Dear President-elect Obama, As a candidate, you promised "unstinting resolve" to end the genocide in Darfur.
I urge you to keep that promise by making Darfur a priority from day one of your term to achieve:
- Protection of civilians from violence, starvation and disease
- Sustainable peace for all Sudan
- Justice for victims and accountability for perpetrators
