About the Sudan

The Sudan is a very large and diverse country. It’s located on the continent of Africa. Mountain ranges divide the deserts of northern Sudan from the swamps and rain forests of southern Sudan. The Nile River splits the country between the east and the west. Darfur is a relatively large Islamic sultanate in the western part of the Sudan.
Darfur covers one-fifth of the Sudan and is home to about six million people. The conflict in Darfur began in February of 2003. Even though the Sudanese government and the JEM signed an agreement, in February of 2010, to pursue further peace the conflict has spread as far as Chad. The mass murders in the Sudan are a huge problem and we, the people, need to take action! We could do all sorts of things but the idea that sounds the most effective would have to be the writing and sending of several hundreds or even thousands of letters to the US Congress and the US Senate! The more letters that the people of the United States send to the House of Representatives the more action they will take and the faster they will take it!
