Hi there,

As the future of democracy in the United States hangs in the balance, the need for courageous independent media is more important than ever. Our reporting centers the voices of people routinely excluded from corporate and government-run media, such as those raising deep questions about war and peace, demanding an end to our global reliance on fossil fuels. Because we are audience-supported, we need your help today. Can you donate $15 to Democracy Now! today to support independent media? From now until Giving Tuesday, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $15 donation is worth $45. Please help us air in-depth, substantive coverage of the outcome of the election and what it means for our collective future. Thank you so much! Every dollar makes a difference.

Kofi Annan Accuses Sudan of Violating Darfur Peace Deal

HeadlineSep 12, 2006

In news from Africa — United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan has accused Sudan of violating the Darfur peace agreement by waging a series of recent military attacks.

  • Kofi Annan: “Thousands of Sudan armed forces troops have been deployed to the area in clear violation of the Darfur Peace agreement. Even worse, the area has been subjected to renewed aerial bombing. I strongly condemn the escalation.”

Kofi Annan called on the international community to take a greater role in securing peace in Sudan.

  • Kofi Annan: “Can we in conscience leave the people of Darfur to such a fate. Can the international community, having not done enough for the people of Rwanda in their time of need, just watch as this tragedy deepens. Having finally agreed, just one year ago that there is a responsibility to protect, can we contemplate failing yet another test?”
