“The new UN report on Darfur is all words and no action. It is a cruel betrayal of black Africans who are being slaughtered by Arab Islamists. These killings are racially motivated and the UN’s failure to condemn them as genocide is craven appeasement of the Sudanese government and the Janjaweed militia,” said human rights campaigner, Peter Tatchell, a member of the ad hoc Darfur Solidarity Campaign.

Darfur - UN is all words, no action

Call for peace-keepers, sanctions & no-fly zone

Arab Islamists guilty of ethnic cleansing black Africans

London, UK – 4 February 2005

“The new UN report on Darfur is all words and no action. It is a cruel betrayal of black Africans who are being slaughtered by Arab Islamists. These killings are racially motivated and the UN’s failure to condemn them as genocide is craven appeasement of the Sudanese government and the Janjaweed militia,” said human rights campaigner, Peter Tatchell, a member of the ad hoc Darfur Solidarity Campaign.

“The UN’s condemnation of the mass killing, torture and rape in Darfur doesn’t go far enough. Saying the human rights abuses merit prosecution by the International Criminal Court at some point in the future does nothing to halt the current massacres. The UN must initiate an immediate four-point action plan to stop the slaughter and starvation:

• “Enforce a no-fly zone over Darfur to halt the Sudanese bombing of African villages
• “Send into Darfur a 15,000-strong peace-keeping force to protect the civilian population and aid workers, and to keep the warring factions apart
• “Provide food, clothing and shelter to the victims of the conflict
• “Impose sanctions against the Sudanese government leaders and the leaders of the Janjaweed militia, including an arms embargo and an assets freeze

“Islamist Arab racists are responsible for the genocide in Darfur. They are slaughtering black Africans in a deliberate policy of ethnic cleansing.

“The best hope for Darfur is ending the Islamist military regime in Khartoum. Without a government committed to democracy and human rights, there can be no freedom and social justice for the people of Sudan and Darfur. All Sudanese - Arabs and Africans, northerners and southerners - have a common interest in overthrowing the Islamist military dictatorship.

“It is time the international community stopped wringing its hands and started taking action to halt the mass killing and starvation in Darfur.

“Darfur is a needless, preventable humanitarian tragedy, caused by the complacency and inaction of the United Nations, the African Union and European Union.”

“It is estimated that 50,000 African Sudanese have been murdered since 2003 by the Sudan armed forces and the Arab Janjaweed militia. A further 1.5 million have fled their homes, fearful of being massacred,” said Mr Tatchell.

The voice forum group, like other user groups at LARC, are asked to pay for their phone use, to not run up huge bills, and to use the cheap dialling numbers stuck on the wall there for international calls. By 'the management' i suppose you mean the open usergroup meetings that agreed this, including the voice forum person who was at the meeting. The forum and Sudanese activists ARE being supported at LARC by their use of the space and it's resources, and the forum has already been let off paying it's last phone bill (and it was asked to go easy on the calls back then as well). It's mainly or totally 'non-christian groups' using LARC so don't see how the voice can be 'the only other'. Being asked to sort out it's bill is hardly 'being picked on', clearly the group doesn't have to pay 'immediately' (that appeal for cash could take a while eh?) and it was PGA not LARC that was attacked by WEZ for 'institutional racism' (tho' obviously LARC must be racist as well by association and for chucking out the WEZ windup merchants....)

But then i guess this reply is just another example of insidious, racist, christian, greedy, bureaucratic propaganda eh?......


A friend of LARC.

no, i don't mean the "open" usergroup, i mean the Board of Directors, the Chairperson and the Secretary of London Action Resource Centre Ltd. , which is the group that intervened into the consensus process of the user group and decclared a fake 'emergency' in order to institute a majority vote process at the last AGM.

I was at both these meetings. I guess this is the lowest piece of shit lie so far. What on earth is your motivation? Fortunately its pretty tricky to misrepresent people [who have known each other for years] to each other [but you lot did'nt realise so many people went back such a long way did you?]. Game over.

Evol is as usual trying to use someone's problems to cause shit within groups and centres. This is why he and his freinds get thrown out of social centres! I hear they have turned up at Limehouse TH, good luck to them.

Please ignore him. This is a total false explaination of what happened, the VOICE did make many calls and along with other groups who use the building are finding ways to pay the phone bill, no groups have money but we will support each other.

But if any of you want to help out please do send donations to the above address, and sure to the VOICE they do great work and need support, but would i am sure prefer people to do work in simular areas rather than fighting on indymedia!
