Save Darfur Coalition
Unverified non-profit organisation
The Save Darfur Coalition is an advocacy group calling for international intervention in the Darfur genocide in the Eastern African state of Sudan. Based in the United States, it is a coalition of more than 180 religious, political, and human rights organizations designed to campaign for a response to the atrocities of the War in Darfur, in the three Sudanese federal states that make up the region of Darfur. The result has become a global humanitarian crisis, with official estimates averaging around 299,000, as of early 2010, as a result of ethnic cleansing, disease and starvation.
Save Darfur is committed to the goals including:
-Ending the violence against civilians;
-Facilitating adequate and unhindered humanitarian aid;
-Establishing conditions for the safe and voluntary return of displaced people to their homes;
-Promoting the long-term sustainable development of Darfur; and
-Holding the perpetrators accountable.
