Demand UN peacekeepers be sent to Darfur NOW! Thousands of people in Darfur (West Sudan) are still being raped, killed and displaced from their homes, despite the signing of a peace agreementon 5 May 2006. The UN says around 23,000 peacekeepers are needed to protect civilians and implement the peace agreement. Sign this petition to demand the peacekeeping force be sent NOW.
