UNAMID worker wears "I Caucus for Darfur" t-shirt

The goal of Ask the Candidates is simple...make sure the presidential candidates know that ending genocide in Darfur is a top priority of the American people. We never expected that one of our t-shirts would make it all the way to Sudan on the back of a United Nations African Mission In Darfur worker! Check out this photo a member of our staff found on UNAMID's website.

Vote for a Darfur Question at the Politico Debate

Last week, we asked you to submit Darfur questions for the upcoming presidential debates. Since that time, one question in particular has received a lot of attention. It was submitted for the CNN/Politico Debates in Los Angeles at the end of the month:

In Darfur, as a genocide rages, the United Nations/Africa Union peacekeeping mission is being undermined by a lack of support from the international community. They need helicopters, soldiers, funding, and help overcoming the obstructions of the Sudanese government. As president, what tough, proactive actions would you take to stop the peacekeeping mission from failing. (And please give tangible solutions, not just a vague statement of support.)
