Families and Children Need Protection. Gaga Refugee Camp, eastern Chad






The children, families , and weak of Darfur and eastern Chad need to be protected immediately. After four years of indifference, paralysis, inaction, and mere lip-service, it is time for the international community to act aggressively and decisively to defend innocent and helpless people. The villages, refugee camps, and humanitarian agencies in Darfur and eastern Chad deserve the deployment of an effective peacekeeping force as soon as possible in order to protect defenseless people from brutal attacks and to allow the humanitarian agencies to do their life saving work without being in danger. Please contact your representatives (www.congress.org) to pressure the Sudanese and Chadian governments into accepting such a force.
