Text of letter sent by SVDP-USA President Gene Smith to President Bush regarding Sudan… “I am writing today to ask your help on a matter of great urgency. We are very concerned about the situation in Sudan and we look to you to urge leaders in Sudan to put an end to the policies that have resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and much starvation and disease…”…The Sudanese government must stop supporting the Janjaweed, disarm its fighters and fulfill its duty to protect the non-Arab people of Darfur. There can be no peace in Sudan without an end to the killing in Darfur. The leaders of Sudan’s government have the power to stop the atrocities that are occurring but they must have the will to do so. Your intervention and insistence is what is needed now…
