Help Alleviate the Suffering
This is a letter from a prominent Sudanese human rights defender.
Service to God is Service to Humanity
To: Every kind and loving heart, to help alleviate the suffering of people through peace and Justice
I am born of Darfur soil. I am Darfurian and I am a Sudanese human rights defender. I am a humanitarian aid worker with 4 years of experience, having worked in South and West Darfur with Internally Displace Persons (IDPs) providing water, medicine, food and shelter.
Since I came to the US five months ago, I have been asking for help with addressing the needs of IDPs. In over 25 events and 30 meetings, I share with my audiences my views about the current situation of IDPs; how IDPs lack essential services and security and how their suffering is vast.

On acting locally…
Guest Post by Jan Kool
“Canada protects us. Canada feeds us. Canada covers us with blankets. We will protect Canada. We are Canadian.”
These words come from Muhammad Abkar, a Darfuri refugee who came to Canada in 2007, and who was recently part of a meeting between STAND Western and members of London’s local Sudanese population. This latest meeting – one in a series of meetings that began last December – was held at the home and gathering place of one of the many Sudanese refugees who have come to call London their new home.
