World leaders are breaking their promise to deliver life-saving protection to civilians in Darfur despite their rhetoric on this crisis, according to a report released by two leading Darfur advocacy groups. In a joint strategy paper authored by Save Darfur Coalition president Jerry Fowler and ENOUGH Project co-chair John Prendergast, the activist leaders denounced the United Nation’s glacial pace in identifying and providing critical personnel and material for the UNAMID peacekeeping mission. The groups also decried the U.N. Security Council’s collective refusal to hold the recalcitrant Sudanese government to account for their obstructions.
