Sunday Rally on Darfur at U.N.

If you're in the New York area Sunday, head over to the U.N. for a rally to stop racist genocide and slavery in the Sudan.

Black people across Sudan are under threat of annihilation. The mass murder of Blacks in Darfur is the first genocide of the 21st century: 50,000 have been slaughtered, 2 million forced into the desert as refugees, and thousands raped and enslaved. In the South, the Shiluk Kingdom faces extermination. Across Sudan, millions of Blacks forced from their homes - Muslims, Christians, and animists - now live in refugee camps.

This is genocide. One million may die by December at the hands of the radical Islamist regime in Khartoum, led by General Omar Bashir, who took power in a 1989 military coup. For too long, world leaders have stood by and failed to stop the atrocities in Sudan's killing fields. Prominent members of the UN Security Council have oil and military contracts in Sudan.

But now a coalition of people of conscience - from all walks of life - have come together to hold world leaders accountable. As New Yorkers commemorate the terror attacks of September 11, they will also stand in solidarity with victims of terror in Sudan (which hosted Osama bin Laden until 1996). We come together to demand UN intervention to stop genocidal militias, to insist that Sudanese leaders be tried for war crimes, and to stand in solidarity with the victims of genocide and slavery - like 4-year-old Alsadik Mansour.

Are any bloggers going? Instapundit is looking for pictures to post tomorrow night.
