Without the food, water, and medicine provided by aid groups, millions of vulnerable men, women, and children in Darfur and throughout Sudan face starvation and disease. Act now to get these agencies urgently reinstated. The alternative is unthinkable.

Omar al-Bashir, the president of Sudan, is succeeding admirably in making a mockery of the International Criminal Court and its arrest warrent for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur. Bashir has paid no attention, traveling regularly.
