfortable, convenient, safe, executed from our computer terminal / phone / TV or office in some combination. The variations we’ve tried are: * Blame (Bush, UN, EU…) , * Emails, letters, postcards…,* Letting the Nonprofits do it, * Divestment. And the results are in. WE ARE NOT, STOPPING THE GENOCIDE!
You mean that the answer for Darfur is the same answer we found for…* Ending the Vietnam War, * Gaining Civil Rights in the US, * Gaining Women the right to Vote in the US, * Ending apartheid in South Africa, * Throwing off the British oppression at our start....?
Yup. No one else, nothing else can stop it, can save 4,000,000 in Concentration Camps in Sudan and Chad. The buck stops with WE-THE-WORLD’S-PEOPLE. Let’s stop talking and start - marching, demonstrating, sitting-in, hunger striking….
The next step is September 17th (SaveDarfur.org; DayForDarfur.org). BUT, then we need to be ready on SEPTEMBER 18th, 19th… AS LONG AS IT TAKES, WHATEVER IT TAKES.
