Urge President Obama to Appoint a Regional Envoy to Deal with the Conflict in Darfur

Many "think that the violence in Darfur is a local problem, confined to Sudan. But with ongoing conflicts in Chad and the Central African Republic (CAR), and with rebels and refugees constantly traveling across the borders of all three countries, the problem is a regional one.

President Obama is committed to solving this problem. He is close to appointing a special envoy to deal with the human rights and humanitarian crisis in Darfur. But focus must be broader than Darfur to solve the problem. The conflicts in Sudan, Chad, and the CAR are interconnected, and any envoy must be given authority to deal with the entire region.

Fill out the form here to ask President Obama to appoint a regional envoy who will work with all parties to the conflicts, as well as the regional and international communities, to advocate a solution to the crisis."
