Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Protests Worldwide for Darfur Intervention

HeadlineApr 30, 2007

Protests were held around the world Sunday on an international day of action to mark the fourth anniversary of the start of the conflict in Darfur. Marches were held in capitals including Washington, Rome, Tel Aviv and London. Sudanese member of Parliament Salih Osman spoke out at an event in Cairo, Egypt.

Sudanese member of Parliament Salih Osman: “The message is that the situation is still there. People are dying on a daily basis. Survivors and victims in Darfur need protection. We ask the world to provide protection to the people and to help them go back to their homes.”

The U.N. estimates at least 200,000 people have been killed and more than 2.5 million displaced in what it calls one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.
