Socially responsible investment for the people of Darfur.
Take Action Now!
The wealth of Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, driven by oil profits, stands in stark contrast to the war-torn region of Darfur.

The U.S. isn’t the only country with a troubling dependence on oil. In Sudan, the dependence on oil is literally a matter of life and death. Urge powerful businesses to answer our call for socially responsible action in Darfur.

Ninety percent of Sudan’s export income is derived from oil. Most of that money has fueled five long years of suffering in Darfur. However, the world’s most powerful investment firms, such as JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo, have the power to take action that benefits the people. Urge investment firms to seek a socially responsible solution in Darfur.

Thanks in large part to your actions, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, and a few other firms are waking up to the calls for corporate social responsibility in Sudan. But other big businesses still need convincing. Tell top U.S. investment firms that socially responsible investment in Sudan is important to you.

The most powerful investors in the world can choose to tolerate widespread murder, torture, rape, and forced displacement. Or they can help end the catastrophe in Darfur.

Support a socially responsible solution to help end the crisis in Darfur.

    Ya asshole, now that pakistan has again shown to be a failed state (first time in 1971, then when creating taliban, then exporting nukes etc etc), an independent kashmir is just an idea generated of hatred, the driving force behind your thinking and writing. dream on, india is only waking up, traitors like u will get crushed even before they know it.
