ARMENIAN AMERICANS JOIN COALITION “AGAINST GENOCIDE” IN RALLY IN FRONT
OF WHITE HOUSE

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 10. ARMINFO. Armenian Americans joined today with a
thousand activists brought together by Africa Action and a broad-based
coalition of religious, ethnic, and human rights groups at a White
House rally calling for decisive U.S. action to end the genocide in
the Darfur region of Sudan, reported the Armenian National Committee
of America (ANCA.). The demonstration marked a year of inaction by the
Administration following the President’s declaration that a genocide
is taking place in Darfur. The aim of the gathering was to kick off a
period of renewed activism by people of conscience across the country
to encourage the President to take every step necessary to ensure an
urgent multinational intervention to provide security to the people of
Darfur. To date, over 400,000 people have been killed; hundreds are
dying every day and hundreds of thousands more are at risk in the
coming weeks and months unless urgent action is taken.
