This from Amnesty International:

Despite the current UN ban on weapons to Darfur, arms continue to find their way into this conflict-torn region, helping prolong the conflict and contribute to the loss of life and home for thousands of innocent civilians.

An October 2007 United Nations’ Panel of Experts report highlighted, for example, the Sudanese government’s use of Russian supplied Mi-24 helicopters for attacks in Darfur. Sudanese armed opposition groups committing grave human rights abuses in Darfur have also allegedly received arms from Chad.

It has become undeniably clear that the current UN arms embargo on the Darfur region of Sudan cannot effectively restrain the arms flow into Darfur. Please call on your U.S. Senator(s) and Representatives today to encourage him or her to support S. Res 660 and H. Res. 1462, which call for an expansion of the UN arms embargo. Let’s help put an end to the violence in Sudan.
