The latest evidence from Darfur, western Sudan, reveals a population in crisis. An estimated one million people have been forced to flee their homes. More than 10,000 have been killed. Human rights violations are being carried out on a massive scale by the Janjawid, a government-backed militia, which often operates alongside government troops. You can take action through an Amnesty International office in your country, or you can write directly to Lieutenant-General Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir, President of Sudan.
