Darfur and Sudan Recommended Webinars

1. Panelists recommended focusing on stories of Sudanese experiences of the war --this will help to humanize the conflict and help people relate to what is happening.** 2. A good "slogan" is needed --the 2003 Campaign slogan "Not on our Watch" was very well received in the context of the time: the 10th anniversary of the Rwanda genocide and the widespread belief that if action had been taken, the genocide could have been prevented.Cannot let Rwanda happen again.** 3.An easy to understand description of what is happening in Darfur and broader Sudan today.Education about what is happening is very important.** 4. Faith-based groups played very important roles in the 2003 Campaign and need to be mobilized again (this is happening to a small degree.)** 5. Be sure to have input from Sudanese activists.** 6. Coordinated International Days of Action were recommended.** 7. Important to try to stop arms from being sent to the warring parties in Sudan, especially stopping the UAE from sending arms to the RSF, which is committing genocide in Darfur.** 8. Remember that unlike 2003 there is a "pro-genocide" lobby that wants to continue to send weapons to the RSF --the UAE is the main offender and is using its networks, money and power to deflect any blame.A case has been brought against them in the International Court of Justice.However, weapons from European manufacturers are also making their way to the RSF (see France 24 below).** 9. Financial assistance is needed for the ERRs and
